It's here! The incredible hour and a half PLUS jam of the Orphanage, recorded on 0-05-07, and of epic proportions concerning fortune and fame and stuff!

The Picked Pockets perform once again featuring the core members Peyote Slinga, Gore Be Grym, Visigoth, HB Wellz, A-slide, Arkun (real name TBA), and Cop Killa--live from 88.3 WQRI at RWU. As usual, kind of. But this release has pretty good levels (although Gore's got a bit dim at points, and the accordion at times was of questionable level) and a nice diversity of thematic tracks, as well as Peyote Slinga slingin' his sweet-stuff MACINTOSH

(advertising purpose of CAPS --maybe if you search for "Picked Pocket Macintosh" on Google, this page'll show up? Maybe now that I put that phrase in quotes, it'll increase the chance more? I don't know theory of Internet search at all, really, and I need more sleep--)

and some nice noisey experimentation. But the ol' P-Pox spirit's still around. We've got themes on Joyce's Ulysses, Daisy Miller, and a bunch more.

Columbus Day means going home, and the kids that don't go home have to go to the orphanage. They get instruments though. Listen to them.
