This is What it Thinks it is

Well this 12-07-07 recording is nice and chaotic. Originally just supposed to be a radio play, the evening turned into a very special journey, filled with many surprised. The recording process prohibited all the performance from being saved in its entirety, but what was recorded came out very well.

I divided this recording into two sets for a reason. The first set actually is composed of three sections itself. The first section is the introduction and the tuning. The second section, the bulk of the Set A, is a play by Amy (the Falcon). The third section is a spinning by Special J and a bit featuring some radio booth visitors.


Set A
01 - Over Boyz Noise (introduction)
02 - The Naming
03 - Checks, Balances, Systems
04 - Play pt. 1
05 - Play pt. 2
06 - Play pt. 3
07 - Death Metal
08 - Interlude
09 - The Special J
-- contains profanity
10 - Sirens Everywhere
-- contains profanity

The second set turned out to be a much more standard Picked Pockets jam, featuring the core members as well as Special J on turntables, Darth Mannerism (name change?), and the Falcon.


Set B
01 - I Have Feelings Too
--contains profanity
02 - Stopped by the Chancellors (Finally We Have Been Noticed)
03 - The Boy Soldiers Look for some Gold (Luck of the Irish)
--may contain profanity
04 - While We Were Gone the Whirlwind Came
05 - Finding the Beast in its Lair
06 - A Striking Disaster
07 - Laffy Taffy
08 - Bonus Recording

I think this statement is true: the bonus recording was actually recorded before the end of the first set, during the track, "The Special J." While Special J scratched inside, the rest of the Pox were outdoors smoking cigarettes and playing games.

The statement might not be true if: the track was recorded after "Laffy Taffy" and I got confused. Regardless, it was recorded on my hand-held digirecordah.
