details demo

we had practice yesterday to work on some new songs and get a set ready for the shows at the end of march, we played 'details' a few times, i think it already sounds pretty good...

details (rehearsal recording)

lyrics:
i know you're trying to help, but you're not, so please stop.
cheap things cost, they cost a lot, they cost a lot.
leaving out important parts of history.
leaving out important details.
leaving out details is lying.

we have another march show booked now. saturday march 27 @ the replay lounge in lawrence with tre orsi & karma vision. should be a good one.

we have 20 cassette tapes made for the GOODWILLIES version of fractals in heat.
