fudge tunnel - in a word

released: 1995
label: earache

once upon a time i had a friend that was all into the punk rock. the dead kennedys and 88 fingers louie and hot water music and and nofx and the like. this friend's mom (who was quite the looker by the way) drove a jaguar and he was allowed to use it from time to time. this jaguar had a 6 disc cd player (that sat in the trunk) and sometimes i was allowed to throw in a cd....just as long as it wasn't any of that "hate rock shit that i listened to". on this particular day we'd taken a ride to the mall in the next town over (in the jag of course. what would've normally taken us about a half an hour took us 15 minutes. good times.). i ended up finding a copy of fudge tunnel's CREEP DIETS album at the disc jockey and i talked him into playing it on the rise home. so were headed home and about a minute into the song "grey"  he's all like "i said none of that hate rock stuff!" and then switched the cd.....

fast forward about 3 years and i'm walking home with my discman on and this car drives by and then comes a stop. so i stopped. the car then took off around the corner and i took off my headphones and was getting ready to set the discman on the ground as i thought a fight was coming my way (yeah. there were some folks around town that really weren't a fan. believe it or not). so the car comes back around and it's the friend with some of his friends. i hadn't seen him for a couple of years. the funny thing about that meeting was the fact that he was wearing a slayer t-shirt and there was something metal being played on the car stereo.

"where is this going,grampa? i have things to do. i have to be behind the bakery for when they throw the day old doughnuts away,bro. come on!"

fine.
the end.
i hope you choke on a bavarian cream doughnut.
and i hope that right before you die someone tells you that it's not bavarian cream.
go on now!
git!

so what this here thing is is a compilation of some peel sessions the band played as well as some live stuff and some covers and such.
enjoy you some fudge tunnel,kids.
