guy, robin, dennis, and the inspirational international
love-rock cassette/fanzine underground. special
thanks to kyle, a mover and a shaker. dedicated
to anyone i've ever given the silent treatment!
all songs (except 11) © 1990 Franklin Bruno.what you've got: songs written alone, recorded (mostly!)
alone, and probably best heard alone. driving down
the road, with a carload of pals, or worse yet
on a date, this'll just embarrass you. listen to
it alone, then give it to someone else to listen to
alone. talk about it later. songs recorded quietly
enough not to disturb the rest of the house. songs
that came and went without ever being played ni
public. a candy cigarette, a finger to the lips, a
toothache in a dream. write 276 w. grant st. upland
CA, 91786 or Shrimper (see enclosed catalog....) Shh!
(That's Franklin's question mark up there next to track 8, not mine.)
