about

I found this series of recordings on a 4-track tape labeled the "The Coolidge Collective Sept. 30, 1997," but the tape included Cubby Creatures songs in addition to some early Poopdeck Pappy experiments as well as some collaborations between Matt and myself. This is also the tape that includes the original “I Like Christmastime” 4-track recording. I thought of transferring and digitally remixing that track, but then I thought that that track is maybe not really a rarity since it’s technically still available for purchase as a CD-R on cubby.net/ccr. However, it’s not currently available for download anywhere. Maybe that can be a special Christmas release some time in the future. Perhaps even this Christmas? Anyway, the title “The Remains of Until the Day” is what I was calling this series of tracks because that is the title I wrote on the cassette insert, but which was really just intended for the song that would become “Until the Quake Comes.” I have no recollection of recording any of this stuff, but I didn't take good care of the tracks on here. Jol's guitar comes in late because I must've recorded over the first part of it. And that piece that comes in after "Until the Quake Comes" was entitled "guitar, organ, sampler" and was all bounced to one track alongside "Until the Quake Comes" so there was no way to remix it. And then there's that mysterious piece at the end, which I was really excited to find. I guess I was getting all avant-garde, recording Emily and Karl over some droney sounds I created with the sampler I used to have. Not sure if it was intended to be a Cubby Creatures track or not. But it was nice to transfer it to the computer and mix it with Audacity. It turned out sounding much better than what I could have ever done just with what was on the 4-track. Definitely some movie soundtrack music there. I decided to keep all these tracks together as one track, even though they may not technically all be "Cubby Creatures" tracks, because I just loved how they sounded flowing one into the other as they did when I first listened to them on the original 4-track tape.
