1	track notesyou'll never walk alone	04:43	Play MP3
	Notes: This is an alternate mix of a song rooted in an instrumental demo that Jeff brought to the band not long after he joined. Todd turned it into a psychotropic wash, and it serves as the hub of the album. You can shake your ass to this one too. music by j.lee, lyrics by t.cravens, backing vocals by sarah and susan.

	Notes: This is based on a jilted riff that Todd wrote at big as a barn studios a few years ago. we found it in our archives, dusted it off, Sarah wrote the coda, and the fetching little first-take jingle is now part of the DMH megacosm. music by t.cravens/s.cravens, lyrics by t.cravens/s.morris/s.cravens, backing vocals by sarah and susan.

	Notes: (Outtake from Permanent Midnight) - this is based on one of Jeff’s demos. when recording the "electric" version for Permanent Midnight, we decided to add acoustic guitar, which we liked so much that we decided to futz around with an acoustic-based version. that's Jeff finger-picking the acoustic on the intro. for a guitar player, he's also an ace on the drums. music by j.lee/ s.morris, lyrics by t.cravens, backing cocals by sarah, susan, aurora, and matt walden.

	Notes: (Outtake from the album a Tale of 10 Bells) - this is Susan’s baby, although based on a chord progression written by Matt Van Kersen (local drummer extraordinaire who was filling in at the time). music by s.morris/m.van kersen/j.lee, lyrics by s.morris, e-bow guitar solo by m.sommers, toy piano by s.morris.

	Notes: (Outtake from the album a Tale of 10 Bells) - this is probably the heaviest tune we've recorded to date and was a regular part of our live set for a long time. it was originally planned to go on our first album, but was yanked at the last minute. We're still not sure if we made the right decision, but it has finally found a home, regardless. music by t.cravens/s.morris, lyrics by t.cravens

	Notes: (Outtake from Permanent Midnight) - this peculiar ditty is one of the first songs written by the band - way back when our drummer (Tasha Blackman – now, playing with Neon Love Life) was on the traps. If you can imagine Freddie Mercury sitting in with Royal Trux, this might be the result. music by t.cravens/s.morris, lyrics by t.cravens
