• Those of you who saw me last year - so funny to hear an echo on my voice, I'm not used to that, as if I'm speaking through the mists of time - those of you who saw me last year saw somebody shorter than the person who's with me now. This is Peter Hughes, he plays bass, and he sings in DiskothiQ, and we hawk records by our bands over there. And if you buy them, um, that would be just great. We'll be happy. He'll be happy, you'll be happy, it's a situation where everyone wins. So [inaudible due to Germans]. We'll sign them, or anything you want. I'll give you a recipe for vegan fry bread, it's quite tasty. I have to keep talking but I don't speak German. So I'd been on the ground about 24 hours when I started feeling this scratching in my throat and I've been sick ever since we hit the road. (Tollund Man)
• This is a song that I wrote, and then I went over to Peter's house one day and played it for him, and he learned it, and then I gave it to his band. And then I took it back, which is called the [inaudible - Indian?] giver. But we're doing it together here. It's called Tulsa Imperative, and it's on the DiskothiQ album you should buy. I explained the rationale for that earlier, how you buy it, you like the record, we have the money, everybody's happy, it's great, makes people cry, it's a beautiful system. Almost [inaudible] in its simplicity. (Tulsa Imperative)
• When I tried to hold the note, the stars, my voice became like a bad dog, and you say, c'mere dog, and the dog runs across the street? That's what my voice was doing during that song. So I'm sorry.
