Comment:

Tape made in late November 2002. The title is yet another David Lynch / Twin Peaks reference and yes I have only just noticed that three of my tapes have either of those references. Ack. This titles other meaning is concerning the various stupid love-related issues (aren't they all) hovering around me at the time.
Have you ever noticed that people always complain about the hurt of falling in love with someone who shouldn't have? The events surrounding this tape go someway towards summing up how it can hurt when people that shouldn't have, fall in love with you. It's not all roses you know.
NB although no position on a tape should be classed as inferior, in hindsight I think "Purina Hall of Fame" is COMPLETELY wasted in the void that is the last track on side one. But I guess it's too late now, what's done is done.
