The first installment in the Bedroom, Basement, and Bathroom series, recorded between 2004 and 2009 in a number of living spaces, mostly in the basement and the attic of the Burdick house in Kalamazoo, MI. Right by the Food Max across from the hospital. Lucky to have a lot of my friends stop by on this one. Recorded on the Tascam 788, old school. Also, silliness. Enjoy.
