- “Mountain to Sound” (Soft Effects EP, 1997) That’s the first song that I feel real proud of. We’d been a band for about three years. The idea behind that EP at first was to make some B sides for a potential single.
- “Utilitarian” (A Series of Sneaks, 1998) The riff is basically “Jean Genie” backwards, which is in itself a rip-off of Bo Diddley. We were trying to let a little soul creep into this record by removing the distorted electric guitars where we could — trying to make it less, I dunno, alt-rock.
