How/where/when did they come from?
Josh's place, after a night groovin' with Lauren Flax.
Suddenly, it all seems so surreal. The ironic thing is that now that about six years have
passed, Lauren and I are friends again (after several years of only being vaguely aware of
each other's existence). Well, I guess that isn't technically ironic, but after Alanis
Morrissette so horrbibly misunderstood what irony is in her song, I don't see that there is
any harm in me doing the same.
What is this Place called Yardley?
You don't want to know. Well, some people do, like Susan Joan Moscynski, but I firmly
believe that these folks are destined to die in ignorance. The stories are not to be
believed. In short, it is a land of dubious sexuality and untold riches.
Where the hell is Jamie?
Case Western Reserve University, or so we've heard, although apparently his family has moved
to Florida in recent years. I'm under the impression that he is, or was, a physics major, though
I must confess to having extreme doubt.

You make any money doing this?
Ummm... At first, but not a lot. Now we basically spend our time unloading the last few
tapes at less than cost, that is to say, free.
Who was almost in the Tamales?
Steve Yenchik and Craig Wiernik, and who's sorry now?
However, Arima Nam (aka Charles Nam's sis, (who is also at Oberlin now) played violin and
did backup vocals on one Pestilence
Also, Brian Beeber played drums with us a couple of times. He was a terrific excuse to skip school
senior year and go to the Jersey shore.
What's with the Mexican Food fascination?
Well, if you mean the part about the burrito, I should just say that
it is perhaps a question better posed to Josh than to myself. I had
nothing to do with it. Let me just say that it is probably best to wish
Josh a Happy Cinqo de Maio and then beat a hasty retreat
Who's John Luttrell?
Brother, you're asking the wrong man. He was this weird kid who was apparently
in one of Heitz's classes (this is High School we're talking about here), and
then suddently, just like that, he moved to Chicago. It took us forever
and a half to actually get around to recording "He's John Luttrell."
Do you have a video out?
A VIDEO!? Rather. It's the CYANIDE TAMALES movie:
Have you been on the radio
A couple of times on TSR, broadcasting to Trenton State College,
and fifty feet beyond! Though to be fair, they didn't seem real keen on the idea of
interrupting their sityr music to put the CT's on the air. However, while Elisa listened
from the car, Josh and I (Dave) actually performed a live version of stupid girl on the
air. Also, Craig played us on the AM station at
BU, once.
Any groupies?
Too many to count, but here are some of my favorites:
Jenn Sparrow jsparrow@risd.edu
Danielle Rogal (who's still in the stone ages, email-wise, and who, moreover, has apparently dropped off the face of the earth)
Amy McCaskey mccaskey@trenton.edu
Tania Z. Samantha Kamensky
Oh, one final question! No
Please??
Okay
What are the Names of all of your albums, and what are on them?
I should preface this by saying that I myself only have a copy of the last album,
and even that one seems to be on its last legs. I'll check the contents of the other
albums at some point.
