-trouble at jinx hotel. these cursed recordings began in late winter 2003
-at the hotel2tango in montréal. it was a bitter sunday in march. the
-world was on the brink of war in old mesopotamia, and we were all of us
-sick with the influenza. headaches. fevers. wrecked guts and water on
-the lungs. coughing like crazy. everyone with a base case of the shakes.
-the hotel wass cold and its ghosts were unhappy. electricity was being
-weird. lights flickered and all the microphones crackled with live
-current. little blue sparks dancing through the studio rooms. amplifiers
-were picking up strange radio frequencies and the piano, which couldn't
-hold a tune to save its own life, was behaving like a cantankerous old
-man. our cats and dogs were nervous and excited, a-jitter the way
-animals get whenever catastrope looms. we started with a 16-track tape
-machine, three spools of 1/4" analog audio tape, and a lucky thirteen
-little songs hanging in our heads. but when the 16-track busted and
-broke down a few days later, we moved to 2" tape on a 24-track machine
-and began anew with our fingers crossed. then the 24-track showed the
-first symptoms of its own terrible illness. so we did what we could with
-digital audio tape while our trusty friend and technician, garfield
-lamb, nursed the equipment back to some semblance of health. then we
-transfered the digital recordings to 2" tape and went to work again...
-waiting to see what the gods would do next. they toyed with us for
-a while before unleashing their full fury: the 24-track, seizing
-mid-song one evening, ate a reel of tape and sent it spewing around the
-studio in little pieces, a scene as cruel as confetti at a funeral.
-garfield somehow managed to splice the tape together again. but our
-nerves were now in tatters too, scattered all over the hotel floor. when
-we finally finished tracking this music in the summer of 2003, the cats
-and dogs didn't look any less worried than when we'd begun. of course,
-they sensed the disaster we would soon see for ourselves: as we started
-mixing the very next night, a faulty lamp at the studio short-circuited
-and the tape machine caught on fire. a freak electrical accident. there
-was an asterisk of light; then a dragon-tail of smoke coiling across the
-room; then there was a darkness; and then the 24-track quietly died. the
-animals, cowering in corners, whined, *why didn't you fucking fools jump
-ship at the first sign of the storm*? that's when we drifted away from
-the jinxed hotel... floating until we found safe harbour in a studio we
-could borrow for a few days - one whose own resident dogs, zoro and
-ciska, greeted us with idiot grins and the contented looks of drunken
-sailors on calm seas. mixing was finished in a kind of delirious
-distress at MixArt in notre-dame-de-grace, montréal, autumn 2003. these
-lucky thirteen. dieu merci. slgc. *new year's eve* 2003.
-
-siren's song. instrumental.

-la la la, amerika. amerika is crawling with cops tonight as we put our
-fists through the windows of the world i know you're broken and you're
-down at the mouth but you're pouting like a punished little girl when
-darkness calls night falls oh mother where are the children you've
-orphaned all over the Earth we're frightened and sickened and
-poverty-stricken and waiting for you to send word when darkness calls
-the sky falls we're tired mother and we're poor we're wretched at your
-teeming shore we're homeless and tossed by the storm looking for the
-light at your golden door when darkness calls night falls.
