Originally issued as a bonus 3”cd-r with pre-orders of Digitalis’ release of Cursillistas’ Wasp Stings The Last Bitter Flavor CD, this mini-album compiles two live improvisations by the most communal of L’animaux bands, Bad Bus.  The opening track is an excerpt of a hammered dulcimer, glockenspiel, and vocal jam performed by Cursillistas’ M.Lajoie and Bird Microphone’s Alyce Ornella, with taps on the hardwood floor serving as percussion and everything run through a vintage analog space echo unit for a maximum trip.  Track two: Bad Bus #8 (Back Hoe) was performed live on WMPG Portland Community Radio’s “Saltwater Farm” program in the run-up to the first-ever Tryst Haunt label showcase.  Here, M. & Alyce are joined by Ian Paige (White Light), Nancy Scott, Kim Devries, and [seriously] a three-year-old toddler on drums.  After the performance, the audio tech at the station popped into the studio and commented, “Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun in there.”  Totally.  Silver 3”mini CD-R hand-stamped, with hand-written liner notes on art paper and held in a woven fabric sleeve.  Was limited to a 75-copy run; we have just a few left!
