DESCRIPTION:
This tracks (If You Must, Downer, Floyd the Barber, Paper Cuts, Spank Thru, Beeswax, and Pen Cap Chew) are the rough band mixes, made on the afternoon of 1/23/88 shortly before they left the studio. While Endino mixed the songs that night, Nirvana played a show in Tacoma with the same setlist as the order the tracks were recorded during this session. This show can be found on the mis-titled "Tacoma 87" CD, and through trading in slightly better quality as well as on video.

Nirvana intended to record more songs during this session, but unfortunately they ran out of tape and couldn't afford more. The tape ran out during "Pen Cap Chew", which is why it fades out at the end. They also would have recorded "Anorexorcist" and "Raunchola". Both songs sound like they would have been amazing in the studio from the sound of that night's live performance. This live performance of "Raunchola" can be found on "Outcesticide III" in addition to "Tacoma 87".

from the album "Outcesticide: In Memory of Kurt Cobain"

Lyrics

Lesser God, loathe me
Lesser God, you're lonely
Lesser God, loathe me

You get, you get, you get, you get to me
Holy is the time, it's such an easy way to go
You get, you get, you get, you get to be
Hide the struggle in the skin under a fingernail

Lesser God, loathe me
Lesser God, you're lonely
Lesser God, loathe me
Lesser God, you're lonely

Waste your time by saving worthless gullibles
Kill a politician and then wear his clothes
This decade is the age of rehashing
Protest and then go to jail for trespassing
To me it's home... go... home... go...
