Currently available on various streaming services, including iTunes, Pandora, and Amazon Music, this album is a collection of songs that Eric Pleska and Ed Massena recorded as high school freshmen in 1994.
In 1994, under the name 43 Bob, the duo released their first demo cassette tape "Insanity Claus," followed by "Constipated," and their first full-length tape, "It's Not Me, It's Definitely All Of You." This collection includes 20 songs from that early era. Ed was a drummer but taught himself how to play any instrument he could get his hands on, ranging from thrift shop guitars to various brass horns. The pair often used party store kazoos and a drum machine with different sound effects, including smashing bottles. Ed also taught himself how to record audio at home, starting in this era with a Tascam 4-Track. The pair made music videos for several of their songs which at times featured other high school friend musicians. Music videos aired on the local White Plains, NY cable access variety show "Disconnect the Dots," which Eric hosted and produced.
This album is pretty straight forward 20 songs written and recorded on the fly in a bedroom by two 14-year olds.
