It always blows my mind when Mary Lou promo detritus sells, which happens from time to time since I had it all at one point.  I can’t remember if I got this free from her or her people or if I bought in a cd bin before Got No Shadow came out.  I do remember buying an advance promo of Got No Shadow that was slightly different than the main album that was given to me after that.

So anyway every track here can be found elsewhere.  They are all Mary Lou A-game mainstays, though I prefer the original single version of Jingle Jangle.  Also, I never noticed the drum on "I Figured You Out" clomps like a clyde-horse.  I probably saw her do this solo acoustic so many times that hearing a drum on it is incongruous to me.  Maybe it's just my cd speakers with the damn subwoofer.  I'm a treble up/bass down kinda guy.

"Subway" is co-written by Nick Saloman of the Bevis Frond.  Hearing it today reminds me that sometimes I rewrite songs in my head when I don't hear them a couple decades as this wasn't something Mary Lou would play live so much to my recollection.  Setlist.fm says she did it on a double bill at the Knitting Factory with Jill Sobule and I vaguely remember going to that gig and that she was covering "Blimps Go 90" by Guided By Voices around that time, but I don't ever remember her doing "Subway."  I could've sworn somebody called it out once giving me a mental note that she didn't like to play it but maybe that was another song.

I blocked it out of my mind.
