Only a passing resemblance to the real Little Feat.

I bought the CD on the strength of this cut, and I recall being disappointed that the balance wasn't as energetic or even interesting as "Let It Roll." Now I have to go back and listen to it again—hopefully, I was young and impatient, and the disc is a rediscovered gem. Let you know how it turns out.

That segue just happened again. "Quashing a groove" is an understatement, and it's totally unfair to Cake as it highlights their basic amateurism.

Saw them "trying out" this tour in a small club in Pittsburgh, (Graffiti):  there couldn't have been more than 300 people in a sweaty summer room:  these were MUSICIANS!!!   We danced all night!!

I'm just glad I had a chance to know Marty for a while before he left us. There's a Wikipedia article with a biographical sketch that gives some insight into his character.

I agree, gypsy. I watched over Marty "Neon Park" Muller's shoulder as he worked out this hard edge technique. Using acrylics on canvas, he would paint one image, then lay out strips of masking tape to block part of it, then paint another image on top. Removing the tape revealed the juxtaposed double image. (The trick to prevent the paint from bleeding under the tape is to go over the latter with a wash of diluted matte medium to seal the edges.) Marty, with his characteristic humor, told me he was going for the effect of "a video image made by someone who doesn't know anything about video images." Anybody interested in his work can see a series of gallery pieces using the same technique here (don't forget to use the "Go To Next Page" links at the bottom of each page).

I saw them do this live at Humboldt State University gym in 1989 or 90 - somebody had a gallon of Peppermint Schnapps going around - w00t!  What a great show.  {#Bananajam}
 

I was there (though I'm thinking more like '88-'89 -anyway the "Let It Roll" tour at HSU)! I missed the Schnapps but WOW what a performance. Hooked since and got to see them in Marin this summer.
