about

The album was recorded as a live session for the final episode of CBC Stereo's late night music program Night Lines, hosted by David Wisdom. It is a largely tossed-off and improvised affair, showing the band indulging their silly sides. It is an enjoyable diversion for fans, but even the band acknowledges that casual listeners will likely find it weird and unlistenable.

The session aired on August 31, 1997.
