- Well, I'm listening to it on vinyl so I may be having a different
- experience. Side 1 is fair to good, but I think the four opening songs on
- side 2--"Cool", "the Breadman", "Cast Iron" and Seed Toss"-- constitute the
- best consecutive set of tunes I've heard all year. Give it a few more
- listens, start in the middle of your CD and play LOUD. If that still
- doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. BTW, except for the omission
- of Skip Steps One & Three, I think Tossing Seeds is a better record to own
- than No Pocky For Kitty. Stronger versions of Seed Toss and Cast Iron
- here, IMHO.
