From The Crypt:
"All Things Considered" - Mono Puff
When Mono Puff visted the Washington DC studios of All Things Considered, they could resist cooking up this Puffed-up version of that shows memorable theme. That's Mike "Killer" Kahn sitting in on the bass as switch hitter Dan Levine takes charge of the trombone duties.
"Ultimate Battle for the Planet of the Apes" - They Might Be Giants
This is from a board tape, so you can barely make out the audience, but we wanted to include it for it's quiet intensity and relentless manic intent.
