1/13/96. Empty Bottle. Chicago, IL.
A little bit of Garbage Head, a little
bit of Filet Of Nod, a little bit of statue,
more than a little bit of Peter Emphysema,
a little bit of Fat Dog’s Gonna Hatch.

Phrogclock continues his talk with Kayla (from Texas) about equations,
and then they move on to the subject of gymnastics.
10/23/97. Phil tries out his new autoharp. Or was it Dylan? Or was it Jeff? Or was it Thymme?
In any case: One of those four. And everyone else played everything else. This was an odd phase of the band. Spirits were definitely being conjured during this period. The four would enter the practice space and “things” would immediately start happening. Ritualistic sonorities. Questions arose as to whether CHEER was to continue being a rock band or not. There was mostly interest in non-rock at this time…
A Kentucky native talks to Phrogclock about how he’s a “very unique thinker.”

1/13/96. Chicago, IL. Empty Bottle. This incarnation of the band (DylanPhilJeffThymme)
had been together for a year and three months by this point, and were really beginning to gel as a unit. Rousing renditions of “Even Has A Half-Life” (yes, that’s Azita Youssefi, who was at every show, demonstrating how this song is indeed a dance tune) and “When Clowns Go Bad” were performed that evening. As seen/heard here. And this was the one and only time Carl Palmer joined in.

Kayla, a girl from Texas, gives Phrogclock a call to help him with
his pre-winter blues. “There’s always gonna be equations!”
