Phil Elvrum or St. Ives wrote:
Little Bird Flies Into A Big Black Cloud was written on paper
in a "journal-style" book called "Souvenirs" by Phil Whitman
Elvrum while on a speedy trip through Europe in a van (in
between shows and restaurants; "on tour") in April and May of
2001, mostly. This book was finished up in Olympia, Wash., U.S.
of A later that year and compiled into a more concise
"book-let" called "Little Bird Flies Into A Big Black Cloud" by
"The Microphones" and published in the early summer of 2001 as
an edition of 110 copies, which was sold out eventually. The
recordings on this record were made on February 2nd, 2002
(02/02/02!) at 2 in the afternoon until about 2:40 in the
afternoon, pretty much straight through, at Dub Narcotic Studio
in Olympia, Wash., with a Neumann U67 microphone set on
"cardioid" and going to a Sony cassette recorder set on top of
the organ. The tape was sent to Custom Mastering in Nashville,
Tenn., and they made the record that you have here. Also, the
singing and playing was done by Phil Elvrum. The covers were
painted by him and Kyle Field, Jason Wall, Khaela Maricichi,
Susan Ploetz, Lucas Gray, and all kinds of other people.
Limited to 400 copies.
The girl who ripped this say:
This record holds a special place in my heart and when I
realised no one was ripping it I decided to do so. I found a
few rips on non-scene related sites, but this particular rip
was made by myself on my own copy on my Technic's SL-1200,
sampled into my Apple Powerbook (Hah! I just had to write the
tools just like Phil did). Phil never named the tracks on this
beautiful record, which annoys me so I decided to name them. I
gave the tracks names, some of them I actually knew what they
have been called before and some of them I just made up as I
felt what fit. If you don't like this, you are free name all
the tracks back to "Untitled". I don't care.
Til min skat, du er min kat.
