Notes on the album:
The songs on this album were recorded with vocal microphones, and a lot of the time recorded as a single mono mixed track of each instrument, leaving little room for modifications. We didn't take any notes while we were doing this, and, more often than not, we had to repeat instrument takes days later since something got screwed up during the recording, which we didn't notice it until it came time to mix a song. We really didn't know what we were doing. In the case where modifications were possible (the first nine tracks), compression and equalizing was added since it was never done on the original demo. Thanks a bunch to Stephen Egerton for teaching me how to do that. It’s a little scary to think that this is the best it can sound, but it is what it is. The name is a take on the Buzzcocks’ “Singles Going Steady” of course, and the cover is a rip off of the first Replacements album “Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take out the Trash.” I find the cover to be fitting, because there’s a certain rawness to the songs (in recording and writing) that reminds me of the first Replacements album, even though our musical writing is nowhere near in comparison to Paul Westerberg’s. The recording took a few months and the modifications almost a whole year, since I only occasional put the time to work on them, and it was my first time doing it.
