Moving toward a less hard-edged direction with the next set of songs after Train Wreck Therapy, I needed a new band name to release material under. Somehow I came up with the idea of "Bovinity" because Shannon had all kinds of cow-themed materal in her apartment.

I went to Jay Bentoff's studio to record and mix. It was a nice environment in a brownstone/townhouse and Jay was an excellent engineer. He was open to doing any type of material.

I bought a midi interface and midi program for my Macintosh IIcx for $35, and did all the backing tracks with a Roland D110, and Alesis MidiVerb II.

I ended up having it mastered twice, because the first time, I don't think the mastering enineer had any hearing left, and he put too much bass on the bottom end.
I like how this record sounds. It was engineered very well I wish the songs had been a little stronger, but I think "I Love You, Yeah, Whatever" is probably one of the best songs had ever written. My friend La used to play it over and over with the line about the table manners being her favorite.

The second Bovinty record I did at home, didn't go to the studio. It took a LONG time. This is a real fun disc, I tried to sing in a lot of colors.
I had a rivalry with Kirsten Elisabeth from Figure Of Speech. It centered around who could write the most bitter song. She claims I won but I think it was a draw. She wrote this song with a line about a cook who picks meat up off the floor when no one is looking.
