LEMONHEADS, THE
HOTEL SESSIONS (HALL OF RECORDS)
An intimate recording documenting a Sunday night that Evan Dando spent recording new songs with just an acoustic guitar (and some revealing commentary) in a hotel room in Bondi Beach, Australia.
The 14 songs include some that never made it to an official Lemonheads album, but Dando says, "the "Into Your Arms" I did here is better than the one on the album (I like it anyway).
"Hello you !! The record you hold in your hands ( or clicked on with your mouse ) represents the fulfillment of a little dream I had a long time ago, or for a long time .
Or is it a long dream I had a long time ago for a short while - or was it a big dream I've had for a long time .
Well , anyway I've always wanted to make an " Album " for 53 dollars - Walkman 50 , tape 3 bucks .
Oh to record live to cassette , master it and put it out ... I have finally done it ! I recorded this here biscuit in and around either December '92, or Feb '93 .
I remember it was a sunday night in Bondi - the night the "Car Enthusiasts come out . I had just returned to Australia - my home away from home- from our first Japanese tour .
Life was good . I made this tape for our Aussie agent of that time , Stephen Pavlovic .
I am forever grateful to this man for introducing me to Australia and a grand gang of australians! This LP documents a lovely lull in the action.
a Sunday night into morning to collect myself and my songs . The songs that would be on our next album .
some of these never made it and the "Into Your Arms " I did here is better than the one on the album ( i like it anyway ) So sit back, snort some no doze and listen for the tunes, the sea ,the tape hiss ( ahhh ) , the cars , the birds the trucks , and the killer motorcycle at the end of being around !! Wherever you live I'll be back there soon , inshallah !!!.
Until then let's all make the most of the tail-end of sex with furniture -Yours ever faithfully" Evan G Dando
