Somehow I wandered into a rap open mic night #NYC
Dude has the thinnest snare, all his cymbals and shattered, but he’s tight as hell. Today in Washington Square.

REMIX: The most quintessential CSpin song of all time, remixed for optimal put-your-top-down-and-your-bass-up blasting.
Ultraviolet was written in 15 minutes in 1997 while Zurich was waiting for pr0n or something to finish downloading (it was dial-up back then, remember?). It was during the height of the band’s aggressive East coast gigging and late-night studio sessions, and we like to think that he was just in the zone. Some other amazing songs were written that week, too, but those never saw the inside of a recording booth due to various touring pressures.
Anyway, this song was a blast to play live, too—if the bassist could just remember to drop the tuning on his E string. Really… was that so hard to remember, Paul?
This particular version was remixed in 1999 from the original 4 track cassette demo, and released on a Ballistic Test compilation CD by Flaming Fish Records.
