Big fan of everything Mr Bungle has done just wondering two things.
1. What’s one of your early demo songs that didn’t make it onto an album that you’re fond of? One I like is Goosebumps, very unique and interesting vibe.
2. What can you say about the song Praise of folly that you’ve mentioned a couple times? I know it’s a song from California that was never released and that’s really it. Be really interesting to hear more about it.

my answer:

1. There are parts of several songs, such as Waltz For Grandma’s Sake, that I’m fond of, or rather, recognize the potential of. Mr. Nice Guy was one we all wanted to put on the first record, but something had to get axed.
2. It’s a fairly short, melodic song about End Timers partially inspired by Peggy Lee’s version of Me And My Shadow, with a somewhat Nordic string ensemble bridge. Maybe someday we’ll dig it up.
