Old Soundclips

The soundclips were in Real Audio format. Had to have it to hear 'em.
These (sometimes large) files were located in another directory. You might have needed to download them and then played them afterwards.

Holy hi-fi, Batman! We've got more soundclips! (8/29/99)

The newer (and largest to date) clips are from the band's Tree Farm Sessions that took place in early August of '99. (I hope you have a fast modem!) The first FOUR clips actually contain, for the first time available to the mass public, VOCALS. Yes, that's not a typo. OB sings in all his tone-deaf glory. Get it while you can, it might not last for long... (and if you can't understand the words, we weren't exactly able to mix it for clarity... so go peruse the lyric sheets and follow along, aiight?)

Goosebumps - At the time, the newest HdH song in the catalog... literally finished mere days before it was recorded. The song that inspired the entire Tree Farm Sessions. This clip is the second verse and chorus. Ain't it sweet? Awww.

Small - This was still a fairly new tune when the boyz made the first attempt to record the song with vocals. It's admittedly not the band's favorite to play, but it's easy to do and it turned out decent. You make the call. The clip takes you through the first two verses and the first bridge.

Times Like These - An interesting result from a hodge podge of riffs, this song is fun to jam, and the band enjoys the final result heard here. Clip = 2nd verse -> bridge1 -> bridge2 -> chorus. Becoming a live staple.

She Looked At Me - Harder to play with vocals, the final product isn't as good as it should be, but not horrible nonetheless. You only get the first two verses, as the chorus is strugglin'. It's for your own good, so don't look at me like that. And the whole song is not quite as repetitive as it sounds.

(No Vocals:)

Up & Down - Two clips for the price of one! This is a really repetitive track without vocals, so midway through there is a cut where the track moves farther ahead in the song. It deletes a chunk of the first verse. So you get: Intro, beginning of First Verse, end of First Verse, Bridge and half of Chorus. Whew. Fun lil' ditty.

What If - This is a really great tune, though without vocals it kinda loses some of its punch. Take what you can get, though... and dig the cool intro and the fonky verse riff as well as the "chorus" jam that this clip ends with. See if you can follow along whilst reading the lyrics in your head.

The rest of these are just short, acoustic (no singing!), OB-only riffs from various older jam sessions - small snippets of complete songs. The more recent five clips were recorded with a completely different recording setup than the previous two.

Far Away - This was one of the newest songs in the family and was not even finished when the clip was recorded. It's kickin', now. This is just the major verse riff, repeated times 3.

Best of What's Around - HdH covers the DMB classic... one of OB's favorite covers to jam.

Feel Free - This was one of the easiest, quickest songs OB ever wrote. This particular clip picks up at the beginning of the bridge between verse 2 and the first "chorus" and ends just before the last verse starts. Can you dig it?

Pendejo - Hehe. This is the tail end of a very intentionally-humorous and sarcastic song... if you can get past all the string squeaks that dominate the clip, it's a fun jam to hear. Repetitive? Yes. That's why the whole song is about 1:45 long.

That's Whay They Say - A clip of one of the newest (at the time) HdH songs. This starts right at chorus #2 and goes into the refrain, and also has part of the jam before the third verse. There's actually a wrong chord in there, but would you know if I told you? The question is moot! (Although, I think it's very obvious).
