    We recorded at Kramer's place where he lived in New Jersey. He was an amazing producer, but he's also completely out of his fucking mind. He lived there with his wife and their baby. Him and his crazy wife were always yelling at each other. The baby was spitting up and I was like, 'That's what babies do, so of course he's spitting up because you both are skinny, insane people and the baby is probably already absorbing your anxiety."

Kramer also played with another poet-rock band, The Fugs, and was also responsible for absolutely drenching Galaxie 500's sound in reverb. He basically defined the sound of that band for its duration. You can here it in the King Missle recording as well.

I do remember the song quite being played quite a bit though.
