were any other songs recorded during the uranus sessions?

as far as i know, the uranus sessions in 1995 with jeff forrest at doubletime were as follows:

"wrecked him"
"waggy"
"zulu"
"lemmings"
"good times" (cover of the TV show theme song for the good times surf tour VHS video)

it's entirely possible the 1995 "princess leia" demo as well as "the girl next door" SW cover (which is also from 1995) come from those sessions, but i don't have confirmation on that. remember, it's expensive to schedule studio time, so it makes sense for a band to book a block and crank out a bunch of tunes at once. thus it seems more reasonable that they were all done at the same time. but who knows.

i have jeff forrest's contact info but i haven't got around to talking to him about this yet.

Thanks for the info! i wonder why lemmings didn't make it to the uranus ep, it would've been cool

because they saved it for its own cargo seven inch, the split with swindle. uranus was ready for spring shows in 1996 (i bought mine at a january show at SOMA). lemmings shipped over the summer.

What I was trying to say is, if you’re  not gonna share it putting up a twenty second preview to brag and show you have it just to say you’re not gonna share it is obnoxious. 

Gotcha now and that I agree with. If the person who posted that clip really has the demo or even just that one song, they're a dickhead.

It would be cool to hear what info Jeff has/remembers on basically anything from that time period.

No I just heard the whole thing in March.

Can I ask the million dollar question of how/where and who has it and why they won't share mp3s of it?

None of the tracks on this are circulated. The Voyeur is a third one completely different from the two we have. 

So you can confirm that there are TWO full songs on the Dude Ranch Demo that none of us have ever heard?

I'm assuming you live in US? Is your friend Rob Perelman. Or are you buddies with Chesh in Israel or wherever? Where did they get it from originally? How many have it?

I still don't understand why people are keeping these particular demos to themselves. We have demos from enema and various early 90s years. Why keep these? Nobody is going to jail. I would betray whoever has them in 2 seconds, since they don't belong to them either. 

What I would do, outside of a heist mission, is bring a secret second phone to record these songs. When your friend sits you down to listen and you leave your phone in the other room, he will never know you're wearing a wire!

They're dickheads, plain and simple. There's absolutely no reason to not share this as a 320 kbps (or at least 192) mp3 for everyone to download and enjoy along with the other demos, other than wanting to be an elitist prick. Music is meant to be heard and enjoyed.

The music is being heard and enjoyed. Dude Ranch was release in 1997.

[Speedo]

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

heard but not enjoyed. the demos are way better. the mix and mastering on dude ranch sucks. trombino was the wrong call. but, tom was in love with static prevails.

TL;DR... if you don't like the sound of dude ranch, blame jimmy eat world.

i like static and clarity. still listen to the rest, but it's all meh after that.

[_Kyle_]

Nah, it doesn't get meh until whatever the 2007 one was

[radioactive tomdog]

i don't dislike the way the album sounds but it would sound so much better if tom lord alge mixed the whole thing. the two single versions he did are mindblowingly different.
