==Theories== | |||
Coz stated in the HITS Christmas Dump of 2021: | |||
<blockquote>I’m pretty sure that’s Zubin singing the backup vocals through most of these, but sometimes it doesn’t sound like him and I wonder if it’s D Spectacular. [who is referenced in other uploads] The one track seems to refer to him in a manner that makes it sound like he’s a member of the band at that time.</blockquote> | |||
Coz contacted Rob, and Rob confirmed that D Spectacular was a guy named Dan P. who lived across the hall from Rob at the University of Michigan, and that they used to play some shows and open mics together.<ref>https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/blogs/fanjournals/audio-fanjournals/2021/12/the-hits-christmas-dump-of-2021/ Coz Baldwin.

With this in mind, it could be from an open mic performance with Dan P. | |||
The recording could also possibly be from [[Tally Hall]]'s first show at The Frieze Basement, when they were known as 540. | |||
