We went to Mammoth to do some songwriting, but it started snowing really hard. And we made a toboggan out of a plastic trash can. We’d get three of us in it. We kind of went through an embankment and straight down into this culvert. We all landed on Chris [Derson, drummer] and broke his arm. We had to walk to the clinic in the snow... Victor’s [Krummenacher, bassist] dad was a pharmacist, so he kind of needled the doctor into giving Chris more and stronger drugs than he really needed. So we bought some beer, walked home in the snow and popped some pills. That is when we decided to record Tusk.Camper Van Beethoven reunite at the Knitting Factory later this month. Their 1986 song-for-song cover of Fleetwood Mac's double album Tusk comes out on August 13 and is available at www.pitch-a-tent.com. Unless this is some kind of April Fool's in July. Take the skinheads bowling; take them bowling!
now, there are good guys and there are bad guys.
