  • Excerpt from Kim's 87 tour diaries:

    Anyway, we get to the radio station in Geneva very late, but they still want us to play, which is unfortunate. Carlos is disappointed in our attitude. We started complaining about having to do the show when we found out we weren't getting paid. And it's the same old story about how we'll end up with a high quality recording, but we already know it's gonna be lame because it's a dead room and we'll be playing in front of five swiss people bobbing their heads and smiling politely.

    So of course, they have a great spread of pate, cheeses, and smoked ham. We feel like slobs surrounded by this plush equipment and stark beige environment, quiet as a bomb shelter. From the first note it's a disaster. Thurston starts whispering obscenities over the intro to "Cotton Crown" We feel like jerks, so pretty soon Thurston is swearing new lyrics to all the songs, and one stops us. (Some of this session did end up on the B side to Master=Dik)
