I just stumbled across you guys again after so many years! I was definitely a groupie and have How Old is Your Sister on cassette somewhere. Thanks for the trip down memory lane….

It’s up to him now.
Good Luck…and listen to the new stuff as if this were the end of the world and ours was the only music available and if music ever stopped going below 50MPH the radio would explode.

I fear the racial implications and/or a coordinated yet awkward attack by said white people. I claim I can get away with it as a poor dancing white person myself.

On the flip side, my wife always said, “What do you call a drummer without a girlfriend? Homeless!” I found that crass, but she claims she can get away with it because she was in a band once.

I’ll gladly take you up on your offer for MySpace proxyness. I’m afraid as soon as I sign up I’ll get sex offended. Email is on the way. My apologies for befouling your site with cliche’d minor witticisms.

I was really the driving force behind LFA. Without me it would’ve been nothing. NOTHING!

If you tell me who YOU are, I can get you in contact with JHutton. I haven’t e-mailed him in a while, but I think I have his address…so I can ask him if he knows who you are. (You can e-mail me at lizardsfromafar@comcast.net)
At the very least I will contact through myspace for you.

These days, every teen with a Mac has made a dozen YouTube videos. They’ll never know the pain of downloading 8-color porn at 1200 baud from a BBS one fat pixel at a time. :)

I haven’t had a chance to listen to all of the new stuff, but I liked Clipboard so far. I’m planning on collecting all of the digital media to enjoy on a road trip with friends from Chicago to Indianapolis this August.

I’m always wary of dropping names publicly, in the event they are trying to stay off the radar for some reason. However, part of what led me to LFA was trying to reconnect with him. Since he’s in your Top 40 friends on MySpace, I’m going to assume it is okay with him. JoHutto is his MySpace profile name. If you’d like more info, feel free to email me. If he reads this, I hope he’ll contact me so I don’t have to sign up for a MySpace account just to reach him.

I guess the approaching horror of mid-life and the now readily-available technology for digitizing the old tapes led several of us independently to this project. And now we’re making new music. Check out the new music on ReverbNation.com.

Do you perchance remember the name of the fan from Wesleyan who gave you the old tapes?

Back in ’93 or ’94 I met a guy who had attended Wesleyan and was a big fan. He gave me copies of HOIYS and KTH, and I played them raw. I lost touch with him after moving to Chicago and now Oregon.

A few nights back, my wife was commenting on how she preferred the Primus version of Devil Went Down to Georgia. I told her my favorite version was by a band called Lizards from Afar. I then tried to explain the musical brilliance that is Dead Linus. By the blank stare, I surmise I failed. Now I can let the music do the talking. Thanks for putting this up.

It actually makes me wonder why I never thought of doing any of this before…

i’m more than a bit amazed that my message to Carm at Strawdog inspired all this.
talk about a butterfly flapping its wings.
cool.
