Track 3 - Gone Fishin' with Andy
Artist picture
The 15th anniversary internet only reissue of "Gone Fishin with Andy" includes all of the tracks from the original cassette only (approximately 100 made and distributed) album issued in 1994 by Andy Turits who then became "the artist currently known as &y" and is now planet andy. Also included here are 3 previously unreleased bonus tracks and 2 previously unreleased music videos. The original cassette art was designed by Lyndon Lorenz. We bought a couple of fish from the seafood store and Lyndon shot a roll of film out on the fire escape of our building in Hoboken, NJ. David Decampo provided the archived digital master of "People Who Think (version 1)". Michael Thomson helped me rescue the live from the Snowgoose tracks included here as well as my entire set performed that day which was originally recorded on a DAT tape.

Story behind the song
Written by the two Johns of They Might Be Giants. This enterprising duo have made their career on catchy melodies and idiosyncratically smart lyrics. From Falnsburgh and Linnel I've learned that rhyming is not a requirement. When "Gone Fishin'" was originally released I was able to get a copy to them through industry channels so to the best of my knowledge they were made aware of this version. My appologies to them for errors I made in verbal recognition. A song I wish I wrote but I didn't so I covered it.
