TODAY WAS DIFFERENT

Release Date: December 15th, 1997

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THIS ALBUM:

​

I have two vivid memories of making this record;

One is me, slowly dragging a huge iron boat anchor across the driveway outside to get a sound effect for one of the songs.

Two, is of the studio toilet, which only flushed sometimes.

​
