Band Members: HAL DEELEOOLEA - Talented, semi-tourretic, opiate/sex/thrill addict. Hal does pretty good work out at the Lullabelle stables. Specialty: severely inappropriate outbursts. His dramatic interpretation has improved markedly since his stroke. His ambient accompaniments and vocal stylings have been described as uplifting and unsettling. He often cares for the sick, especially the chronic.OTIS FODDER - 2 oranges, 8 whole cloves, 6 cups apple juice, 1 cinnamon stick, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup honey, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 1/4 cups pineapple juice. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stud the whole oranges with cloves, and bake for 30 minutes. In a large saucepan, combine the apple juice and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the nutmeg, honey, lemon juice, and pineapple juice. Serve hot in a punch bowl with the 2 clove-studded baked oranges floating on top.JP FARQUAR - going without food or drink for days, walking through the forest, looking at nothing, trying to catch a scent in the open air Don't make him take off his belt.PRINCESsSENSITIVE - Despotic, this one burns hot, like a snore from a giant's slumbering maw. His personal contrast, and brightness controls were rewired incorrectly, and he shrinks from conversation like a bubble baby from a pair of golf shoes.THE APARTMENT - Sounds like a place to sleep, maybe pay rent, maybe pay an extra $50 a month for covered parking...Manos DE Plata - Strong hands wrapped around goldn throats, coaxing sounds from the constricted airways...

Sounds Like: Smuggling in an inexpensive but honest tape recorder to a walrus party, getting tipsy on breast milk shooters, and being just drunk enough to challenge the biggest bull to a virility dance, then collecting and coaxing, massaging, and finessing the sounds to make musical pastries...
