* Some background: in 2008, after studying Television's "Marquee Moon"
LP for year, Amps Do Furnish Room began casting about for suitable
follow-up.

Our first choice, The Byrds' "Notorious Byrd Brothers", just didn't
work out.   After four months of learning more than half the record in
great detail we felt the result, while sounding very accurate, just
didn't roar sufficiently to warrant playing live unless we were very
unfaithful to the material (ie - we didn't want to subject our
audience to a set where each song sounds like Husker Du covering
"Eight Miles High" on a bad night ).  To be fair to the Byrds, Marquee
Moon and NBB are arguably very different from an aesthetic standpoint.
 We make no claim as to which is the superior work;  what we do know
for certain is that after playing Marquee Moon live, NBB seemed to
lack...oh, I dunno, what's the word.... voltage?

So, we shelved the Byrds, and started fooling around with obscure
garage / early psychedelic rock gems from the mid 60s, with an ear for
the stuff that might have inspired young outsiders a decade later to
plug in and bootstrap what was to become the punk movement...

To that end, since last summer each member of Amps has been selecting
one proto-Iggy / proto-Television / proto-whatever song from the
mid-60s to study in minute detail, for a total of four songs for the
band to study.  When we felt sufficiently comfortable with these four,
we'd select another four...

We've now done this four times -- hence the 16 songs you see listed above.
