About:	When I was in high school, I had a band-crush on these guys from afar. Around the Cat (In 80 Days), in its celebration of the fact that it was recorded on a four track by a bunch of geeky guys, represented so much of what I wanted to try to do with music at the time (and still today). It is smart, deeply referential, equally childish and cerebral, and snarky as hell. The four members of the Cyanide Tamales were some of the smartest “older kids” I met in school (they were all a few years older). I believe more than one was in the top 10 of their graduating class. It seemed to me like they didn’t care about being cool (’cause they really weren’t–look no further than the “mathletics” reference for evidence of this). And that to me, someone who was trying desperately to be cool, was so cool. Please enjoy one of the greatest things Yardley, Pennsylvania has ever produced (including what’s-her-name from Annie).

Notes:	This is a remixed version of the original cassette. We assume Josh did that. We are waiting for notes from Josh on the band and the album. When we get them, we will incorporate them herein. We are also considering releasing a very non-remixed version of the album as recorded directly from one of the original cassette releases (this is also where all the images come from).
