Sukierae Outtakes

+ Chit-Chat Check-In #99: I've Got 99 Chit-Chats and You Know the Rest

Transcript

Hello, this is your Captain speaking. This is the 99th Chit-Chat Check-In, which means we are approaching the 100th Chit-Chat Check-In, because that’s how numbers work. I personally think the number 99 is cooler than 100.

Speaking of anniversaries, Spencer made a post a week or so ago about the 10-year anniversary of Sukierae. It’s a lovely, lovely post. We also collected some alternate versions and early takes from Sukierae, which I’m including below the paywall here. There’s an early phone demo of “Honey Combed,” the original cassette demo of “I’ll Sing It,” an early mix of “Low Key,” and a bonus track, “Do the Minimum,” which so far has only been released as the B-side on the “Summer Noon” 7-inch. Lots of stuff.

It’s a high-stakes time. I certainly want to send our thoughts to all of the people on the Starship Casual who might be struggling with hurricanes and mudslides and chaos, and feeling a little bit overwhelmed by the overall atmosphere. We are here for you in the small way that we are able to be here for you, and all I can say is that I hope that this is a space you can come to for a little distraction and comfort. I hope it helps.

Alright. Love you. Carry on.
