Notes: A few tapes recorded by Art Alexakis
were sold off on an auction site by his first wife, Anita in
the mid 90s. This tape features an acoustic rendition of
the song ‘Static’, and 2 acoustic songs never recorded
in the studio, ‘Come Around’, and ‘Shaking
Brave.’ ‘Come Around’ and ‘Static’ were
played live with the ‘Easy Hoes’ but never officially
recorded by the band.
‘La De Da’ and ‘Mr. Beauregard’ are
two songs written and performed by Karl Maruyama.

‘The Laughing World’ is
mentioned as ‘You Jam You Jet.’ |
Notes: When Shindig Records went bankrupt,
and his first marriage failed, Art went north to Portland, OR
to live with his new girlfriend. Art attempted to keep
Colorfinger together while being away from the band by recording
demos and sending them for the rest of the band to practice. Many
of these songs can be assumed to be jammed around by Colorfinger
at one point or another.
Eric Neves recalls, “I remember Art being up in Portland
we were practicing without him, he was sending the songs to us
on tapes and we were rehearsing them without him, he would come
down once or twice a month.” (30)
This is the only known recording of ‘George Bush Part
1: Living In The Reagan Days’ and ‘Our Weird Year.’
‘You Jam You Jet’ is a working title that would
later be recorded by Everclear as ‘The Laughing World’ and
features slightly different lyrics.
