* I'd have to buy a cassette player to digitize the first one I have an imperfect setup for digitizing cassettes (the only format Door #3 was released in), but it works.
** Many thanks to Jason DuFair for finding his copy of this cassette and digitizing it.
Josette
Oh, wow. I am grabbing these post-haste.
Jason Dufair
I actually started digitizing the first one a few weeks ago (and the pro-choice cassingle). Need to finish.
Leilah
Oooh! Thank you, I was just thinking about them today. =)
Adam F.
You are SO going on my Christmas list. I'm incapable of thanking you enough! *happydance*
joel

Michelle Mickelsen
So how do I get a CD of Fisheye Frenzy? My son grew up to me singing songs from that CD, well cassette.
Audacious Mongrel
Can't believe I found this. I remember some friends of my introducing me to this back in high-school. Started thinking about it today and thought I would do a search for it.
Carrie Freeland
THANKS!!!!! This is awesome...

A long time ago, I had a casette singlefrom the band with the song 'Unwed Fathers' (by John Prine)on it. It was a STUNNING a capella arrangement of the song.
I really don't know anything else about the band.. but I'd REALLY love to get a copy if anyone has one!
Bertrand Clarke
I was at Purdue from 1989 to 1002 and heard them in concert...absolutely brilliant work. One thing I was looking for was a song they did live but maybe they didn't record it? It was called Cardinal O'Connor and featured some wonderful turns of phrase. Anyone have any idea where I could get a copy? It wasn't on any of their albums.

You are amazing this is my moms favorite band, and I'm going to make her week (she hasn't had the cassette since 2005 when she lost it in a car accident). Fisheye frenzys songs are my childhood bedtime songs especially coin op and walt. Thank you sooooooo much!

Hi josette! Those were good dancing memories.

Hi! Love this stuff! Saw the Icemakers several times, along with the Dorkestra and Carrie Newcomer. Cataloguing my collection, and was wondering if you have any idea on release dates for these (month and year is sufficient). Just thought I'd ask.
