ALBUM: KEROSENE HAT
SONG: EUROTRASH GIRL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 1994
STATUS: ACQUIRED
One of the first CD's I ever bought was Cracker's Kerosene Hat. When I put it in the CD player it registered 99 tracks. I assumed because Cracker was a little alternative band that didn't get much air play (at that time) that their recording studio didn't have the technology to set the number of tracks properly. In retrospect this was pretty stupid, but it was the mid 90's. When it came to technology we were only one step ahead of the monkey in front of the obelisk. Then one day out of curiosity I skipped ahead to track 99 to find an outtake from their recording, and that's when I realized they did it all on purpose. Hidden tracks are so 90's.
I never listened to the tracks between between Looser and that outtake until one day I came back into the room after leaving the CD player on to hear "Eurotrash Girl" playing. I loved the song, and it kept getting better and better, especially after I spent sometime bumming around Europe.
There where two other hidden tracks on that album, "Hi-Desert Meth Lab" a sort of sound collage on track 15, and "Take Me (Back) To You" on 88.
