Contents

Recording

In between the studio recordings on Lovelyville are a great number of lo-fi snippets of what the band calls "Feller filler"—"murkier meanderings recorded in rehearsals on a four-track or boom box." A few bits of Feller filler are lo-fi version of the band's single "2×4s", and the song "Mother Uncle Delicious Tasty" is a sped-up voice speaking over a slowed-down recording of the song "Change Your Mind" from the band's previous album. Also present on the album are snippets of dialogue between Peter J. Haskett and Raymond Huffman from the Shut Up, Little Man! tapes that had been circulating in San Francisco.

Lovelyville also features a cover of "Green-Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf.

All tracks written by Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, except "Green-Eyed Lady" by Jerry Corbetta and Dave Riordan.
