Mark Rubin says:
"All I can tell you friends is that should you ever find yourself on a Wednesday night down Austin Texas way, just south of the River on Barton Springs Rd., look for us on the marquee of Flipnotics. We'll be the folks having fun in the corner. Drop on in and say howdy."

Listen!
"Lo mir Freilachsein" is a Dave Tarras tune learned from a $4.99 Lazer Light CD ("Mazel Tov!") purchased at the Truckstops of America in E. St.Louis, IL. Changed my life.
Listen!
"Bergovsky's Famous #77" is taken from Soviet era ethomusicologist Moishe Beregovsky's fieldwork. Prettiest damn tune.
