    "comment": "#363 Favorite Album of All Time - Soul Coughing - Ruby Vroom\n\nThe album was recorded at Sunset Sound Factory in Hollywood, Blake and Froom's usual haunt—a storage room near the studio's lounge was filled with vintage keyboards and road cases filled with toys—whistles, baby rattles, children's toy xylophones.  Many of these ended up in the songs, such as a train whistle played by Doughty on \"Uh, Zoom Zip.\"\n\nThis was in keeping with Tchad Blake's spirit of maverick experimentation, which included sticking a binaural head-shaped microphone in front of Yuval Gabay's drumkit, sticking a mic in a car muffler, called \"the Bone\" and sticking that in the drum booth as well, and having Doughty improvise wild, yelling ad-libs on \"Casiotone Nation,\" singing into a cheap amplification system called an Ahuja that Blake bought in India.  The speaker was essentially a huge bullhorn atop a stick.\n\nThe album's lone guest is Rachel Benbow Murdy, band founder Mike Doughty's ex-girlfriend, who supplies a vocal on \"Janine.\" Doughty had Murdy go out to a payphone in Sheridan Square in New York and sing a rendition of \"Lemon Tree\" with an improvised melody into their answering machine.\n\nRecorded a year before the Ruby sessions, Doughty and bass player Sebastian Steinberg recorded the tune at the avant-garde jazz club The Knitting Factory during the daytime, when the club was closed, with club soundperson James McLean. McLean put a mic on the answering machine, which Doughty had brought to the session. https://tinyurl.com/mwteec4p",
