Firstly thank you so much I came across this site only the other day and over the moon with the winderful music on it, particularly Our Lawn, which is fantasitic, every last word!
I came across the above track on face book youtube once as an outtake from 11 Tracks and wondered if you were consdering producing this for the site, as the quality of the material here is so good.
Just a thought and thanks again Mark R
Lies I can believe is a fave of mine as well, probably the best of the 11 tracks of whack outtakes on that outtakes album.
To The Good folks at Beckerdom: I've been meaning to write again for a couple of months now to also suggest/request an 'improved fidelity' version of 'Lies I Can Believe', as at my house it's yet another (nearly) lost classic of Walter's - great lyrics, great melody, with the ever-unique Becker 'tude on display across-the-proverbial-(sound)board. I was so taken wth the melody that a number of years ago I wrote a piece of my own with a similar melodic structure -- sort of akin to The Police doing 'So Lonely' in the wake of 'No Woman No Cry' -- and to this day, I still hum 'Lies I Can Believe' to myself every few weeks or so. Thanks in advance for being influenced and moved-to-action by the mere suggestion, my personal thus far unreleased homage/plagarism exercise notwithstanding.

thank you very much appreciated. MarkR
Good question. The answer is yes. Both d-Mod and I agree that Lies I Can Believe—which is referred to both in Walter's notes and in the copyright information as filed as "Love in the 4th"—is one of the better outtakes from the 11 Tracks of Whack era. We will certainly be sharing it at some point in the future. It is a song that we have to be careful with, though, because it was recorded multiple times in wildly different settings, and merits some serious understanding on our parts before we set it free to flap its wings and potentially fly. But rest assured that the reason you haven't seen it here yet is precisely because we agree with you that it should be out there, and we want to make sure we've done our due diligence in service of the song so that you have tohe proper context—and best chance—to enjoy it further once you have access to it.
