We Were LIVE Before the Ship Even Sank
Live compilation of songs from the album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Compiled and edited by Matt Pruitt AKA MajinTrunkz

Individual Track Sources > Foobar2000 v.0.9.5.3 > WAV > Audacity 1.3.5 > Flac
In Audacity, I put the tracks in order and edited crowd noise in between tracks so the flow from one song to the next would be better.

Tracks:
01. King Rat
02. Dashboard
03. Fire it Up
04. Florida
05. Parting of the Sensory
06. Missed the Boat
07. We've Got Everything
08. Fly Trapped in a Jar
09. Education
10. Little Motel
11. Spitting Venom
12. People as Places as People
13. Invisible

Note: The songs "March into the Sea" and "Steam Engenious" from the album are not known to have been played live,
and thus are not included on this compilation. In place of "March into the Sea," I've put "King Rat," a b-side,
as the first track. I think it fits well there, and if you disagree, you could just get rid of it.

Thanks a lot to all the individual tapers whose recordings I've used for this, and I hope you enjoy it.
