I was so focused on the music that i forgot to metion the packaging
the video that comes with the CD.
The CD has great liner notes by Jeff Martin of the long-running
Portland surf/punk/garage band the Surf Trio. Jeff does an awesome
job putting the band in the historical, cultural and regional
context, and really explaining exactly why the Pilgrims were just so
damn COOL! Art B. also has a short note talking about his history
with the band which is clearly heartfelt and enthusiastic. He's
above all a big fan. Finally, the second CD has a 10-minute (I
think) movie that compiles various camcorder live moments through
the years, as well as their few TV appearances. I think this is the
sort of a thing that most people that had never seen the band will
flip-out over! There are mostly excerpts of different songs, but it
conveys the right idea that these guys were a mighty live act. The
surreal moments come towards the end, with the Pilgrims
performing "Surfin' Bird" on Spanish TV (??!), and then leading into
and coming out of commercials on a men's talk show from Portland -
the host looks clearly a bit uncomfortable and most the audience is
over 50 and kinda perplexed - but it's all a beautiful thing!
