Welcome to the 59 Donuts Media Download Section (aka THE SOUNDS!)

Becoming a Bitch - from the first and one of the best 59 Donuts shows - the Spiral on March 1,                                 1998.  A day in history!  This is one of the best versions of the song ever!  It                                 features one of Keith's coolest solos, a long, amazing harmonica solo, and even                                 a solo from Henry!  It's medlied with "Hang on Sloopy" and "Summer Lovin'"                                 (from Grease).

Science Class        - this version (live at the Spiral on April 19, 1998) features plenty of wah-wah                                  from Keith.  It is 59 Donuts' ska song, and has become a cult favourite                                  among fans.  Listen for the rockin' bass line.

Phone Girl             - one of 59 Donuts' best known numbers, it was the first song they played live                                  together.  And that version is presented here, with an intro from the 4/19/98                                  show.  In the recording here there's a skip towards the beginning...sorry.

Karl's Untitled      - this song's name has yet to be revealed by Karl.  So far it has gone under the                                  working titles of "Beans", "Drugs", and "Ecstasy".  It has been called Tom                                  Petty-ish by fans, though Karl denies any similarities.  What's so cool about                                  this recording?  Karl plays guitar while Henry whacks out funky bass lines!

All My Loving      - another rare opportunity!  For one, you get to hear Karl and Henry switch                                  places yet again, plus you get to hear 59 Donuts butcher a Beatles                                  classic!  Just kidding, it's not that bad....listen for the very touching intro.  We                                  spread the news of Linda's death to about 15 people who didn't know.  Hear                                  Karl mimic the guitar solo perfectly and play a G+ which most people don't                                  even know exists.  From the Spiral, 4/19/98.

I'm a Believer       - hear 59 Donuts cover the Monkees!  Keith sings this one!  He also does a                                  great Keith-solo, while Karl plays the solo from the record on the bass.                                 When 59 Donuts played this song at CBGB's no one remembered the words.

Nice Guys             - the forgotten Donuts song!  Played once at the first show and then never                                  played again.  Who knows if it'll one day return to the repitoire.

Stupid in Love      - I know what you're saying: "that doesn't make any grammatical sense!"  This is                                 a very rockin' song, coupled very nice with "I Don't Want to See You Around"
                                292 KB

Reggae Dancing with James Poon - this song became an instant Donuts classic when it was                                                             introduced to the repitoire.  It features many Keith                                                             solos.  Don't be fooled - it's not a reggae song, it's a rock                                                             song.

I Don't Want to See You Around   - 59 Donuts' punk song.  A oldie from Joe's younger days,                                                             this song stands out as a fast rock number, regardless of its                                                             brevity.  This version is live from the Spiral, April 19, 1998.

Waiting for Your Call                      - Keith's pop song that's been around from the beginning.                                                             Live from the Spiral 4/19/98.  Listen for Karl's "SOLO!!"                                                             that made Keith (and the band) crack up and almost screw                                                             up the solo.  And listen for Joe who does a lot of the vocals                                                             in this version along with Keith.
