about

The goofy title for this ten song album—which would've been LOD's second solo effort if he had not been waylaid by working on The Fussbudgets' debut—was a surreptitiously overheard quote from one of the many oddball, late-night denizens who frequented a 24-hour Howard Johnson's restaurant in Dean's hometown of Flint, Michigan. An inveterate list-maker, Dean wrote it down in his omnipresent notebook as a possible album title, finding it years later, after his move out west. In some ways it is an appropriate name, as no specific theme seems to unify these songs. Instead, geography provides the inspiration for “Seismograph”: a midwesterner by birth and upbringing, Dean had already grown accustomed to the regularity (and variety) of earthquakes in the Bay Area, but remained fascinated (and wary) of them, while native Californians shrugged them off as readily as Michiganders dismissed yet another tornado or blizzard. The album is rounded out with five bonus tracks from the same time period.
