"You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you... but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I'm not changing. I like... I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get." - Del (John Candy), "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"

Push Gently is the first LP from The Paris Buns. All instruments and vocals were recorded and mixed by Will Sisskind.

All tracks were produced on a 9-year-old MacBook Pro with a cracked screen and a dead battery, using Reason 6 with the default plugins. A basic Snowball mic captured the vocals. A 1/4"-to-1/8" jack captured the guitar and bass. The computer played the drums.

Becca Griffing is The Other Bun, for all those wondering, and she will remain in that role no matter how far across this wide Earth the Buns travel or how numerous their ranks do multiply.

A hearty thanks and apology to Andrew Hicks for foot percussion on "Hateful Heartbeat", a political song recorded at Treehouse Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY. That song will appear in one form or another on some release, I promise you; its time will come again.

And more hosannas to Rory Sullivan, who told me to go to an open mic and sing the damn songs already.

Much love granted forth to the people who showed up. I have nothing to give you but my gratitude and stumbled-over words of appreciation.
