What was "Albuquerque" supposed to be a style parody of? One of my friends says it's based on some old Iggy Pop thing...

I don't know, it sounds like a lot of things to me, pretty generic really. It's sort of reminiscent of Tonio K & the "Happy Birthday" feel.

Was Albuquerque recorded in a single cut?

Did the band play the instrumentals?

Was it rehearsed a lot?

Yes, but we did go back and fix a few things.

I don't know what you mean by "play the instrumentals"... we play everything.

Not really, there are only a few different parts for us.

Try giving the song "Dick's Automotive" by the Rugburns a listen.

And no, I don't know where you can find it. :razz:
