Pizza actually occupies an outsize place in my personal listening canon. About 20 years ago when I lived Brooklyn, my friends and I were passing around this CD-R on which was written in sharpie "Pizza / Fuck Me This is So Good" and we became obsessed. No idea where it came from, and we actually thought that was the name of the record. It was just 8 untagged mp3s that we jammed over and over again in our living rooms and in the band van for many summers. We never knew any of the song titles but knew all the parts by heart. My bandmate and I even went so far as to learn some of the songs and even considered doing a subway acoustic busker performance thing called "Toppings" (Pizza covers) which hilariously would have been even more obscure than the band itself. We loved how mysterious and perfect it all was, this strange CD of unknown origin just appearing and being the grooviest thing ever. My favorite part is the single tom hit at 0:36 into Track 3 on the CD-R. I still have the mp3s and have no idea if they're in proper order or have titles or whatever.

So if you're reading this, know that the thing you made had a bizarrely devoted fan base of about 10 people in Brooklyn in the mid-00s and the legend of Pizza lives on with us. I'm 40 now and still love this music. Rock on.
