From G.C. Green's Instagram page: "My handwritten list of songs that were programmed on our Alesis HR16 drum machine that would be used at gigs. Next to the song title is the programme number, and the numbers on the right is the bpm of each track, which had to be selected too. What’s interesting about this is it shows the order in which the songs were written, including songs for the never released Tiny Tears ep. Clearly Head Dirt was the first song written for Streetcleaner. Why there is no song 13 I’ve no idea..maybe we were superstitious? The HR16 blew up on our first tour of the US, and was replaced with the newer SR16."
