Notes
Recorded in 1992, the title cut was inspired by Baby Gramps' song "Palindromes, Palindromes, Where Do You Roam". UFO-tofu is a tune that has sections that are played forward and backwards in various combinations, making musical palindromes. Sex in a Pan was written by Victor and named by Howard after a dessert that was fed to the guys in North Carolina. Victor dedicated the tune to James Brown.

Scuttlebutt is a tune that Béla wrote at his final gig with New Grass Revival, opening up for the Grateful Dead on New Years Eve 1989. Bonnie and Slyde came out of a tour of Europe where the Flecktones opened up for Bonnie Raitt. At the end of the tour she gave Béla her slide. Once again the audience named this tune. Life Without Elvis was written for a claymation TV pilot called The Adventures of Kayto which never came out. This is the last album to feature Howard Levy as a full time collaborator.
