Bill Callahan, born in Silver Spring, Maryland. Callahan pioneered the lo-figenre of underground rock, with homemade tape-albums recorded on four track tape recorders. Later he signed a record contract with the label drag city. Callahan started out as a highly experimentalartist, utilizing sub-standard instruments and recording equipment. His reason for using the lo-fi approach was not so much an aesthetic choice, rather it came from his lack of knowledge of recording studios, and fear of giving up control to professional engineers.

A Jar Of Sand Lyrics
Smog
I heard the treasure lay beneath the sounds of your (little lake?) (brittle bay?)
When I left the shore that day it looked like the moon
And the deck on the seas on the storming seas
I can see the southern cross, the southern cross
Tide pools big enough
Tide pools just deep enough to drown in
Lots of drowning girls little hands dived for pearls
To wear in your wedding ring
I know, I know what's buried under the sands
Of your (little lake)
Tide pools big enough to drown in
Tide pools just deep enough to drown in
I gave you a jar of sand from the coast
I gave you a jar of sand from the coast
I gave you a jar of sand from the coast
