I was planning to record just the one song from the Wrong Ways set, until Lisa pulled out a pair of scissors and said she'd be "playing" them on the next tune. I don't want to say she used them as a percussion instrument because the snipping sound isn't especially "percussive," but she and drummer Peter Kaesburg used them to provide rhythm both going in, coming out, and during the body of the song. It added a pretty cool sound and visual effect to the song, but I couldn't help but wonder at what point she was going to accidentally cut her mic cable.
