Mike Blur's incredibly detailed Lawrence, KS "scene" page includes numerous links for many, many bands. His Embarrassment page:

http://cypress.idir.net/~mikeblur/bands/embos.html

Contains the song "Two Cars" in .WAV file format, with instructions for playing it if your browser doesn't have direct support.

Mike sez:

"It's an excellent recording taken from the 12-31-86 reunion show at Cogburns in Lawrence. It's on my bands/embarassment web page. the page also has a well-known and recognized promo pic. Try the sound file out--whether you can play it or not, let me know."
