  1. Convicted
    Words and music: Ben Shepherd

17-song compilation to benefit NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). High Times reports: "Thrash-punk drums, bass and guitars set the pace as Shepherd, playing guitar, sings: 'Angry and confused, that's what I'm accused of/It's my contradiction, I am convicted.'" NORML says that "It's 70 seconds of pure ambivalence." This track features new bassist Alan Davis.
