Lobster Quadrille and Alternate Learning were two of Scott’s earliest bands. Lobster Quadrille never released any albums, although they did record several songs, including “Christmas Moog.” Alternate Learning lasted from 1979-1981, and self-released two recordings: the ALRN 7″ EP (1979) and an album called Painted Windows (1981). These are so rare they make Lolita Nation look like Thriller by comparison. Former Game Theory, Loud Family and Thin White Rope member Joe Becker played drums in the first lineup of Alternate Learning; none of the other members (Kern Scott Gallawa, Carolyn O’Rourke, Byl Miller and Eric Landers) have gone onto fame and fortune, though O’Rourke and Landers did play in a band called Fifteen Minutes with future Dream Syndicate leader (and Scott Miller college buddy) Steve Wynn.
