  the initial friend e.p. was the first release put out by los angelesâbased rock band rilo kiley. it was initially a self-titled release that was put out by the band independently in 1999. they re-pressed it with altered artwork and track-listing in 2000, and then did the same thing again for a third pressing in 2001. all three releases commonly sell on ebay for between $250â400 and are fairly rare. "frug" and "85" were included in the soundtrack to the christina ricci film desert blue, which led to the band's heightened popularity and eventual signing to a record label. "frug" was later included as the final song on the band's b-sides and rarities compilation, rkives. ==track listing== ===first pressing (self-titled)=== # "frug" # "85" # "glendora" # "papillon" # "teenage love song" # "asshole" # "sword" # "steve" ::hidden track (untitled) *the untitled hidden track on this release is perhaps rilo kiley's most sought after song. it is often referred to by fans as "keep it together" or "rained the day" (see lyric samples). the song "steve" was also not included on subsequent recordings. it is a very quiet song about singer blake sennett's desire to kill his mother's boyfriend. ===second pressing (self-titled)=== # "frug" # "papillon" # "always" # "85" # "glendora" # "teenage love song" # "sword" # "asshole" # "gravity" ::hidden tracks: "troubadors / annoying noise of death" *on this release a keyboard solo has been removed from "teenage love song". the final hidden track clocks in at almost 22 minutes. at around 3 minutes and 12 seconds the song "troubadors" starts and upon its completion there is a continuous beeping sound. this ends at 19 minutes and thirty-four seconds and then an answering machine message plays. a conversation ensues with lead singer jenny lewis telling someone named deborah to pick her up and take her to some sort of event she seemingly doesn't want to attend. th
