That is really disappointing IMO


I'd still rather be walking through a pasture and be surprised by an emo boy shaking a box of tic tacs than by a diamondback. Although an emo boy in that setting would be kind of startling too, may have to beat him with a shovel too.

I started listening for the crazy (somewhat depressing) lyrics, but I keep coming back for the cool riffs and tempo shifts. Pure musicality.

I'm not sure that I've heard "Tell me in the morning", but our local FM station here in Portland plays "Hang me up to dry", and that's pretty sweet too!

'Post Modernist Blues'. Finally a name for music like this. I dig it.

In the past 4 years I've known four dads who have died because of alcholism. I can only imagine their kids heard every one of these lies many, many times over...

great song.

Is the shaker in the background supposed to sound like a rattlesnake?

That's what it sounds like to me. Tic-Tac make a more clackety-clack sound. Maybe if they are harmonized up an octave or two...

This must have some sort of relevance to the DJ, cause it sure is not regular RP quality

I enjoyed the quirkiness of this piece probably the first three times I heard it.

The next 100 times? Not so much.
