I don't.

You're not everyone else.

Track 5 - Spirit Ditch.

Back in cheery mode.

Spirit Ditch

"I want my records back"

Good grief.

Quote :

in a 2006 interview, [Linkous] singled out a recording of Waits singing Gavin Bryars' "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet" as the one song that "sort of saved me when I had given up [making music]."

The songs are relatively normal length but for some reason are going through really quickly, even the longer ones.

Good grief.

Quote :

The lyrics for "Spirit Ditch" include the line "horse-laughter is dragging pianos to the ocean", which was inspired by a scene from the Luis Buñuel film Un chien andalou.

Woman talking.

After the Goldrush reference?

Track 6 - Tears on Fresh Fruit.

Oh I see what Nightjar was getting at - the lead singer is no longer with us.

Livelier.

Tears On Fresh Fruit

Harsh guitars.

Harsh vocals.
