Worst part of the album so far.

Vaguely Rolling Stonesy tempo.

Track 7 - Saturday.

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]."

I like that song.

What, the full 1 hour+ version?

Oh. I'm only familiar with the "single" version. I remember hearing it in the early 90s and have watched it on YouTube a handful of times over the years.

That track was very skippable.

Sounds like that song by The Flaming Lips.

Good grief, I thought he was going to start singing "You Are So Beautiful" for a second there.

Saturday

Knights in White Satin. Or is it Nights? I can't rememberer any more. Or maybe it's just the same bit O'bark?

Nice arpeggio.

I wish he had.

This is the best track since the first one.

I'm still shocked by how listenable this album is on the whole.

Generic-but-pleasant production.

Track 8 - Cow.

He's no Whigfield.

Getting very Neil Youngy.

Track something Cow

Long song alert.

Accordian.
