"i feel insane when you get in my bed"

and i think about you and i turn blue

dragging my dirty shoes

Cindy skips my trampoline and then i lose

and thats what i think about when i hear the Silver Jews

Tiny bit underwhelmed by this on first couple goes, but feels like a grower and there are some really great tunes for sure. “People”’s bassline rules.

Aight, will have to check that one out (was probably going to check more of the discog anyways given how strong this is)

First three are all consistent - fourth sees a tiny drop in quality and haven't explored beyond that

Album Rating: 4.0

Listening to this and 'Bridge' back to back I find that even though this album is a little more diverse I find 'Bridge' just zones in on what works best a bit more

California overboard
