Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Wharf Rat

Mile High Stadium

Excellent, thick and elegiac sleeper version. Heroically mournful, like a just exactly perfect comes a time or china doll, inevitably brings so much pathos but also suggests an uplifting aftertaste, the sensation of catharsis in some sort of antagonizing conflict of an internal human motion. Clarion keys hot phil and tunnel vision for the gold. Sick dark star quote, pixie dusting a beautiful version

heavy, refined!! Makes you feel on the other end of auditing with some loan shark sleazeball but its also the new age incense and shawl shop
