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

heavy, slow and assumes an earth-shaking intensity with jer's flanger solo, 85 magic

exactly. Chinese water torture headscratcher of a merry prank set 2 opener, the gimme fame commienism of it all is purposely amorally idiosyncratic the way kanye and lennon's outbursts go. This one approaches nirvana levels of distortion, we're not worthy type headi selection. Lennon wrote this while paul wrote hey jude for his kid

classic trouble ahead infusion of sprinkled manic panic over assuming the oceanic 80's arena rock changes with delicate grace. Perfect stuff
