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

Deep stormy spirals, this one has that chaotically unhinged mid-80's sound in spades. Disney villain jort shorts yelp production number tenacity with sleazy menthol and a double johnnie walker clouds of hazy passion.

slinky but it gets the job done. Mall of america levels of emphatic sheen on this mothership two-keyboard set

Serious midnight hour theatrics into this cresting soaring tornado of an Ivy league autobahn bertha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAKxhR9_3fw seamons mtx slaps

Ah the welnik years... edge of the cliff still lifes. Cruising altitude of street corner smokin. Surahs of glintingly salted wound fractures of unselved memory so as to be taken from recitation of the Qu'ran. Or was it just a folk musician from the bay area who broke on through? Hornsby woodshedding on this one puts the whole cast up to new stories, transcendence and Enya meets Shania Twain plinky plonky take this one to type 2. Just as nice as 6/17/91 or 6/11/93, restored to a glorious utopian stillness of icy arrhythmias or was it just a robin's tone widening and diminishing. Raise it up for a fun injection of pastoral hobbit jumpies
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

gorgeously swimming through adriatic unpaid vacation, blowing off taxpeople with methodical disarray. Portrays dylan's frantic typewriter melee of dolce vita with cargo shorts sandals and an ipa 90s vibe. Accordion and jerry soars
