My opus. By far the longest song I've ever recorded. I tried to make it shorter, but it just didn't work. Sorry. :) "The Water-Carver" uses a sample from Stereolab's "Changer." (Gane/Sadier)

Sentiments I think most of us feel at one time or another.

I'm really not this bleak... I was just looking for an excuse to use that VU/JAMC/The National drumbeat!

Many of the most harmful things seem small and/or innocuous.

I have a love for solid, well-crafted love songs. Unfortunately, that's not what you're going to get here!

Daft Punk and Wire hire Le Tigre for an homage to Bert Convy. And the password IS 'raincoat.'

An older song that was originally inspired by Prefab Sprout's "Goodbye Lucille #1 (aka 'Johnny Johnny')" but has morphed into it's current state that's more influenced by Suicide and House of Love.
