Pretty much. I do like A Tree With Roots, but it's one of the few things I do prefer playing on shuffle rather than full sequence, because sometimes I'm just not in the mood for 10 sequential takes of Quin the Mighty Eskimo.

 

Also, that's one of my favorite versions of "Box Full of Letters" that you posted. Jeff was off his nut. "He had a black eye...from stage diving!!." "Yeah, that's a long solo, Jay...we're gonna be here a while..."

6. Silver Jews - The Farmer's Hotel.

 

And yet, not that far off.

[Calexico]

And yet, not that far off.

 

There's no natural law

That can explain what I saw

Spread out on that straw-covered floor.

 

[Guest Speed Racer]

I love the opening line:

 

The lights went out in New York

Then they went in Goshen

And I got stuck in Goshen

That was sad

 

A friend of mine transferred from my college to Goshen, Indiana, the year that album came out, and I always gave her crap for that. When she finally found out what the song I was quoting was about, she was miffed to say the least.

I take it you didn't "hit that" then?
