Notes
Five songs about attempting to postpone the kind of death that takes you long before your body gives out, the reprisals of the past which occur when one reprises the past, witnessing the rampant spread of an invasive species of concrete, and realizing that while the human heart does indeed have four chambers, it's not spacious enough to live in. Or, more succinctly: birds, wolves, and death y'all.
Recorded by Eric Shapiro and the Sad Bastard Book Club.
