Besides track 1 (The People Here Are Not Shy) *just about* builds to
orgasm, Brucey.   It's that cool.

I could see that song going the psychedelic route.   I've never
personally seen it performed live to the point that it really went
anywhere interesting.

Better than the one they've *been* opening with.   'All I Need...' or
something.   You know, the one that starts 'The paint dries..blahblah'

I'd verify that, but I've already listened to GDBD once for the second
half of 1998.   Can't overflow that quota, ya know.

I wasn't challenging the *concept* of the slow->rockin' segue, just
your particular choices.

I've seen that movie, too, Seamus.  Without the strings, that version
would fall apart.

Haven't heard that one for a while.   'I Will Remember' either.
Obviously, 'Moth', 'Anyway', and 'Tumbleweeds' are the winners in the
latest new batch.  According to the band, that is.
