May 23 - Letter From Belgium

A really gorgeous post-punk sound to this one, and a style of song that has a number of my favourite features of Mountain Goats songs.

I've never done methamphetamine. For so many reasons. One of the more minor ones is that someone once descibed the feeling of it to me as "like you've stayed up until 3AM and burned past the fatigue only that's the best feeling in the world" and I can't actually think of many things I'd like less. Nonetheless the sound of this song is the sound that I imagine from that as an experience: too loud, discordant, constantly almost sweet, someone shouting to me as I try to pay attention.

Let's not chew our tongues off.
