Wow.  Another great track.  I need to listen to this a few dozen more
times, but my first thoughts are: this is really nice.  I'd probably
tighten up the vocals, but then again it's obvious you were after that
particular sound.

The end is great, from the break.  I love it.

Again it reminds me of the pixies, with some little bits of (sorry)
status quo ;)


I got very excited when I noticed that you had something else for us
to listen to, and I wasn't disappointed.
