BTW (A Unified Theory of Everything)...

For those that aren't familiar, the title of the last post is cribbed from lyrics in a great 'unreleased' demo from Wilco's 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot':

'Laminated Cat (a.k.a. Not for the Season)'

Springtime comes and the leaves are back on the trees again
Snipers are harder to see my friends
Weeding out the weekends

Summer comes and gravity undoes you
You're happy because of the lovely way the sunshine bends
Hiding from your close friends
Weeding out the weekends

Candy left over from Halloween
A unified theory of everything
Love left over from lovers leaving
Books, they all know they're not worth reading
It's not for the season

When autumn comes you sit in your chair and you stare
At the TV square
Hiding in the deep end
Weeding out the weekends

Winter comes and the days all start late
There's motion on the boughs where the dark shapes prowl
Feeling out the feelings
Feeling out the feeling

Candy left over from Halloween
A unified theory of everything
Love left over from lovers leaving
Books, they all know they're not worth reading
They're not worth reading

Great song. I was listening to said 'YHF' demos yesterday in the car and that tune always reminds me of Autumn...really, the whole album does. Anyhow, enjoy it for yourself in the sample area and don't let the Indian Summerish weather fool you...FALL IS HERE.
