Yeah I prefer the piano to whatever thing they're doing on the studio version. It still doesn't vault "Like Spinning Plates" into greatness for me, but the song has its little charms. In terms of those "unfinished sketches" I spoke of it's definitely one of the better ones.

The Bends is probably my favorite album, period.

Great now I want sandwiches.

No those are Talking Heads fans.

Dawes is All Your Favorite Bands.

How Andy Warhol Invented Art
