Spent — Excuse Me While I Drink Myself to Death From Songs of Drinking and Rebellion ( Merge ; 1995) I wouldn't call it church / The way these spirits work
This is currently the go-to soundtrack to our efforts to get our baby girl to go to sleep and stay asleep. A sad by-product is the fact that we are starting to get sick of a lot of these songs, some of which have been favorites forever and ever (we first got The Glove record around 1989 or 1990, for example). That said, we still find almost all of these to this day to be very moving in their way whenever we stop and sit and listen to them go by on the IPod docked in the nursery. [...]
On Tuesday, I made my final visit to the hospital for my last round of rabies shots (background here ; to read me kvetching to my local paper, go here ). There were 8 people in the ER's waiting room - three-quarters of them were wearing masks due to suspected swine flu. The remaining quarter was made up of myself and a fellow who had cut up his pinky finger so bad that - in his words - "the fat was coming out". I can't tell you how happy I am that I don't have to [...]

The label has been offering the title track and the tune "It Hurts Me All The Time" as free downloads for weeks -- if not longer -- and the tracks have finally made their way to the top of the running [...]
Damn that i-Sore Records 5" record-of-the-month club. Paid for 12, only received the first 2. Still, it gave me the only pair of mega-wee records to be found in the whole damn discography. Lambchop rocks it a bit more than usual and to good effect, and Spent drops a peppy little indie popper. Side A mp3: Lambchop - Scared Out Of My Shoes Side B mp3: Spent - DressDownDay
