listening to my fave record ever right now. I don't do it that often.
on topic: this record is OBVIOUSLY about the change that parenthood brought in Kim and Thurston's life. It is so obvious.
Especially Diamonf Sea, Panty lies, little trouble girl (becoming a parent yourself makes you think about what kind of child you were and what the relationship between you and yr parents was about), washing machine (Here's a quarter go put it in the washing machine).
Again it is very safe to assume that the whole washing machine is to be taken literally AND as a figure of speech also. When you become a parent, yr washing machine is yr best ally and then at the same time your whole life feels as though you're startinga brand new life altogether. It cleans some of the deepest wounds and makes you focus a whole lot more.
I could relate to the music for a good twelve years and then it hit me YET AGAIN BUT EVEN HARDER when i became a father.
I wrote a song called "BOY" that really is very akin to a mix of Diamond Sea and Snare girl which are like part1 and 2 of the same song.
Nobody gets to contradict me on this one as i'm IN THE KNOW.
i'm not even talking about the bluesy feeling og the whole LP that anyone can hear (gtrs) >>>> post-delivery blues or baby blues as they call it.
Aside from that, lots of other themes are developed on this one LP (Skip tracer or Junkie's promise>>>Kurdt / multimillion dolar lawsuit blah)
