Well, what should have taken 2-3 hours transferring my recs turned into a 9 hour ordeal last night, as one of my record shelves (severely damaged by the Russian movers I hired in Brooklyn almost 3 years ago), came a part a broke, so my friend and I were up all night trying to cobble some semblance of a shelf.

It always gets me that Frankie Teardrop and State Trooper are both obviously influenced by Dylan's Ballad of Hollis Brown. Oh, hello!

Oh man, I love this song so much. The sentiment is so patronizing but I still love this song. This version, the King's version and Nick's version.
