You can’t change, you’re crazy

One caveat: the official title of this tune is “You Can’t Change.”

For years this has been my favorite song of all time and I must have already known that they got this unbelievable recording on the first take but I guess I forgot until I saw a tweet just now that reminded me. RIP Steve Albini and also goat Jason Molina 🦉

I need to let you know I will never get tired of this album. 

It was only later I understood that it was David Berman (not the Pavement dudes) that was the talent behind this outfit. Not that this tongue-in-check press release helped illuminate things for me. But I really enjoyed the comic on the back by one “DC Berman.” Hmm…
