V02-T15 Feelin' Existential

.....The rhythm guitar introduction on this track, although at a slower tempo, felt like it fit comfortably after the previous track. It also serves to take the listener back down to their baseline standing pulse rate.

Volume 2: "WE'RE ALL GOING TO JAIL FOR THIS, AREN'T WE?", track 15

• 02:53 "FEELIN' EXISTENTIAL" (Mojo Nixon)
• performed by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper
• original source: LP FRENZY Restless/Enigma 72127-1 (US) 1986
• and my source: CD FRENZY/GET OUT OF MY WAY! Restless 72127-2 (US) 1987

.....The CD, in case you're wondering, has a different title because an EP had been added as bonus tracks.

.....The liner notes I wrote in 1993 are still relevant, as far as I can see, so I may just rely on them here:

....."From the man who told us that 'Elvis Is Everywhere'. This is from the previous (second) album, coupled with an EP on disc. This is considerably less manic than most of his stuff, which sounds like Ernest T. Bass (an old Andy Griffith Show character) turning into a drunken, menacing street preacher. On this same album, for example, there's an excellent rant entitled 'Jesus At McDonald's' ".

.....Tomorrow, Volume 2 concludes and I once again turn to the original liner notes. A bit more of them, actually.
