Wonder if you know, what you see ain't what you get. Wonder have you learned a dirty word - did you forget? 'Cause
there's talk on the street... say sugar taste sweet... but it'll tear you apart... when what's easy on the eyes... is hard on the
heart... when you're loving ...loving on them buzzards. See the shiny-winged angel things catch your eye in the big parade.
You think you got it made. It's all monkey see, monkey do, but in the end the joke's on you. It ain't nothing but a big
charade. Watch the money talk... see the suckers walk... feel the lonely ache... take its toll, soul-sucking pain, yeah.
Everybody knows... that's just how it goes... when you're loving, loving on them buzzards. Funny how you feel, like a thing is
real, just 'cause it feels good - You know what I'm saying? Yeah yeah. Funny how you run straight for the gun when you
know when the fun is done ain't nothing but hell to pay. See the face in the mirror, it looks alone and afraid. Well, if
you think you a player, most times it's you that's getting played by them buzzards buzzards buzzards buzzards, them
buzzards of love.

!I think that sax is in pain
Pretty intense tune. I like its ratty texture.
I thoroughly enjoyed that piece
I don't want any more of the Kool-Aid - it's killing my ears.
The thrill is gone with Jim White.

Come on, King, look it up. Anyhow, if you have followed The Beatles, you should know the origin of DCFC's name.
WATZA SUBSTRATE? Does it have something to do with hydrofracking? A financial gimmick? A new demographic?
These esoteric band names and song and album titles can be a tad pretentious. I like the music of Death Cab for Cutie — but what the fuck does the band name actually mean? How about Pearl Jam? Is there something we should know?
The Beatles. Yeah, I get it, pithy and genius
Led Zeppelin. Nicely allusive.
Grateful Dead. Ironic.
Rolling Stones. Gathering no moss, following no rules, just making lots of girls and money. Far out.

Hoo boy, no kidding. He gave a talk at the Center for the South at UNC so I went along to see what he had to say. It was a remarkable experience, to say the least. He's one of my favorite Southern characters, right up there with Harry Crews.
Crews makes a short appearance in Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, a sort of documentary/music video that White sort of leads/narrates...fascinating Southern Gothic strangeness.

Bumpin' this one again...Jim White's got a strange, interesting mind.

Sounds like a bunch of wasted high schoolers with no clue. It's like they swapped instruments or something. "Hey let me try the sax dude,here,play this bass for awhile".
Drummers OK on some riffs though.

"Easy on the eyes but hard on the heart..." << great line even if it is cliched!

Nice, nice, Mr. Goldsmith ... keep them good tunes coming! Thanks! 
Love this song, love this album...Check out the impressionistic documentary that he "guided/narrated": "Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389361/
Hmm, I'm digging this quite a bit.
Love this one. Great tune.
Nice groove and a great album name...
...wow!..
