“Good Morning, Captain” by Slint.  
Instrumentally - a _very_ finely crafted tune, almost (dare I say) it has a silken, sensual feel to it, (wow - a song that would actually make me un-ironically say those kinda words!), the way it stealthily snakes along.  
Wish I could make sense of what buddy’s talking about, though.  
Manoman wish I could’ve seen these knuckleheads live.
