keep in mind that, skip spence, the man you hear singing and playing guitar on the 2 tracks below, unsuccessfully tried to murder his bandmate with an axe, and was subsequently sent to bellevue and diagnosed with schizophrenia. knowing that definitely colors his request walk down the street naked. actually, and i don't want to ruin a great song here, but the whole thing sounds crazy when you listen to the lyrics knowing the man had schizophrenia. imagine a homeless man walking up to you and making all the requests skip makes. the song appears in two different forms on each of moby grape's first two albums. cat power covered "naked if i want to" on her "covers record" as well.
both tracks are under a minute.

neon blonde "chandeliers and vines" - from the tracks i heard off the forthcoming jaguar love album, and the neon blonde album from a few years ago, maybe it's a good thing that blood brothers broke up. twice as much maybe.
