You'll learn gypsy march songs like "Don't Drink Poison" and "Up in Hell". You'll learn to speak Russian with Natasha on "Nevada" [sic]. You'll develop a taste for crack, sweet crack, on "Polly Wants a Crack Rock" with Nick Eldorado by your side. Or just kick it with your bros and Lanegan by "The Hangin Tree." Yes, this genreless musical landscape is so easy to use you'd be a fucking asshole not to enroll." - Rekords Rekords
