WFMU's Beware of Blog has mp3 rips of this album.

Almost 10 years ago I was working as a bill collector in a small town, and the company accountant was this very provincial woman, a Jehovah's Witness, who had been born in the town and very rarely ventured out of it, and not far, at that. She was convinced that "aliens" were actually demons. I threw a monkey wrench into her assumptions when I asked her, "How do you know they're not angels? They come from the sky." She had no better justification for her convictions other than that she was scared of them.

But then again, this was the same woman who, upon learning I was Jewish, wanted to know where my curly locks and facility with money was. I wish that was a joke.

My grandfather was in the army in WWII and upon learning he was Jewish, many other soldiers - friends of his, asked if he was hiding his horns under his hat.

Horns!

Is the album entirely silent?

Jews don't have horns?

They do but they file them down. Sort of like Hell Boy.
