    Some of the tracks speak so close to me, specially "America's Most Wanted Mark Kozelek and John Dillinger" since I've been to the Sun Kil Moon's concert in Umbertide that Kozelek mentions in it, where he gets the gum from the boy (Who he thought was a girl!) and let's the guys dance on stage.

    Kozelek's more recent output has obviously been vulnerable, but he feels especially open here--he’s not just making fun of himself, but also deeply dissecting why he makes fun of himself, and the sadness that’s hidden within a punchline.
