My Velvet Underground 8-track came today. I played it about 4 times. There's a song called The Gift in which a very neurotic sounding guy, Waldo, talks over some fairly noisy music in a nerdy way about how he misses his girlfriend. They're home from college and she's in like Wisconsin or something and he's in Penna. He's obsessing about her being unfaithful to him while they're apart. He can't afford to visit her, so he decides to mail himself to her in a giant box. Then the song switches to her point of view. Sure enough she's drinking and screwing around and has pretty much forgotten about him. The package arrives while a girlfriend is there. Oh God it's from Waldo, the schmuck. They have a hard time opening the package, so one of them gets a large knife...you know what's going to happen now don't you? Hint: blood is involved. Well you can listen to the song. It's pretty amazing.

Now I'm listening to The Man From O.R.G.A.N. again. Here's my super depressing Cancer Cat Blog for anyone who's interested.
