I fukn luv the way The Verlaines use classical motifs really subtly in some of their passages. They do this w/out a hint of pretentiousness, which seems like a fatal flaw in so many bands -(I sure would be if I was in a super-cool indie rock band, and had tons of song writing chops)

Heavy 33. As far as I know, that was the only time that song appeared on an album - it wasn't on any of their other albums or singles.
