Makeshift Mineshaft Aborted Cover of The Nun's Litany by The Magnetic Fields.

This was a practise run for an open mic we were going to do later that night..
The reason for the mess up at the end is twofold.
1. We got confused, and said "brothel starlet" instead of "porno starlet"
2. We didn't want to say the line "for that i'll wait til' Momma's dead", as our cameraman's (Stephen Bourke) mother was right behind that door.

We are still uploading this, as we feel that the bits leading up to that are enjoyable, and convey our love for the song. This song ended up being the first song we ever performed in public (later that night). We're pretty sure that people got the wrong idea, and didn't get that the song was from a nun's perspective, but we are still glad that we did it!

For the Merritt geeks out there, the "MOMMA to shed one tear" alteration is from the Merritt vocal b-side!
