Elysian Fields - Rope of Weeds. Driving home from work (back when I lived in a city where I drove) at 3am and listening to a local college radio station, this song nearly killed me. I unconsciously slowed the car to a crawl, completely hypnotized by Jennifer Charles’ voice; her slow-burn repetitions stop time. The song requires some suspension of your more critical facilities (see lyrics, brush work), but there is pleasure here in surrender. Headphones, volume, close your eyes, give in.
