Just spinning my Dead Man Shake vinyl for the second time,
("... for the very first time"--what song is that from?)
and I noticed that the sleeve (the paper envelope kind of thing that houses the round platter with the hole in it for you gen-y'ers) has a design, presumably overseen by Paul, of overlapping pages from the Bible, kind of smudgy and crumpled so you can't read any verse or even sentence in its entirety. The only thing that stands out is a bold heading "The Wise and the Foolish" and a general bluesy fire-and-brimstone feel from the punkish design of black text on dark blue background. Stuff about sin, mortal body, covet, evil, proud man's home, poor man's lips, and I guess I see a line about a "two-edged sword" which is probably where that famous metaphor comes from.
And of course the LP has to leave off a couple of songs so it can be six to a side, which of course I miss, but you know, CDs are too damn long.
