I haven't tried it, but the Firefox "Download Helper" add-on might work. It doesn't catch on to every web player but you can get lucky.

i just dug out the eureka ep for the first time in…a decade?
some observations just because i wonder what this sounds like to other people almost 20 years on
eureka iv -- i still like this song, although what was up with gold boys and ray guns in the 90s? it sounds weird now. his jesus song -- awesome, still love this and i would not mind being in this bandx-ray hip -- what the fucking fuck is going on with the singing/lyrics in this song. awful. otherwise it's fine but not memorablethere's also a song that sounds like an alex chilton impersonator
i guess part of it held up ok. that's not bad! the only song i could really get into was his jesus song. this video is pretty awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=995hAm-wcys

Relistened to it, still think it's their most solid release, though other albums contain some better songs.
I've always linked Eureka with Urge Overkill's Stull EP from a few years previous. Comes right between the promising/catchy/eccentric minor league album and the major label jump. Features an eclectic bunch of stuff, some much more accessible than anything previous, some out-there. Like a last-minute housecleaning before getting more focused. Actually there's a bit of similarity between the two bands' career arcs, probably due to the state of the music business at the time more than anything else, I'd guess. Especially:

One Sock Missing is my favorite Grifters album, and one of my favorite albums from the 90's.
I only saw them once at a small bar around '95? They were good and sloppy or sloppy good I guess.
I still remember some drunk from the back kept yelling out, "Rolling Stones!"
I guess I could see them covering a couple of the 'Exile' songs.

I just saw this, and it was too great not to mention. Bunch of blue-collar guys just jamming on the street. I'm guessing they'll do a Bad Company cover...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL6ctSaNQVg
