I love Rick's art. I particular love that train one, thanks for posting these.

The old Hot Snakes website was dope. Original Rick art all over it.

Why do you think they revisited the song, re-recorded it, and placed it last on the album?
I have no idea, but both versions do serve as proper band-bookends... kinda like Slint with "Rhoda"?

Interesting point in re the book-ending, as well as the analogue to Slint. It has been way too long since I have listened to "Rhoda," I really love that second version.

I was only kidding about the cover art, of course I love it. All of Rick's. Around the time of the Obits when he had a heart scare, I emailed him to see about buying a painting, but never heard back.
I do distinctly remember hotsnakes.com though! What a treat it was to click there.

30 years old today, reminded of this nice touch that Rick hand drew the katakana for the Japanese obi:
