Comment:

I think the title says it all, songs about Knives or psychosis. Yes there are some things you might feel are missing (like Confessions of a Knife, but there are reason some things are left off. What do you want Mack the Knife?), and some that you probobobly think don't belong, but this is a tape made by me, for me to roll around with in the car. I don't really care if you like it or not. The titles of the tape were stolen from a book, anyone have any ideas as to which one? I also tried to take the end of my thumb of at work today with a 12" chef knife (cut almost all the way through the thumb nail, fingers are over-rated anyway.) so this one is sealed in blood and so I felt that I had to finish it. I started it yesterday, grievously injured myself today on the subject matter (knives) and knew it had to be finished today. Enjoy it, steal it, piss up a rope, or do all three. For every time you knock me down, I will come back up with another knife!

Hope your nightmares are better than mine,

Awesome! Nice to see the Beasts of Bourbon there, too. And I didn't know Johnny Cash covered The Mercy Seat, gotta check that out!

This is indeed frightening... not sure what to make of it, but it's certainly got some great tunes on it and it sure is effective in creeping me out. Thanks for the comment on my newest mix.
