Comment:

I made this for my friend Kristin because I miss her, and I don't have a job yet. Without sounding too sappy, I am delighted that she has become one of my best friends over the past few months. Many of these songs contain insight into how I have felt. I almost made a narrative tape. In many ways, most of the first side and much of the second side until the pop songs hit form a loose narration of my moods. Despite the dimness of the majority of the songs, I hope she finds some humor and irony in quite a few of the songs and their tones, specifically "Prom Theme," "Super Nice Guys," and "Still in Love." The title comes from the Sleater-Kinney song. Kristin, in my mind, "works just like a child" in the best ways. With this tape I mean to adopt Michael Stipe's anti-poetic words and say, "Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for listening."
