This Soul Coughing album was, for me, the soundtrack to the summer my boyfriend left to hitchhike around the country and I got a job waiting tables in a retirement home (0/10, do not recommend). I would drive home from my shift, wearing hospital scrubs and marching band jeans, wishfully singing along to, "I will lash out dancing like a madman when you're gone / I will split the blue flame and throw my glass against the wall" even as I knew I would never do anything so bold.
