Science Gone Mad: Audio eXchange

Epsilon (final) phase

"Murder In The Red Barn" - Tom Waits

I had the idea, when I first entered a mix into the now-defunct Dumpin Mixtape Challenge, that I'd contribute a mixtape full of murder ballads; the only two songs that made the cut by the entry date were "God's Gonna Cut You Down" by Johnny Cash and "Exploitations of a Mistake" by GZA f/ Muggs. This would have been song #3, if I'd have more of the week to play with (before family emergency stalled my progress and cut the entry short by 5 min).

Tom Waits smokes a carton a day. He has to, 'cause not only does his voice betray this fact, but he's also a sick fucker, sick is to incredibly gifted as bad is to good.
