That tooth bank has to be for the meth heads and their teeth falling out, right?

The desert is known for that shit, especially where he was from.

i had no idea there's a couple b sides to the desert sessions; when they released 9/10, there was a single released for Crawl Home featuring PJ Harvey. there are two b sides to it:
Prince's It covered by Alain Johannes (but credited to DS)
PJ Harvey's The Whores Hustle and the Hustlers Whore by Josh and Troy (again, credited to DS)
