You haven't even got a face

Notes:
Let's see, the interval between that lovely rendition of "Temporary Home" and "Made to Disappear" is a nice song called "Black Hills of Dakota", from the movie Calamity Jane. Audio snippets from same feature throughout Patti Griffin's delectable performance of "Mil Besos". Back to "Temporary Home", that was made by recording the song as it played on the radio with the radio tuned one frequency decimal too low, and mixing it with the default recording. I had to stagger the default recording forward at several points, because the radio recording was faster, which I don't really understand unless having the radio on the wrong frequency distorts time as well as sound, or radio stations like to play songs at about 105% speed to get in more commercials. Anyhow, after I matched them up best I could, I bounced the levels around and skipped some boring parts and there it is. Lastly, "Cane Fields" has some ambient noise from some of those 360 tours of the Haiti shelters, post-earthquake. I felt the song fit as sort of an elegiac, instrumental moment-of-silence. I'm glad Bill Clinton realizes, now, that it would have been a darn good idea to let Haiti continue to grow its own food in the nineties instead of becoming plastic-Disney-Princess-costume-basket to the world.
