Pretty Cool Connection du Jour

As a young buck who spent his share of hours in the back of a pick-up stacking bales of hay, I think the most physically dead-on lyric I can think of may be "a tailgate banging like an airplane wing." - XMASTIME

It makes sense because after all Steve Earle was a bit of a mentor to Marah, even signing them to Artemis Records for their beyond-legendary Kids in Philly, but his line from Guitar Town:

But no local yokel gonna shut me down
'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound
has a similar vibe for me, both in its rhythm & its meaning melding perfectly with how it sounds.
