"On a family vacation to Florida in the mid-`70s, Bubba cut his head on the bedside table in a motel room.

I still remember it vividly and how I was haunted by the matter-of-fact line: `you cut your head on the bedside table.' Its ten syllables sounded right, but the content is what really haunted me.

It felt like the ultimate betrayal, the bedside table taking advantage of its proximity to a serenely sleeping body." - Matt Kadane "WhatFunLifeWas is concise and evocative, songs whose meticulous conception sacrifices nothing in the way of visceral power.

Heady without being stifled, dynamic without being obvious, quiet but best heard loudly, /fun takes the simple and builds it into something deceptively complex." - Dallas Observer
