Elk Bell: SuperFragilistic
It’s a Sunday morning and I’m on a two hour train ride home to see my new nephew. The sky foreshadows things I hope won’t happen, and Elk Bell’s SuperFragilistic offers itself as the soundtrack to at least half of the two hour trip. “Holiday Island” starts the record and my trip. The slow pace matches the pace of this so called “efficient” form of public transportation. Funny that a song about a holiday would be the first one as I leave a hearty tourist destination and only see things that a tourist would never want mementos of; trailer parks, and a concrete river.
