a song by john darnielle's friend joel, i think

~~Two of us~~ ~~Tour bus~~ Three of us
headed to Diemen(?) ~~Des Moines~~
You peel oranges
sharing the ~~pieces~~ slices with your father
You have to be extra careful
not to ~~get~~ drip juice
on the fine Corinthian leather
Rome wasn't built in a day
Rome wasn't built in a day
Rome wasn't built in a day
Rome wasn't built in a day

[UDPATE: Photos, thanks Lia: Photo of the full band Also, "Darnielle/Vanderslice 2004 for a less totally fucked america"]

[UPDATE #2: download the sng in question, thanks Kathryn!]

[UPDATE #3: Kathryn writes that '"my friend joel" refers to Joel Huschle who records under the name "Furniture Huschle" and is also responsible for the wonderment that is "Terror Song"! he also writes a dizzying blog'
