I kind of ignored this song for a long time and only slowly realised how great it is - the most joyous song Jason Pierce ever wrote, a pure celebration of life and getting fucked up.
'Powers of Ten' one of my favorite short films. I've always assumed that this song has a double-meaning... 'bars' being musical units of time, and also establishments serving alcohol. Right?
I very much doubt that either this song or jason pierce had alcohol on his mind when this was written, the song is a game, once it hits 100 bars the counting stops and its up to you to count the last 100, how far off you are determines how stoned you are
Morse Code man. Come on leave me something to call my own. Dig the miles from our beautiful planet. Something else to be viewed as a spec on a spec, kinda like Horton Hears a Hoo or Who.¿. Really curious to hear why J chose morse code as a medium for album art. Regardless much love and respect. --- ••• -- •• --- ••• -- •• --- ••• -- ••

Yeah, of course. Jason always had that wry sense of humour. Who else would call their own daughter Poppy after a lifetime of musical heroin allusions?

@@davedennison7386 I'm assuming you don't have a long history of writing songs about heroin though?
