you mean that little D, E, F thing that i like to refer to as the "bob weston run" since i think i've heard it in like 3 shellac songs.

this is probably the song that turned me on to this band. terraform was the first shellac L.P. I ever bought. I remember the first time I heard this song. very new to them. the repetition to me was apart of the appeal, that density, and sparse direction. I kinda felt like I knew what was going to happen, but didn't know when, and when it did, it was pretty enlightening.

whilst recording with Steve last year, he told us that "that song" has gotten close to the 30 minute mark live before. amazing.
