"I Didn't Know That," by The Books

Like a lot of people, when I first heard the Books' "Thought for Food," back in 2003, I was very confused. Like: What. The. Hell. Is. This?! Like some kind of Appalachian William Burroughs being chased through a forest by razor blades. The album infected my consciousness and for a long while I couldn't listen to much else. I still marvel at the sheer number of cuts per minutes. This track is from their latest album, "The Way Out." I hope it'll make you smile.
