Interview with HearYa.com's sound engineer

"Suffering Jukebox" is a Silver Jews song with the following lyrics:

"Suffering jukebox such a sad machine
your filled up with what other people need
and they never seem to turn you up loud
there are a lot of chatterboxes
in this crowd

suffering jukebox in a happy town
you’re over in the corner breaking down
they always seem to keep you
way down low
the people in this town
don’t want to know

well I guess all that mad misery
must make it seem to true to you
but money lights your world up,
you’re trapped what can you do?
you got Tennessee tendencies
and chemical dependencies
you make the same old jokes
and malaprops on cue."

I think these lyrics suit a radio show in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
