Subdivisions was always my jam, too.  I saw them in concert on the Roll the
Bones tour.  I was so stoked when Subdivisions started... the friends I went
with said my jaw dropped when they skipped the second verse and hurried to the
end of the song.

The crowd seemed to be enjoying it, so not sure why they were playing a
short version.  I saw them again a few months later and they had dropped it
from the show all together in favor of some interlude where an "extra" ran
on stage in a costume that made it look like he was humping a sheep.  No
idea what that was about, but it was part of the show and not just someone
that managed to evade security.

Despite the short version, I really loved the first show.  The second one,
not as much.

"Signals" also has "The Analog Kid," so there is that.  :)

.... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
