to my knowledge, the only song worth hearing about my home state.
(and, let’s be honest: probably one of five total songs about North Dakota)

If you live anywhere from the rust belt to Nebraska, you will about one thing per minute that speaks to the Midwest/forgotten American town experience on this album. K-Mart parking lots, dirty spring snow piles, family mini-vans with 200,000 miles.
Such an underrated band!

my favorite album front to back. just… haunting. the eponymous song is my favorite singer songwriter track ever recorded. closing verse on “open all night” some of the dirtiest bars ever spit
the range between existential hope and practical despair is what i am most attracted to here
i do my heaviest weight lifting in my nebraska crop top
for fans of the album, have you read “heart of darkness” by david burke? details the album’s place in greater folk history/bruce’s arc

(minor spoilers, I guess?)
a few long take bangers in this film, but the battle scene near the end is so goddamn good. follow Clive Owen and the pregnant young woman in his care as they get caught in a skirmish between two warring factions. Cuarón is the best.
