Simple enough concept. I've tried to compile a nice mix of songs that either use a xylophone, marimba, glockenspiel or other Miss America Talent Competition-worthy instruments, i.e. bottles, barrels, etc.
The title came from a long day sitting at work, on July 3rd, hours away from my three-day weekend, with an idle mind, and it made "tired sense", so it stuck. [pride] I like how the cover tuned out. [/pride]
