MP3 Song For The Orca

This song is for the Orca
Swimming round in circles at Sea World
Someday you'll drown the dude with the clipboard
Looks like Travis Morrison was not too far off from what really happened. Not to make light of someone's death, but the situation described in the opening lines of "Song for an Orca" is eerily similar to the headline-grabbing fate of the deceased Sea World trainer.
As for Morrison, there aren't too many reason to go back to the solo debut of the former Dismemberment Plan frontman, although it was far better than this review made it out to be. In fact, the release of Travistan did more for Pitchfork than it did for Morrison, establishing them as the (for better or worse) de facto voice of music criticism, while relegating the onetime D-Plan singer as the answer to some cruel pop culture quiz about what artist received the dreaded 0.0 rating. It's a shame, he deserved more than that.
