systems officer | signature red

mention of rob crow in the san diego post prompts me to post this song, from the one and only systems officer ep. systems officer is the solo work of armistead burwell smith iv, who also plays in pinback with rob crow, and was in three mile pilot. and i think this is my favourite song i've heard of his. it sounds innocuous enough at first, but you wait, pretty soon you won't be able to get rid of the damn thing. in a good way.
