¹ The Knife are playing at the El Rey in L.A. on Saturday, November 4th. Tickets are $32.75. It's the only concert I've wanted to see this fall that actually works with my class schedule, so I'm seriously considering it, and homework be damned. Anyone else interested? Please?

² The first time I heard this song I had accidentally hit the repeat button on the CD player, and I listened to it about 10 times straight through before I realized it was not actually one long, hooting, monotonous, callow, awesome song. I can wholeheartedly recommend this approach.

³ Unless I'm mistaken, and I don't see how I could be, the titular "white horse" is a Winnebago.

⁴ Can anyone with actual knowledge of musical theory confirm whether "7/4" is a reference to the time signature of this song?
