about

According to Nick Leet...
I was listening to a lot of Uncle Tupelo in late 2003 and early 2004. I had a long phone conversation with musician/artist, Brent Braniff, where we discussed how successful artists were typically good looking and more successful than those that weren't attractive. I was struggling to pay the rent at the time and hanging out with a girl who would always go to Brothers nightclub in MPLS, which was a hip hop bar. I was living in a studio apartment that I called "Studio 24". It was written in about 15 minutes following the phone call with Brent. I called him back to play it over the phone.

lyrics

Moonlight Girls make their weather
while the jukebox plays lets spend the night together
U.S.A. talent equals pretty
turn off the tv, the shit is killing me

It's a cash machine advance
don't it make you want to dance
survival left to chance

Where's it go when the money's gone
try to figure out where the hell I want wrong
Half is spent before I pay the rent
Half is spent before the money's sent
don't it make your blue eyes red?

Moonlight Girls go home in fancy cars
after all night parties drinking at the hip hop bars
I go home, Studio 24
Jack of hearts sleeping on the floor
