The first mention of longtime Goats member Peter Hughes occurs in the annotations for this song, though it feels more like a foreshadowing of his entrance into the story than a proper introduction to Peter Hughes. Hughes was running a tape label, and Darnielle decided to just make a song a day for ten days and release the resultant tape (this track is from that tape). This is not the story of how he met Hughes, but it seems to be the start of his professional interaction/collaboration with Hughes.
The song is all right, but I don't have a lot to say about it.
