  General Comment:The novel Ulysses is by James Joyce (and of course also a Greek myth). The line "You're my Ulysses that I'll never end" is him saying she's his impossibly complex novel that will never be finished; thus, he can write a thousand songs for her a day and never run out.

  General Comment:Hey guys,
  Some insight to the title, not the lyrics, just the title. The title seems to have no correlation to the meaning within the lyrics.
  So i did some research, and this is almost definitely TOTALLY off, but checkitout:
  If you do a quick google search of Volatic, no crusher, just voltaic, you get some shit about electrical conduction in potassium, a reaction named after a chemist.
  WHATEVER
  Here's wassup: Back in 1919, a colony of France (we all know how much KB loves France [see Art Snob Solutions]) was established called The Republic of the Upper Volta. The people of this colony were called the Voltaic People. In '83 a man named Thomas Sankara launched a coup organized by his buddy Blaise Compaore (who eventually had him murdered) and acquired presidency. Under his rule, The Republic of the Upper Volta was renamed Burkina Faso, and remains under that name.
  So in other words, Sankara was the crusher of the Voltaic people, since the ceased to exist, and instead were the people of Burkina Faso.
  
  Okay i know thats hella out there and obscure, but hey, it's a shot. Whaddya think?

  General Comment:good song, but certainly not better than everything on hissing fauna, imo. i don't think it would have fit well with the rest of the cd, either. so i'm glad that this ep exists.

  General Comment:best song on icons abstract, thee.
  maybe best song from their 2007 releases.
  i dont know why they wouldn't put this on HFAYTD?.
  my favourite part is:
  
  "please God, don't be a bastard"
  
  not many people call god a bastard, and they should more often.
