Some of the few funny moments in Suite Dreams also turn out to be Yang's inventions. For instance, a lamentable bellhop at the hotel (well-played by Blake Spraggins) always seems to have his itchy hand out for a non-existent tip.

Their guitar riffs, though familiar, did not sink into Southern cliches, and their lead vocalist managed to resist comparisons to the B-52's. It was a matter of no small consolation that, with songs titled "Boiled Potato" and "Cocaine Slut...
