The Extra Glenns - Martial Arts Weekend (2001) [Absolutely Kosher Records, AK017, CD]

No lyrics for this one yet, but maybe coming later. This one sorts under the Franklin index, but you won't get to hear Franklin singing very much outside the harmonies. Enjoy his guitar work!

"Memories" is a Leonard Cohen cover.

"Going to Morocco", "Going to Michigan", and "Going to Marrakesh" are in the vein of  the Mountain Goats "Going to [...]" series. For more Going-to's on the site: "Going to Fontana" by way of Nothing Painted Blue's Sorely Tempted 7"; Diskothi-Q offers up "Going to Nick's" on The Wandering Jew and "Going to Pomona" on Harmless But Ultimately Unloveable, Loveless But Ultimately Unharmable; Wckr Spgt's CRTV (read about it on the Wckr Spgt site) has "Going to Waco", which is a great song to sneak to unsuspecting listeners to mislead them about what Wckr Spgt sounds like. 

You can read lyrics for all these songs as transcribed by the wonderful Nall on his long-running site for all things Mountain Goats
