Graveyard
Heard twice on Locust Abortion Technician, first slowed and warped, then played more straight.

The album holds two takes of the song. The first is slowed and warped, the second more straightforward. Leary said: "That first version is the better one, of course." Of the guitar part he said Haynes "did the guitar on that song without even hearing the song," because "Gibby didn't even know we were recording."
Melvins covered it on their 2018 album Pinkus Abortion Technician, a title that refers to both this album and Jeff Pinkus. The band has regularly played Graveyard live.
