Which guitar are you playing in it? The guitar and keyboards give the "old" sound to the song.

Nah, a bed in the Bexar County Jail costs $95 a night. Guitars on "Trouble Pilgrim"? I think it's my Fender Telecaster doubled up with my Rickenbacker 12-string Electric, and I'm pretty sure Pete's playing a Telecaster as well on it. The organ is an old Vox Continental played in
homage to Augie Meyers. The 60s American "Nuggets" bands, like Count Five, 13th Floor Elevators, Sir Douglas Quintet, Electric Prunes, the Seeds etc were in many ways as much an influence on the Radiators as Marc Bolan, David Bowie, New York Dolls, Flaming Groovies, Roxy Music, the Ramones and Kurt Weill, but we sort of skipped the album where that would be apparent in order to make the more cinematic
Ghostown.
