  I don't know the person who broke Jim O'Rourke's heart, but I'd like to thank them for inspiring Jim to make his best album within the "Drag City" era of his work. "Insignificance" is a scathing, toxic album about love and it couldn't sound any more beautiful than this. O'Rourke brings in Jeff Tweedy and Glen Kotche of the band "Wilco" to bring in a harder, more rock-oriented feel into his arrangement. It fits very well with the lyrics which, again, are scathing and vile. "Memory Lame" is a good example as it is so filled with hate and contempt, but the music is incredible.
