Ghosts of the Barbary Coast is another collaboration between Aesop Rock and artist Jeremy Fish, available for download from def jux right here. The art is Fish at his surreal tattoo influenced best. The track called “tomorrow morning” is pure Ace Rizzle , with the strangely catchy chorus of:

tomorrow morning when the wharf is finished warping, you will wash up on the shore and wonder what was so alluring, tomorrow evening when the leeches finish feeding, you will regret the ownership of an aorta that is bleeding

What sucks is that you have to go through the process of signing up for a user account on definitivejux.net to get the download, but I can’t fault a business for trying to collect some demographic and contact info from its customers.  Here is the link to check out the package, which includes a .mov file with images of Fish’s art set to the song, and a pdf of Aesop’s lyrics.
