Sleepy Eyed is a 1995 album by Buffalo Tom.[5] The band was looking to move away from the polished sound of their previous album in favor of a more stripped-down, live-sounding approach.

The subtitle of "Twenty-Points" namechecks The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, by Nan Goldin.

Critical reception

[edit]

Trouser Press wrote: "Simultaneously grungy and clean, anthemic singalongs like 'Tangerine' and 'It’s You' do a lot to restore Buffalo Tom’s erstwhile status as everyone’s favorite raucously sincere college rockers."[2]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
