'Chicken Wire'
Pernice Brothers (1998)
The Breakdown: Breathy Massachusetts sad sacks offer a lovely ballad about a woman choking to death on exhaust fumes ... and a cloud of minor chords.
The Waterworks: "They found her car/Still running/In the garage."
Casualty Count: One woman, and the drink she was holding.
