8:05 is an amazingly mellow song by Moby Grape. I guess the name refers to the time a train arrives or leaves at a station.

WTRX was the first and one of the few stations to play it when it was released, and a month or more before it was played in California. Maybe Colonel Flagg or John Landecker knows if that was what they called the train that shook the studios. I remember Wally Kennedy or Dave Barber calling it by the time, to explain the noise listeners were hearing but I can't remember if it was the 8:05.

I wonder if Moby Grape ever met Sponge Bob Square Pants? If you don't understand this, look up the origin of the name Moby Grape.
