To answer, my own question, they are not on the same album. Also, Sony released an Expanded Edition of Relight My Fire at some point. I'll have to check that out.

The Smoking Popes were never on my radar. I just read all about them on Wikipedia, and now I'm suddenly retroactively disappointed that they kinda broke up when one member found Jesus.

when i was in junior high i had an after-school dentist appointment. my mom had to work so i had to walk from school to the dentist, where i was to check with "mrs davenport" about something. i couldn't remember her name. my mom said something like, "you know, 'davenport,' like a 'couch''. of course i didn't know that, but sure as hell when i got to the dentist that day i asked for "mrs couch" and got the stare of death from mrs davenport.

all of that is to say that jonny couch sounds great but he/they should have called their label "damaged davenport" instead.
