Lyrics Sunday!You moved in to my hotel.You could have done better but, oh, well. I tapped your phones, I read your mail. We split the rent butyou couldn't make the bail. (Make the bail.)Now, you never listened to the fables. You just danced to the symphony of the musical sound of your ever-expanding sea (ever-expanding sea).And now, with your hair turning so white, you live in your car and driv...

12 struck with bangs, bleeps, boogedies. Scales chafed my wrists without pity, equilibrium in my nature, unshakable. I took the day off, took it off and slept through the turn.It was like waking up to a sky of a marvelous orange and blue that I knew was made that way by fuzz and smoke in the air. Like waking up after the fact.So I go off course.Now I am no trier. I am not one to pursue a course...

I have a problem. I need an intervention. I went a bit crazy with the buying of concert tickets since I set foot in LA...the sheer volume of amazing live music choices here hypnotized me I think! It finally happened. I bought tickets to two shows on the same night...at the same time...opposite ends of town! I already had tickets to see the Frames, then I bought tickets last night to Magnolia El...

From my 90's box
over 2 years ago

"_Issued in 1995, Wild Love continued Smog's approach toward relative sonic grandeur. Led off by the remarkable *Bathysphere* (its title a fitting metaphor for Callahan's self-absorption) and climaxed by the epic *Prince Alone in the Studio* (a virtual theme song for a solitary creative existence), the LP reflected his bitter obsessions with stunning clarity, emerging as a triumph of abject fai...

I really like "Smog":http://www.dragcity.com/bands/smog.html. Especially this song. Maybe it's because I am going to start taking guitar lessons and am attracted to songs with really repetitive chords?

Her hands grip the steering wheel. She sighs. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. breath out. Her feet crunch on the dusty gravel. Little puffs of dirt cloud around her sandaled feet. The door slams hard sending a slight shudder down the car. Her grandmother's walnut tree chatters in the wind. The screen door on the porch cracks against the frame as a gust dances across the grass.She ...

Broken-heart-cold-comfort songs

I am in love but it isn't enough to stop me from being weird and abnormal.--Perhaps I make unwise decisions when I sit up late at night being bored.I also, perhaps, make unwise decisions sitting in the dark listening to Nico songs over and over again.--There are a range of broken-heart-cold-comfort songs that I like to listen to. Tonight is These Days, but sometimes it is Songs:Ohia's The Lione...
