BECAUSE THE WEB MOSTLY SUCKS

(82)

11-85 on Sycamore, please roll a tow truck. Copy that, we're nearby. Pleas crackle from the dash, each call's a lotto drawing; I wonder what numbers you're holding. Are your fingers crossed for simple heroics, 10-17, request for gasoline on Delancey, or is breath baited for bigger buildings to scale? 10-32, 10-32 at Thompson Lake? 10-32, do you copy? The drowning is well in progress.

Come quick if you're close but don't worry: your secret's safe if you only play games you'll win. Just remind us to take you off speed dial.

Quieted by thoughts of potentially pervasive cowardice, I exchange scanner hiss for the dream pop timidity of new Headlights. Predictably lulled for a moment and then – what’s this? - I'm roused by "Get Your Head Around It" and its subtle gathering of strength. Sure, the move's a cribbed one, but I like the hope of even borrowed boldness, late-arriving in skinny pants. Urgent chimes lead the 2-minute-mark-march and I can’t help but think, well. Maybe we have it in us after all. 10-32? 10-4.

Take 3

I was not familiar with 'Headlights' before a few minutes ago...splendid. Thanks as always :-)

Now on the subject of cowardice, I will borrow some boldness and make dedicate this one to you. Lately when I hear this song, I hear it in your voice...singing it to a certain somebody

Never fails...the one that acutally WORKS is the one in which i butcher the English language...'make dedicate'?

So eloquent I am...

Hello, Glen. Have I mentioned how desperately I want to go back to Ireland?

There's something good - as in, the opposite of evil - going on in that song.

I have summoned no words to say why, but this definitely doesn't suck.
