i could never make you whole but i know who can.
not so apathetic reccomendations...
people should listen to... old school twelve gauge. fugazi. tokyo police club. broken social scene. new school twelve gauge. some relient k. some anberlin. a little training for utopia. a good dose of five iron frenzy. then listen to every song made by the chariot for the rest of your life. over and over. then youll feel better and your life wont be as much of a black abyss.
hello america, where is your future?
In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel's life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted.
wake up folks.
is this the future, Colour Revolt? maybe so. we wont let it.
Band bio for Colour Revolt which I dont know how to write, and God knows Im trying. Starting with the obvious: theres a lot of guitars in Colour Revolt. But theyre not dumb guitars, thats what Im saying. Its pretty sometimes, sure, but it doesnt do to leave gorgeous alone, and sometimes you have to punch the blushing bride in the face, you the low-hearted puggish bridesmaid with nary a suitor. Ugly babies born with buck teeth which will fall out only to be replaced by wolf fangs. All of your children need braces, says Colour Revolt. All the dogs are better christians than we are. At best one can approximate the howl, but it isnt worth much.
What Im saying is, all your ugly babies will grow into baying canines who love Colour Revolt. Well all go to Oxford together, a city famous for its many dignified dead, and get bit by the mosquitoes that come at you like pteradactyls with all their raging prehistory. Well all have the same disease. All our hidden pasts, what our gandparents wrote. And it will be fun and hurt in our bones. The insects will grow fat on our blood.
And what of it? The dogs will outlive us, by God. And they deserve it. What have you ever done?
To be bludgeoned to death by sound, by music, says Colour Revolt. We have you and are not afraid.
a small sort of rant...
fuck you victory. you make good bands suck. just so you know.
with blood comes cleansing
nodes of ranvier
comeback kid
well miss you. R.I.P.
if you touch streetlight or BTBAM. i hope you crumble.
well...either way i dont care if you crumble i guess...i mean every other band on you is a rip off of a band that had maybe a shred of originality. just so you know.
your followers are sheep too. "went to the store and saw this cd and it said they sounded like cake, zao, and the casualties." wtf? when in reality it was just (another) keyboard drivin rock band.
this is an exaggeration but you get the idea.
"you cant just tap people on the shoulder anymore, you have to hit them with a sledgehammer."
throw these in a blender...
first throw in a whole "not a word" by life in your way...
Here we are unfaithful with our words
Choices made that separate life and love leaving empty eyes and
hands that dare not touch the truth
Honestly dishonest this selfish pursuit buried deep in a discord of faith
While not concerned with their hearts
(here we are unfaithful with our words)
discoveries overlooked entirely
What's in my mind what's written on my heart
What's remembered no more
The old is obsolete and the new will make the old soon disappear
Though I feel wicked we can give good things
May my wealth be found and be worthy of my duty
I call for change to end this life I long only to hold true
To be a witness held by goodness held back by conviction
I truly am blowing in the wind
Without you holding me there would be nothing left to speak of
Even though I feel that I am less than the least
can I sing in the shadows of your wings
Where else might I sing but in the shadows of your wings?
Where else might I hide but in the shadows of your wings?
Where else?
add 4 cups of "if winter ends" by bright eyes...
i dreamt of a fever,
one that would cure me of this cold, winter set heart.
with heat to melt these frozen tears
burned with reasons as to carry on.
into these twisted months i plunge without a light to follow
but i swear that i would follow anything
just get me out of here.
and you get six months to adapt
then you get two more to leave town.
and in the event that you do adapt
we still might not want you around.
but i fell for the promise of a life with a purpose
but i know that that's impossible now.
and so i drink to stay warm
and to kill selected memories
'cause i just can't think anymore about that
or about her tonight
but i give myself three days to feel better
or else i swear i'll drive right off a fucking cliff
'cause if i can't learn to make myself feel better
how can i expect anyone else to give a shit?
and i scream for the sunlight or a car to take me anywhere
just get me past this dead and eternal snow
'cause i swear that i'm dying, slowly but it's happening
and if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere
just take me there, just take me there, just take me there
and say, and lie to me, and say, and lie to me, and say
it's going to be alright
then throw in just enough "coin-laundry loser" by twothirtyeight to make the substance sort of a pale human color...
so tired you could sleep with the light on
with the stereo blasting in you ear
you know you're tired when your senses fail
i'm a coin-laundry loser with a degree
i'm the car alarm in an '83 pontiac, painted black
keep the loved ones posted,
someday they will have to come and bail you out
hold your breath, count to ten,
save your cursing for the navy wingnut
so caught up in being noteworthy,
the average ghost is haunting someone else
you know you're wired when your senses fail
i'm a coin-laundry loser with a degree
i'm the car alarm in an '83 pontiac, painted black
keep the loved ones posted,
someday they will have to come and bail you out
hold your breath, count to ten,
save your cursing for the navy wingnut
then if you want you can throw in a little motion city just so everyone likes it and they cant quite put a finger on just why.....
and youll probably come out with something like Justin, except more like a really gross tasting smoothie if i may be so bold...
