Blue Pine - "The Milkmaid Queen"
I leave messages on people's answering machines for a living. But this. This. I feel unfit to do my job. The brevity and power of a "call me, we're fucked", but the delivery and teeth of a "you're not good enough for me". I hope your voicemail sounds always and never like this. [Buy]
Blind Roosevelt Graves and Brother - "I'll Be Rested (When the Roll is Called)"
I'm getting ready for the Rapture. I'm boarding up my neighbours windows, I'm keying stretch Hummers and Vespas. I'm digging a trough in the middle of my lawn, and piling the dirt at the front like a great pompadour. I'm making sandwich after sandwich, and freezing them alongside my collection of stolen cellphones and prescription sunglasses. I'm screaming and slapping the girls who leave school first, I'm struttin' my new longboard and wielding it like a saber against mailcarriers carrying packages from Amazon and anything heavier than it should be. I'm right, I absolutely know that I am. [Buy]
Posted by Dan at November 21, 2006 3:47 AMDan, this is great stuff. Well done! Ever noticed how my comments are usually just compliments or rants, with no sense of inclusiveness? I'm unfair. Feel free to delete my ass. You guys are the three rings who bind them. (Make of that...)
