Are you ready? 'Cuz I am ready.
Let's get this started, 'cuz it's almost time.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

PSA

Before you make a judgment about how I'm using my time,
let me tell you, I don't use drugs; I use my mind.

A scratch and a bite.
A battery-operated fight.
I can't get no reaction or disciplinary action.
Adult themes in childhood costumes.
A little too much makeup and not enough skirt.
Oh, those innocent racists and inadvertent sexists.
The team leaders look the other way and pretend to be on important phone calls.

I can't own you and that's not necessarily what I want,
but to exist along side you in a mutually exclusive deal.

Headache After Headache

|
Minds will change where time cannot and times will change where minds don't know how.
I see your face in every furrowed brow,
pushing shopping carts and filling up your car.
And so what? So what has this descended into?
You say, hey, do something,
but all my verbs are infinitives.
|
||||

||||
|
Let me be your broken compass so you can spin me around and around.
Let's get lost; let's crash and burn.
Let this lesson be the hardest one to learn.

Most People Skim
00:20
|
|||
|
The world is deep, as deep as you can swim.
Most people float; most people skim.
Their minds are empty or filled with lighter things.
What have we not explored? What is not accounted for?
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
Come join the serious and the shouted who take deep breaths and tell you about it.
They're usually pretty good at collecting incriminating evidence.
With hooks and hands we'll sink the lovers.
Dismantle every bachelor and send him back to mother.
I am your thoughts. I am your embarrassing notebooks.
Look out, look out, look out.

Death Is My Co-Pilot
00:15
|
|||
|
It's death we'll continuously personify,
sitting in the passenger seat, a co-pilot if you will.

The Richer Wave
00:31
|
|||
|
Their voices carried on a richer wave because they could afford the space in the atmosphere
so they were loud enough for more to hear.
|

|
Listen to my attention deficit recorder.
It's all out of nothing.
It's all out of order.
Now, you may think I'm just dreaming, but what's the difference if I hit play or if I hit record?
I like to wander.
I like to get lost.
So here we go; we're gonna pay the tolls no matter the cost.
Dream, dream, dream away. Dream all night and dream all day.

Commuter Fatigue
by Charlie Crane
Wonderful, lo-fi, quirky pop mania. Charlie also interviewed the Hussalonia founder for an episode of his equally wonderful podcast, Stereo Hysteria.

Manic, lo-fi pop miracles. It pains me that Foibles isn't better known to the music-loving world. Start with "Solid Rock Baptist Rummage Sale" and "Holly Ann Place," but they're all amazing.
