This one still gets to me. The first time I heard it I was in a pretty bad situation life/career/relationship-wise in general and it just killed me.

It hits too close to home still as I feel I’m around that age where you have just about enough time for major change or stick with what you’re doing, happy as I am currently.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Life just kind of empties out
Less a deluge than a drought
Less a giant mushroom cloud
Than an unexploded shell
Inside a cell
Of the Lennox Hotel

The lyrics are something else in this one.

While perspective lines converge
Rows of cars and buses merge
All the sweet green trees of Atlanta burst
Like little bombs
Or little pom-poms
Shaken by a careless hand
That drives them off
And leaves again

Pure poetry.

I'm rediscovering I'm With Stupid these days and feeling myself some kind of '90s indie way. Ugh why do we have to grow old?

Today's the fourth of July
Another June has gone by
And when they light up our town I just think
What a waste of gunpowder and sky

The Queen Of Pop will return officially on 5th November.

This is the kind of Monday content I’m looking for. Great news.

Whatever
I'm With Stupid
Bachelor No. 2
Magnolia
Lost In Space
The Forgotten Arm
One More Drifter in the Snow
Smilers
Charmer
Mental Illness
Queens of the Summer Hotel

"Wise Up" re-recording as a bonus track, please. (I hate when tracks are released only on vinyl.)
