Listen/download: Au Revoir (Adios) (Front Bottoms Cover) by Allison Weiss

Yeah so after careful consideration and very scientific testing, I think I actually like this better than the original Front Bottoms version.

You're like the guy in the story who was caught in a sudden shower and Who ran to a grove of trees and got under one. He wasn't worried, you see, because he figured when one tree got wet through, he would just get under another one.

ADAM GNADE “WE LIVE NOWHERE AND KNOW NO ONE” FROM HELLO AMERICA! CD (PUNCH DRUNK PRESS) Lyrics: Let’s put our shit in storage, darling. Let’s let it stack up in piles. Let’s put our shit in storage, darling. And we’re gonna let it stack all up in piles. In brown moving boxes labeled “bedroom,” “bath,” and “nursery,” for a baby we never had. Let’s leave another town behind, darling. Let’s split for the west coast. Let’s leave another town behind, darling. And we’re gonna go where nobody knows us. Because Bruce had it right and Johnny had it wrong: We’re not “born to lose,” we’re “born to run!” Let’s leave another town behind, darling. Let’s get the hell out of Norfolk. Let’s leave another town behind, darling. Let’s go prove everybody wrong. Let’s leave another town behind, darling, because we ain’t been happy in years and we’re gonna change that. We will. We will! We will!

Adam, this shit really is fantastic. Expect to be getting some money from me as soon as possible, I need to own this. Ha.

And this was track 1 on a NUMBER of mix cds I made five or six years ago, lemme tell ya.

Love is real. It is not just in long distance commercials, Or something that you thought you felt back in high school. So I will turn black and white, Become that horoscope you’re reading. It predicts something good is on its way. Oh, and then I will send you the world green and blue In a box through the mail. You can open it up, hold it right in your hand, And be glad that it’s there, And be glad that you’re there. Now, you can feel all the knots in your stomach start to untie… And suddenly it’s not so hard to say you’re alright. Been rediscovering a lot of old music lately. I like it. A lot of it means even more to me now than it did then, which is saying something.

I guess that’s what growing up is like.

About time, I guess.

Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.

Let’s turn this whole place upside down Shake it ‘til the coins come falling Out of it’s pockets, yeah, Put on your Che Guevara pin, Call the troops on in-- We’re gonna sail through the night sky Like a pair of bottle rockets!

So I’ve done basically nothing on Tumblr in the last few months

But damned if I don’t still get daily emails about all of the new softcore porn spam accounts who are now following me

Tomorrow

The sun’ll come out Tomorrow Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow There’ll be sun

Just thinkin’ about Tomorrow Clears away the cobwebs And the sorrow ‘Til there’s none

When I’m stuck with a day that’s gray And lonely I just stick out my chin And grin And say

Oh, the sun’ll come out Tomorrow So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow Come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow I love you, tomorrow You’re always a day away

Alpha Omega

On the morning you went away The air was humid and the sky was gray I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from Cairo, Georgia

The air was wet, my face was wetter The pink flowers along the western window made me feel better I turned the air conditioner on Found the note on scented stationary - you were long gone I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from Cairo, Georgia

I popped the top off of the aluminum can Let the brine slide down my fingers, man It was warm, it was warm on my skin But I felt the cold blast looming on in I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from Cairo, Georgia

from Protein Source of the Future… Now! (1999)

“It was supposed to be the last song in the Alpha series, but it didn’t quite work out that way."
