The Chambermaids - Down in the Berries


The Chambermaids
"Down in the Berries"
4/16/13


No, you see so much.
Pussycat Dolls, you may have been that
No, it doesn't really matter

In a midwest town 
I am a midwestern 
and the sky is blue

Vocals intertwine
The bass and drums run ahead
Dance with the guitar

sexual tension
finds it's childhood home in the 
dust on a snare drum

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS
I LOVE THIS FUCKING RECORD
(thanks for making it)

this is what could be
if Thurston and the two kims
made a music kid

short shirt with fringe
fringed dancers that hang on
to see fringed noise

bass bop head stock snare
too controlled too controlled now
cuts fingers cuts lights

By water, by air
We should not go home that way
Alley's are fun too!

When I first met you
you led me down those dark stairs 
to that cellar door

Guards - In Guards We Trust

Guards
"In Guards We Trust"
4/2/13

Modern Ear candy
Leaving no hip stone unturned
A zeitgeist snapshot

through a waterfall
into mozzarella lawns
then into new shoes

today we wished for
summertime to hurry up
maybe this will help

I can almost taste
when everything felt simple
but was it ever?

Black midnight leather
midnight fog city street rampage
hold my midnight hand

outside your door you
will rectify your choices
when is too much when?

modern kids will dig
light those sparklers and dance!
summer is now theirs
