there's somewhere I am supposed to be
the heart goes to the surgeon, wrist-deep
handling the edges precise
his mind on preventing the secret police
and a pulse pumps
deep blood
cross your fingers for
your savior
while men question what it takes
men that were around my age one time
blown into a vacuum
empty and clawing space
erupting delusion
division and the human race
you'd think we'd be happy
that we were actually born free
the sky is no father of mine
burning in hell, guilty of thought-crime
my nomad heart dreams
my bliss seems to be
dying in Mexico, woven into the seams of my lifeline
all in due time
for now I'll stick around
nobody wants to work for Mickey anymore
a stolen magazine from the drug store
reminds this isn't some brief place to be
this is my name and my eternity
in the kitchen my shadow whines
in the fire my left hand throws fireflies
salt of the earth doesn't help you go down
suspended in the shade of a small town
my nomad heart dreams
my bliss seems to be
dying in Mexico, woven into the seams of my lifeline
all in due time
for now I'll stick around

One of my favorite albums ever, it continues to get me through shit that I'm dealing with. It's hard to have a favorite with J Mascis but this one is mine. Jesse Davis
Tony Castles I can't find much on, but from what I have found he is vastly underrated. This album speaks for itself, it's flawless and beautiful and very valuable to me. Jesse Davis
"oove is rare" is a special album. I keep going back to it over and over again--- the lyrics are effortless yet profound and honest. Comforting and yet piercing. I really like this one. Jesse Davis
Killer tunes from teen indie rocker Ollie Cook, who has an ear for a smart riff and an eye for sharply imagistic observation. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 23, 2022
