a single stroke of identity
where abandon and barren meet
and shake your stick at the devil and come at me
like a rock-n-roll record
pressed from the good one, the first one
beat my mind like a martyr
across waves of your wretched red water
don't drink the water like I do
convinced it's safe
a "no smoking" sign
a haunted silver lining
watch how it changes your mind
I don't want to say a word
I haven't said a goddamn thing
so fucking unsure
beside the sea, underneath the melody
I'd rather be the rabbit
jump into the fire
as soon as explain it
out on the east coast like rain on your raincoat
if you throw it away you'll never see it again
and lovers with different faces
a wet cast of human figures
reach down to something you missed
while the angel fingers her list
and waits in the colored light
motion across the colored light
decipher the stain-glass
who said "I do not want to die here alone again"
so go ahead and burn when no one's watching
just know I'm burning in the other end
and if I saw that asshole I'd rip an asshole anew
but I don't leave the house so who cares what I'd do
and if we cross the line here where would it end
my reply is lacking suspense
I'm in no mood for your dumb joke
patience plummets the closer I get to dead-broke
I'd rather be the rabbit
jump into the fire
as soon as explain it
out on the east coast like rain on your raincoat
if you throw it away you'll never see it again
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
