But that would change the context;
And you wouldn't want that would you?
What if i feigned the pretext?
And indexed it all black and blue

It's a bad day for Suicide Patrol...
This post is about the new Dye Corduroy single "Suicide Patrol" - if you're looking for actual suicide intervention, please contact your local police & request them to start a faction that would be ever vigilant and on patrol to equate the literal purpose of the song title. Otherwise, tune in...
The song tries to capture the moment between feeling invincible &
inconsolably doomed. The shadowboxing central character in first person is on the precipice of oblivion where the misery of his might & his racing pulse collides. Spoiler alert: In the end, it's a bad day
for Suicide Patrol.
From the upcoming record: Here Beside the Decoy

Stolen guitar amps & marked subway spots...
Things keeping the boat afloat of late:
~ Stealing guitar amps. (will it work?? the burning question remains... watch this space)
^ Marking exact spots on the subway so the train drops you off next to the stairs/exit.
! Falling asleep in the train 5 minutes before the last stop.
{ Rediscovering Josh Ritter's excellent record Animal Years.
` Helping ishay/meeshu crack the back of the boards.
/ Revelling in Anais Mitchell's record Hymns for the Exiled.
^ Paraphrasing reveries.
` Waiting for the PJ Twenty 1080p rip.
~ Rejuvenating the Dye Corduroy Sound-Cloud page and this very blog.
` Stocking up on the FLAC's - lossless music is the way to go. If you're nice, I'd let you borrow some...
Meh.

Small Blue Things...
Two absolute apt & darling little ditties to warm up the icy sound-waves
Aboslute restrained blistering bouts of infectious indie sensibilities, a semi-epic clocking in at just above 7 minutes.
Fixing an eye on the hopeful/In a heartless room you'll be done soon
The snow is falling down/And the whole damn town is covered with white
It's obvious that trust is the catch and the magnet/ That could pull you through this braille night
Where nothing's free and you just can't see/How to sacrifice what you need to be
The snow is falling down/And the whole damn town is covered with white
It's obvious that trust is the catch and the magnet/ That could pull you through this braille night
Where nothing's free and you just can't see/How to sacrifice what you need to be
About the female voice of the band: Elizabeth Mitchell is an American singer, composer, and guitarist for the New York indie band Ida[1]. While a student at Brown University, Mitchell performed as a duo with fellow class of 1990 classmate Lisa Loeb, called Liz and Lisa. Mitchell sang backup on Lisa Loeb's first hit, "Stay (I Missed You)", which topped the charts from the soundtrack to Reality Bites.

And ofcourse Suzanne Vega's return to brilliance, her re-interpretations of classic dwindling eclectic folk brilliance... for people who have understood the evolution of alternative and viable AND the kiddies out there discovering the joy of indie, give this dittie a spin and grab the record.
I am cold against your skin
You are perfectly reflected
I am lost inside your pocket
I am lost against your fingers
I am falling down the stairs
I am skipping on the sidewalk
I am thrown against the sky
I am raining down in pieces
I am scattering like light…
You are perfectly reflected

From the official website www.suzannevega.com
Suzanne Vega reinterprets her best-loved songs in imaginative and intimate renderings The first of 4 CDs in Suzanne’s Close-Up Series. Vol. 1: Love Songs includes: "Marlene on the Wall," "Caramel," "Gypsy" and "Small Blue Thing."
"These are songs that I have written over the years and now re-recorded. I wanted to give you, the listener, a small sort of gift These are the songs I consider love songs, although they are also songs of attraction, flirtation, and confrontation. Thanks for listening."
With Love,
SUZANNE

Whats up with Swedes and indie-pop brilliance? Jeebus
This band reminds me of the Magic Numbers with a more obvious raw indierawk crunchy folk-pop feel... numnums!
Consume... concur.
The Sweet Serenades - Balcony Cigarettes
The Sweet Serenades - On My Way
(reminds me of a much more poppier strokes?)
(reminds me of a much more poppier strokes?)
HIGHLY INFECTIOUS to ALL humans and most apes.
"Open up the gates and just let it flow... oh... Come Closer..."
"Tell me baybeh where you been soo lawng?"
Quoting another site: "The Sweet Serenades was officially formed in Stockholm, Sweden 2002. The sound is mainly influenced by great songs, broken hearts, sexual frustration and musical acts as Tom Waits, Clap your hands say yeah, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, ACDC, Eddie Meduza, ABBA, The Technicolors, The Perishers, The Shins and many more. We call it Jungle Rock. Or testosterone Pop."
