washington dc – Auditory Dérive

now if i think of a joke when i say goodbye
i put my palms on my face and pretend to cry
but i’ll laugh too fucking hard, you probably think i’m so mean
but i don’t even know you!

100 gecs – mememe (10,000 gecs, 2023)

some kind of verb, some kind of moving thing
something unseen, some hand is motioning
to rise, to rise, to rise

Soul Coughing – Super Bon Bon (Irresistible Bliss, 1996)

head. low. chin. up. blow the station up, show the nation up
situations abrupt corrupt reactions, so good fucking luck
hold tongue for passions when you get stuck
we’ve just begun to smash up the snare drum
that’s distracting the flare gun sound
but now i see clearly the scared ones run
darkness to night, it gets done

Rustic Overtones – C’mon (Viva Nueva, 2001)

he’s gonna win the race
with his six-string bass
he’s gonna summon the hounds now
here they come now, without a souuuuuuund!

Deep Dark United – Ultimatum (Fools!, 2002)

spent a long time looking for a game to play
my love should be so bad now, to turn out this way

Jethro Tull — A New Day Yesterday (Stand Up, 1969)

planted seeds in silence and granted meek compliance
and in the spring rain exploded in a riot
of color and excitement, wearing no disguises
declaring to the stars that we trek like enterprises

Flobots — Circle in the Square (Circle in the Square, 2012)
