Patron Saint of Bridge Burners new album isn’t as good as I thought it would be.

The lyricism, technique and production has improved, but man, doesn’t have the emotional power of Sorry.

I was worried about this; clearly I need to have another bad breakup. But seriously give it a listen anyway, this is the best I can do while not simultaneously wanting to kill myself.

Edit: I thought I’d add that I completely agree. I listened to some more new music and none of what I’ve made is anywhere near what I want it to be. I’ve been listening to lots of Phil Elverum and Jordaan Mason and the Horse Museum, and I think I really need to dig in deeper to make something I can really be proud of.

People don’t want to hear you sing about the shitty world, they just want you to sing about your shitty relationships.

Seriously, I prefer NWAASOB to Sorry., I find it more rounded and overall a more intense listening experience. ‘Symphorophilia’ is my jam.

On a sunny August day, much like any other day,
soaring overhead America the Brave’s
a tiny little airplane called Enola Gay
performed both its first and final air raid.
It dropped a bomb called Little Boy
that killed ten thousand little boys in a flash
and in time killed a quarter million more.
Then my teacher taught me they flew to Nagasaki
to show those nameless Japanese what for.
To this day we justify the use of weapons that vaporised
a hundred thousand innocents in the blink of an eye.

This is how we know
those guns aren’t just for show.

This machine is flesh and blood and bones
so break the bones and rip the flesh
and spill the blood they stole,
smash their crowns and let the heads roll!

Oklahoma! Oklahoma!

On a sunny August day, much like any other day,
in the just nation America the Brave
the FBI got the green light to shoot on sight.
They’d killed Weaver’s son and then they killed his wife.
Then that sniper showed up next in Waco, Texas
to shoot another crazy fuck named David Koresh.
His followers all died in the ensuing blaze,
only some of the children managed to escape.
It was just another day for Timothy McVeigh
when he lit that fuse and blew more innocents away.

He couldn’t let it go,
he wanted them to know.

This machine is flesh and blood and bones
so break the bones and rip the flesh
and spill the blood they stole,
smash their crowns and let the heads roll!

Oklahoma! Oklahoma! Oklahoma!
Oklahoma! Oklahoma!

I will send my fear before thee,
and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come,
and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs onto thee.

They’ll say that I went peacefully,
that my heart just simply stopped beating,
but the reality is we all die
crying and kicking and screaming

Bo Peep Do Ti do the Hale Bopp. We rented out a mansion down in Rancho, Santa Fe, and we waited for the ship to come and take us all away so that we could advance to a transhuman state and look down upon this poisoned earth from heaven’s gate. “We do in all honesty hate this world” we chanted as the comet hurled. Black pants, shirts, athletic shoes, a five and three quarters for the toll. We’ll find another mansion at our empyrean destination, and all have flyer forms of flying transportation that will take us all across the sea of stars; far, far as far can be. A better place awaits in heaven’s gate.

So throw me a line,
somebody out there help me.
I’m on my own,
I’m on my own.

Throw me a line.
Afraid that I have come here
to win you again
with trembling hands.

I am digging iTunes’ new layout. Pretty colours!

Farther along we’ll know all about it
Farther along we’ll understand why
Cheer up my sister, live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it all by and by
