The Rural Alberta Advantage – Hometowns
Canned charisma will still fill you up.
(new thing: album links go to stream location. I’ll do this when it’s available)
$6.00 worth of pipe-cut Norwegian Shag from Pipes, Ltd @ the mall vs about $10.00 worth of American Spirit from wherever:
Rock Plaza Central – …At the Moment of Our Most Needing, or If Only They Could Turn Around, They Would Know They Weren’t Alone
Fuck Wilco. Who cares about a new Wilco album. This album makes me fall down.
I mistook an afternoon for an alligator.
I mistook my name for a drink and drank it up.
I mistook her hair for my longing.
I mistook my waking for some legendary harrow,
streaming water down its back.
These mistakes were easy to bear when I was fifteen years old
and twenty feet tall and twenty five years old.
I mistook this morning for a joke about tomorrow.
I mistook the frown on papa’s brow for luck,
folded like paper and secreted away for when I am fifty years old
and nine feet tall and thirty years old.
Easy mistakes, easy as summer powdered and stirred
into a golden tea poured by a tidy chinaman who likes me.
""even as we speak the Dirty Creature springs a nasty surprise...""
