The Lonsome West: Javelin - Canyon Candy


Wind-struck nothings welcome our dusty drunken dance
Candle's calm waver and crooning eyes bathe our skins
Momentarily we defeat the empty expanse of rugged yucca and tumbleweed
A whiskey bottle chaperones our hands as we lean into each other teetering in an ungraceful harmony
Til dawn

Das Rasist

So catchy and clever!

Connan Mockasin

This song is just wonderfully weird.

The Sandwitches

This video is older, but it doesn't mean that I like it any less. I'm declaring my opinion to be worthy of the internet, and my opinion is this; more people should listen to music like this.

Tame Impala

Don't know how I feel about the part with the dog, but I love this song enough to not think about it too hard.

Erosion

Sounds like an ocean, that ceaseless flow of highway vehicles not forty yards from bed.
Breaking the morning
Announcing industry and
Ever higher hurtling lives
Rushing for a
Varied yet unified end.
I know no size on this beach-front property;
Am I gargantuan,
Immoveable,
As ambitious waves erode my existence, molecule by molecule?
Or am I a pebble soon riding the rushing sound toward whimsy and finally
Oblivion?

What's the difference when contact comes only in waves.

Cover me again to blot out the sound.
Let light find
Evidence of my size by the wake
Of pebbles, granules and words remaining.

Sometimes Magic

The term magic irritates me a little. I can't help but think it's a term used by the indolent to explain an optical illusion or a sleight-of-hand. Why do I have to be such a judgmental Grinch about it? I hope I'm being shortsighted. Probably.

How else can you explain this...

St. Vincent - Surgeon (Accoustic)

Emotional response delivered digitally = magic?

PS: I saw her perform last night at the Boulder Theater and she was amazing. If you have not heard her new album, Strange Mercy you should go listen to it.
