You still have your grace
Sometimes, only one thing will do. And that thing is to listen to Batrider. I dont know if you know of these guys, they are the scariest band ever. Im listening to their They Said You're Hideous EP of 2005, and whilst im not really as messed up as their target audience, at least they spell it the fuck out for you.
"We at batrider feel a great empathy with your feelings of unsettled envy and irrational torment. We know what its like to have pimples, pointy breasts, bad breath, no talent, fat thighs, ugly hair, weird shaped heads, uncool clothes, no boyfriend, slicing hangovers, post alcohol depression, unfortunate stammers, nothing funny to say, scars, ebarrasing adolescenses, vast sexual histories, glass eyes, stray female whiskers, unruly bikini lines, filthy socks, smelly groins, dihorrea, low IQ scores, no money, bad debts, no friends, brushes with the law, syllin secrets, unexplained rejection, friends you are ashamed of, friends who are ashamed of you, anger problems, warts, allulite billabong t-shirts, linkin park albums, thrush discharge, boils, ingrown hairs, burning sensations, friends you try to sleep with, humiliating employment... We know what its like to have to leave the party with a sweater tied around your waist, to try too hard and never quite feel cool enough."
As wonderfully LJ as that statement might be, its the tracks like 'Vulture' and 'Swamp Thang' that really touch that inner deep seated sense on not belonging and not being quite ok about everything. Kind of droney, but more in the Sonic Youth than the Sun o))) sense, Batrider are totally perfect for a week that hasnt gone exactly to plan. Whilst virtually everything has been a disapointment, at least its on the up for the weekend.
Come to The Clare this Sat night, im djing between 10-11, and theres other cool cats on the bill, like Mad Cow, Dazed & Flawlezz, 3-2-Mafia and Jmez, and some guy from The Avalanchers ;)
I probably wont bust out any Batrider, but be assured, my music will still be dope...
