Dig! Day!
In Honor of the fourth day of Chanukah, I am dedicating this post to the wonderfully and beautifully awesome Natalie and her quirky obsession with anything to do with Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Fave lyrics from the Jonestown...
THE DEVIL MAY CARE (my mom and dad don't)
(Anton wrote this on New Year's Eve by himself...)
say goodbye to mom and dad
the two best friends i never had
to be knowing where i'm going,
how about you?
give them all my love so much
i promise that i'll stay in touch
if i know where i am going
so will you
(and you too)
i've thought about so many things
it only complicates my dreams
it's keeping me from knowing what to do
got to go i'm losing touch
i think about you way too much
it's keeping me from knowing me or you
(or you)
from lovely Anton
newcombe/newcombe
give it back
TAKE IT FROM THE MAN
(I dedicate this song to all the people who want to move to Canada for political and personal **cough cough** reasons...Damn the Man and Save the Empire!!!)
it's just like i said
they're fucking with your head
you ain't safe in your bed
or even when your dead
they're out to school you
so they can rule you
they try to fool you
or just get to you
and i seen it coming down
so i headed out of town
because i'm quick like that
i seen them on tv
they even look like me
they swear they'll set me free
but that can't really be
but i know it's coming down
so i'm headed out of town
because i'm quick like that
always bounce right back
stupid magazines
sell you useless things
silly as it seems
they even steal your dreams
and i know it's coming down
so i'm headed out of town
cause i'm quick like that
never coming back
man i feel it coming down
so i'm heading far from town
cause i'm smart like that
never going back
live my life for slack
newcombe/newcombe
take it from the man
SPUN
(this song is so pertinent to current situations that it hurts...)
that boy who made you low
that boy don't even know
the boy caused you pain
that boys got shit for brains
had to let you know
i really don't even
know what i know
you're my sunshine
you're my sunshine
sad girl, don't lose your faith
your tears are pretty diamonds
i'll kiss them off your face
i love to see you smiling
had to let you know
i had to let you know
your my sunshine
just when you thought
that there couldn't be more
i can turn out the lights
and i'll show you it all
i can take you to Heaven before the sun comes up
it's the way that you smile
when your talking to me
when i lost all my faith
you just made me believe
and i'll tell you all about it
yeah
get up closer to me
cause i feel like i've been spinning round and round.

I couldn't wait long enough..... Sorry Natalie! Check out my new store online peeps! Those of you who are blissfully cool are going to freak out....
Hmmm... what else?
Oh yeah! I've begun the process of selling out.... Check out Horse Pills, Bohemian Like You, Godless, Shakin, and Sleep. I love sleep. MMMmm.... only 5 hours last night....
And to end the night with a wonderful quote from my lunch time drive:
"I didn't have the nerve to be a criminal, so I became a writer instead..."
-on being Italian and growing up around the mob....cited from a 1997 NPR interview with Mario Puzo
