The Walkmen – You and Me [2008]

He was just wandering through the city today. There was nothing he had to do  for anyone, nothing on his mind, his headphones on he went out the door and  started walking towards the bus stop. The same voice he’d heard all month  starts singing to him again. The guy is talking about parties and beaches and  dancing to the tom-toms, it sounds like a waltz. He met a girl there but she  was married, so… Is this year better than the last one? He gets on the first  bus that comes along, pushed by the echoing guitar that tells him it’s OK to  loiter. He finds a free seat by the window and looks at the sky. He hears the  guy singing about the decades flying by.  “I’ve been doing this for awhile”,  he whispers to himself. The sky looks cloudy but it’s better that way. “It’s  gonna be a good year. Out of the darkness and into the fire”

Vivian Girls – s/t [2008]

Hi there. I am currently free from the burden of employment. As such I have lots of spare time, which I spend sat on a chair, with music blasting into my ears and radiation slowly burning my eyes away. From time to time I sip coffee, in an effort to prolong this behavior. As a consequence, I think I might have developed ADD. This prevents me from reading more than a few sentences in the span of 60 seconds and listening to songs longer than three minutes in a single session. Remember the ‘60s, when every song was at most three minutes long? Man, those were the days; too bad Bob Dylan went and ruined it for everyone with an awesome organ riff.
