lyrics
Hanging light pendulates between us
I think you too are cuffed to your chair
I don't see either of us going anywhere
Which of us will crack first, crack first, which of us will?
Who's gonna get to the bottom of who?
which of us will crack first, crack first, who's gonna spill?
I feel it coming in a second or two
I need a second or third to process
how unlikely it is you confess
But I think I saw it in the way that you blink
and I think I heard it in the way that you think
Which of us will crack first, crack first, which of us will?
Who's gonna get to the bottom of who?
which of us will crack first, crack first, who's gonna spill?
I feel it coming in a second or two
'cause I'm twice or thrice as lucid in this moment with you
and I no longer control the things my brain's gonna do
and I'm holding out on hoping that the same is gonna happen to you
I tore my case notes in twain and thrain
and I watched you take yours and do the same
Do you dare me to go on the record?
Do you dare me?
Which of us will crack first, crack first, which of us will?
Who's gonna get to the bottom of who?
which of us will crack first, crack first, who's gonna spill?
I feel it coming in a second or two
'cause I'm twice or thrice as lucid in this moment with you
and I no longer control the things my brain's gonna do
and I'm holding out on hoping that the same is gonna happen to you

Vile Tyrant and the Middle Men
by Naeemah MaddoxThis is probably the best rock record of the 10s, Naeemah shreds on guitar, flute, violin AND vocals and her melodies go to incredible places

The Cashmere Cassette
by Carol Cleveland SingsThomas of Carol Cleveland Sings graciously allowed me to use the first verse from his song "Blink At Surprise" in the song "Target." Fine frenetic bedroom pop, the nicest Geoff you'll ever meet.

I go back and forth about which song I like best from this album, but No Eyed Girl is like....just an eternal bop. Big love for the bassline

Songs for Pierre Chuvin
by The Mountain Goatssupported by 4 fans who also own “Can't Turn It Off”
This is the best album of 2020. I'm glad I have it in digital format, because I would have utterly worn out any physical format. John's subject matter is always personal, but in this album, he somehow makes the epic personal. He tells the story of the death of the ancient world in this light I've never really considered it in. He makes this random segment of late antiquity somehow unsettlingly relevant to 2020. It's an album of change, of entropy, but also of defiance, of hope. PRESS AN LP <3
