lyrics
A steady pulsing blinking red
Black out shades on the windowpane
In this room I established
a space where time does not exist
I guess that's technically the universe
But I don't want to know
I don't want to know
what time it is
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
what time it is
Little 12:00 on the microwave
Some time when I was away
I guess the power went out when I wasn't around
When I was in Alaska I wouldn't have asked you
'cause I knew the answer wouldn't have mattered
but now that I'm home I already know
that I don't want to know
I don't want to know
what time it is
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
what time it is
When I close my eyes, slowly breathe, clear my mind, I'm trying to believe
that if I can't see you you can't see me
That's how it ought to be
So I keep peeking out nervously, turning 'round, acting like I didn't see
Well, it shouldn't matter much to me
Some call it destiny
Little 12:00 on the VCR
It's best to keep you in the dark
Nothing new, I can rely on you
Inequipped for Y2K
Still thinks it's 1998
I couldn't bear to break the news
'cause you don't want to know
You don't want to know
what time it is
You don't want to know
You don't want to know
what time it is
So I close my eyes, slowly breathe, clear my mind, trying to believe
that it doesn't matter much to me

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.

Fingers Crossed
by Flavored CardboardYour review is public. Writing something brief but thoughtful here can help win you new fans as surely as writing “me like” can ensure they write you off. 200 characters remaining

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

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
