lyrics
and in case that we forget
I think we should carve our itinerary
on this dead tree
Tied some logs together
But now there's stormy waters
Too late for the rest of us
to turn back, save yourself
And in 20 years, they'll find you there
Sitting at the bottom of the hill
Nothing will tell and they'll wonder for years
what had happened when their backs were turned
Mr. Raleigh, it's all gone
And this was the second one
Maybe we should focus more
on the land that surrounds
Scoured your lost colony
Found some guns and jewelry
Think it's time to auction them off to
their family members back home
And in 20 years, you'll still be there
Sitting at the top of the bloody bloody tower
Nothing will tell and they'll wander for years
while you're right there as their backs were turned
And in 20 years, they'll find me here
Suffocated under a hardwood table
Nothing will tell except hundreds of books
Marble lions standing strong and stern
and the doorknob in the back won't turn

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
