Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing really nothing to turn off
Just Louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind.
In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the D-train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's insane
Louise she's all right she's just near
She's delicate and seems like veneer
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place.
Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
Oh, how can I explain ?
It's so hard to get on
And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeez
I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel.
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Saying, "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"
But like Louise always says
"Ya can't look at much, can ya man "
As she, herself prepares for him
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.

I Don't Skate On Eyeballs Or The Biology Of Erections
I Don't Skate On Eyeballs Or The Biology Of Erections
and then the next day i find out that he had to leave the bar drunk after a half an hour or so and the soap we watched was so stupid it is just nuts for everyone is going randomly nuts for no reason but to entertain those soap viewers who have no understanding of nuts and i will call
my alternative music bar offensive so i can tell people who complain about the music that they can go to any other bar in dublin if they dont want
to be offended by the music thank you very lethal stop the show by built to spill and the imaginings it caused me made me writhe this and the modern
guilt album by beck has grown on me considerably isnt music so fucking amazing i cant imagine a more amazing art form when the biology of erections
is misinterpreted by the millions of 90% of humans who would like to hate other humans for the erections biology that afflicts themselves but the
others are willing to not conceal because they have decided not to be guilty mentally for a physical continuum she is always raising life altering
subjects for that the rest of us shy away from in people who love this music who have nowhere else to go whereas you have 7980 other places to go so
what do you advise me to do and i download every single album that gets a good review anywhere in the worldwide web and i listen to it for myself

The Sensitive Cocks
The Sensitive Cocks
the sensitive cocks are very excited today
it is because their new album is hitting the web servers
i am the euphoric bastard of uncivilised nations
fran can disco dance all night long with a hula hoop stuck in her talismantra
thomas or jeff told me to question with boldness the existence of a god
who must approve the homage of reason rather than of blind-folded fear
and to not be frightened from this inquiry by any fear of its consequences
gay rights - whats so exciting about frogs that has ewes all in a tizz
sobriety is for wasters said the croatian poets pet to the office worker
those who waste the time of their lives instead of
living each day as if it is their last fast
thats what i call appreciation stroke optimisation
if you have to ask me about tantrics ex lover or how
paul pots plants for a solipsistic living
the difficult people of the world have joined forces
with the most thoughtful friend in tallaght to bring you peas
the lack of fruit on the apple tree has rendered it implausible
please please please let me get what tolstoy thought unnatural this time
the refractory period caused a gradual lowering of the object
merrily merrily rotate the nipple stimulation to outward formaldehyde and sew on and sew fifth

Pitchfork Does It Again - Hilarious
If you can make an album that is the aural equivalent of watching paint dry then Pitchfork will give you a score of 7.5 out of ten.
"The angle of the sun changes, and with it the quality of the light. It's actually that last bit that is closest to the experience Dunn provides on his best extended works. If you were to watch the same spot on the ground all day, its appearance would vary greatly over time, but not in such a way that you'd register the changes as distinct moments when something was suddenly different."
"It may seem as though I'm comparing listening to his music to watching paint dry (and to some people, that's probably what the glacially shifting 17-minute drone "Butel" will seem like), but it really is interesting, involving music for fans of ambient drone."
The conclusion to be drawn from this is that to this reviewer - watching paint dry is interesting and involving.
I must run out and buy this album.
On second thoughts, I will put my ears beside my fridge for an hour.

You are never in love with anyone - Anthony De Mello
"You are never in love with anyone. You're only in love with your prejudiced and hopeful idea of that person. Take a minute to think about that:
You are never in love with anyone, you're in love with your prejudiced idea of that person.
Isn't that how you fall out of love? Your idea changes, doesn't it?
"How could you let me down when I trusted you so much?" you say to someone.
Did you really trust them?
You never trusted anyone.
You only trust your judgment about that person.
So what are you complaining about?
The fact is that you don't like to say, "My judgment was lousy."
That's not very flattering to you, is it?
So you prefer to say, "How could you have let me down?"

Losing My Edge by LCD Soundsystem
To all of those people I have met who are full of bullshit and never did a creative thing.
You exaggerate and take over conversations and have a know-it-all opinion on everything.
Well, guess what? You are unaware of your unawareness.
Thanks.
The kids are coming up from behind.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge to the kids from France and from London.
But I was there.
I was there in 1968.
I was there at the first Can show in Cologne.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks.
I'm losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978.
I'm losing my edge.
To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin.
I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties.
But I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge, but I was there.
I was there.
But I was there.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge.
I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks.
But I was there.
I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City.
I was working on the organ sounds with much patience.
I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band.
I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime."
I was there.
I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids.
I played it at CBGB's.
Everybody thought I was crazy.
We all know.
I was there.
I was there.
I've never been wrong.
I used to work in the record store.
I had everything before anyone.
I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan.
I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes.
I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988.
But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.
And they're actually really, really nice.
I'm losing my edge.
I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s.
I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.
I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars.

You don't know what you really want. (x15)
You exaggerate and take over conversations and have a know-it-all opinion on everything.
Well, guess what? You are unaware of your unawareness.
Thanks.
Yeah, I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge.The kids are coming up from behind.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge to the kids from France and from London.
But I was there.
I was there in 1968.
I was there at the first Can show in Cologne.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks.
I'm losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978.
I'm losing my edge.
To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin.
I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties.
But I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge, but I was there.
I was there.
But I was there.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge.
I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks.
But I was there.
I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City.
I was working on the organ sounds with much patience.
I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band.
I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime."
I was there.
I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids.
I played it at CBGB's.
Everybody thought I was crazy.
We all know.
I was there.
I was there.
I've never been wrong.
I used to work in the record store.
I had everything before anyone.
I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan.
I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes.
I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988.
But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.
And they're actually really, really nice.
I'm losing my edge.
I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s.
I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.
I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars.
I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know.
