10.29.11 | Massive props for that Okkervil album - it's so good.

10.30.11 | Townes Van Zandt:
"Mother was a golden girl
I slit her throat just to get her pearls
cast myself into a whirl
before a bunch of swine"
"I've always been a gambling man
I've rolled them bones with either hand
seven is the promised land
early in the morning"
"When she had twenty years she turned to her mother
saying Mother, I know that you'll grieve
but I've given my soul to St John the gambler
tomorrow comes time leave
for the hills cannot hold back my sorrow forever
and dead men lay deep 'round the door
the only salvation that's mine for the asking
so mother, think on me no more"
"So one by one we died alone
some by hunger, some by steel
Bodies froze where they did fall
their souls unsanctified
Until only another and I were left
then just before his flame did fail
We shone ourselves brothers-in-arms
to serve the holy king"
"I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known
I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven
but my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and
said my friend, we're holdin' a wedding
I buried my face but it spoke once again
the night to the day we're a bindin'
and now the dark air is like fire on my skin
and even the moonlight is blinding"

10.30.11 | "Rody Walker (Kezia's lyrics are outstanding)" I agree, but Arif (bassist) wrote the lyrics for Kezia
and Fortress, he handed it off to Rody for Scurrilous which was a huge mistake.

Bandido
10.30.11 | I'm gonna go with:
Alex Turner, Arctic Monkeys - He's a damn clever lyricist
Andy Hull, Manchester Orchestra - Just writes some beautful stuff
Matt Embree, RX Bandits - Writes really crazy poetry type stuff and also some really emotional stuff
Andre 3000, Outkast - In my opinion, the greatest hip hop lyricist I've ever heard |
