The Best Matchup Ever

This video was shown to me by my friend Pat a couple months ago. I wanted to do a post on it but had forgotten until now. From the band Arcade Fire, the song is "My body is a cage" which is the last track on their album Neon Bible. I had loved the song and the entire album before I saw this video- this just adds another amazing element to it. I'm not sure of the name of the original movie- someone give me a shout out if you know what film these clips are taken from! If you don't listen to Arcade Fire, maybe now you will, I sure hope so.

A Sneak Peak!

Here's a video of me doing a tune from my upcoming album! This is from a long time ago, one late night when I was a guest on my friend Sam Schacter's radio show. The video quality is not that great but I thought it would be cool to show some of whats to come. The tune on my album will sound much different but the general progression and lyrics are the same- the rest you'll just have to wait and find out about for yourself...

here's the lyrics to "Iodine"

you had a lot of faith
but you're walking away from it
your city's big
I never got used to it
you're a China doll
in a sea full of mines and blunt objects
you're a wishing wall
laziest days full of unfinished projects

all we know, on our feet
it hurts our feet when we walk away
and if things don't change we'll be walking away again

at the sink
wash the worlds dishes you swallow your pride
its unsettling
you might have lived cause somebody died
if you give it up
nothing more than a shadow tucked under a light
you're a ticking bomb
a mixture of chlorine and iodine

all we know, hands and knees
it hurts them please, don't crawl away
all we get is a look at days
mistakes we made and bread we wasted
and if things don't change we'll be crawling away again

all we know, on our backs
the books are stacked and slowly falling
all we get is the spit we make
don't tell me about breaks that will never happen
if things don't change we'll be running away, if things don't change we'll be running away and if things don't change we'll be running away from it.

Goodbye Blue Monday, Hello Good Brooklyn

Everyone in the NYC area should check out Goodbye blue Monday in Brooklyn! Great atmosphere, great vibe, great food, and cheap PBR tall boys. Don't even get me started on their backyard scene- GO AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. I'm playing there again on April 24th at midnight, always a killer time. The Brooklyn music scene is on the up and up, and it takes attendees to make it so- so come get drunk and see a show. There is a great record collection and lots of other goodies for sale, come hang.
