Dueling cyclones jackknife.
They got eyes for your wife and the blood that lives in her heart.
Cast myself towards infinity.
Trust me, I had my reasons.
Had a dress for every season, it was worth it.
Pulled into town relatively free of hassle.
Secured a room at the castle, it paid for itself.
Checked out my surroundings, headed down to Thornton Park.
Find your way.
Discover that things are dark.
Shadowy figures babbling on about typical rural shit.
I wave bye to them in a modern way and increase my stay
At the dock of the bay.
Today begins my journey southward to visit family for three weeks. It's been a long time and I do miss them, but not enough to leave the computer at home. In fact, I will be bringing two. Plans include a stint at the beach; an afternoon with my father and Bill O'Reilly; and the usual disorienting nausea that accompanies these visits, as the city continues to grow uncontrollably beyond its means, recycling land space, erasing its history and discernible landmarks.
I also intend to put a good-sized dent in some of the planned projects for the official radio station website, as the recent creation of our first Web Department has allowed for such progress to take place. As this is something I have spent the last four years helping to fight for, I am both astounded and overjoyed at these recent developments. Additionally, my sister has broken ground on starting up a small business that she has been ruminating on for the past few years and I have offered to assist her in whatever way I can. This will likely include putting together a simple web presence for her, which also serves to ensure that much of my vacation will be spent in front of a computer screen, doing the same thing I do while I'm at home. To be honest, I have no objections.
More than anything, it will simply be good to be around family again. Mine is short in membership, simple and endearing. I have yet to meet our two newest additions (my mother and sister have each taken a new dog into their homes) and this reminds me that I am also excited to visit the animal shelter to meet all the new regulars and get a good fill of kitten therapy to start the fall semester off in the right frame of mind. As for my little guys, they will be greatly missed but well cared for by my grand army of loving friends (most notably, Telly and Megatron).
…To the roads!

Oh god, it's raining
But I'm not complaining
It's filling me up
With new life
The stars in the sky
Bring tears to my eyes
They're lighting my way
Tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
Just for a day
On a day like today
I'll get away from this
Constant debauchery
The wind in my hair
Makes me so aware
How good it is to live
Tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
But they're not like tonight
Oh god, it's raining
And I'm not containing
My pleasure at being
So wet
Here on my own
All on my own
How good it feels to be alone
Tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
When my eyes have been so red
I've been mistaken for dead
But not tonight

I'm laying on my back
She climbs over me
Pricks out her nails
Runs them over my proud belly
I'm a tired, hungry bear
Spoiled and sleepy
Her finger's on my zipper
She pulls it down slowly
I'm not ready
Turn over, settle down again
Throw her off
But she's back again
I've been out all night
Get in at dawn
And I've still got honey
Dripping from my claws
I'm a tired, hungry bear
Spoiled and sleepy
Her finger's on my zipper
She pulls it down slowly
I'm not ready
Turn over, settle down again
Throw her off
But she's back again

I've gotten myself immersed in the world of Boxer — the new album from the National. I've got Will to thank for dropping it in my stack. Having brought it home to review, and thus giving it several thorough listens, I've become quite enamored with it (as is likely evidenced by my last.fm charts for the week!). The National sound very similar to Tindersticks, so it is no surprise that their music gets behind my eyes and pushes the same buttons.
Here are some lyrics and a live video.

Tags • A Silver Mt. Zion, song lyrics
Dear brothers and sisters
dear enemies and friends
Why are we all so alone here
All we need is a little more hope, a little more joy
All we need is a little more light, a little less weight, a little more freedom.
If we were an army, and if we believed that we were an army
And we believed that everyone was scared like little lost children in their grown up clothes and poses
So we ended up alone here floating through long wasted days, or great tribulations.
While everything felt wrong
Good words, strong words, words that could've moved mountains
Words that no one ever said
We were all waiting to hear those words and no one ever said them
And the tactics never hatched
And the plans were never mapped
And we all learned not to believe
And strange lonesome monsters loafed through the hills wondering why
And it is best to never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever wonder why
So tangle - oh tangle us up in bright red ribbons!
Let's have a parade
It's been so long since we had a parade, so let's have a parade!
Let's invite all our friends
And all our friends' friends!
Let's promenade down the boulevards with terrific pride and light in our eyes
Twelve feet tall and staggering
Sick with joy with the angels there and light in our eyes
Brothers and sisters, hope still waits in the wings like a bitter spinster
Impatient, lonely and shivering, waiting to build her glorious fires
It's because of our plans man; our beautiful ridiculous plans
Let's launch them like careening jetplanes
Let's crash all our planes in the river
Let's build strange and radiant machines at this Jericho waiting to fall

The jewel, the prize
looking into your eyes
Cool pools drown your mind
What else will you find?
I heard a rumour - it was just a rumour
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
Myriad lights - they said I'd be impressed
Arabian Knights - at your primitive best
A tourist oasis
reflects in seedy sunshades
a monstrous oil tanker
it's wound bleeding in seas
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
Veiled behind screens
kept as your baby machine
Whilst you conquer more orifices
Of boys, goats and things
Ripped out sheep's eyes - no forks or knives
Myriad lights - they said I'd be impressed
Arabian Knights - at your primitive best

By far, the best lyrics I've heard in a long, long time
_______________________________
see the people sitting over there
i want to kiss and touch them everywhere
oh no, not because i really care
oh god, no , no, i wouldn’t dare
love, love
i’d really like a small part of it
oh love
i cant believe the word love
he’s had love in damp alleys
in city hall, in city libraries
we smoked it underneath the playground
slide
why did i try ?
oh love
we cry so very much about it
oh love
obsessing in the night about it
oh love
i’d really like a small part of it
oh love, love , love
okay , that’s enough of that
okay, okay now that’s enough of that
i’m getting very tired of the facts
i’m getting very tired of the fact that
i must be right
oh, it must be right
that’s why i,m cold and alone again
that’s why i’m all on my own again
that’s why i’m throwing things around my
home again
that’s why
i’m looking for love

When mute tongues can speak
And relate their need
I make fun of skins laying in a dark room
In a piglet’s eye
If the dream had wings
Then the nest of feathers could freeze without them
I never knew how to fear correctly
When we were seven we would hit directly
By some misgiving that you dealt ineptly
All was forgiven when you knelt to help me
See the boy of smiles
With the teardrop shape
Shuddering and crying with the wind knocked from him
And the kids just stare
"Is this guy for real?"
Some mistakes are all too apparent
It’s nothing personal, just a lousy memory
Dissected birds are my adopted family
I pool myself until I see anemones
All was forgiven when you knelt to help me
In a can of boys
Across a crowd of thorns
Everyone is laughing, all expenses painful
Windbreaker is torn
Friendly tree has scars
Experience is necessary to be normal
I never knew how to fear correctly
When we were seven we would hit directly
By some misgiving that you dealt ineptly
All was forgiven when you knelt to help me
It’s me…
