What album are you listening to right now?

come on feel the lemonheads is probably there second best imo. i always think it funny that people also forget the first phase of the band with the other singer songwriter as they made some cool albums (three i think). one of my best shows was seeing them at the black cat funny enough once owned by dave grohl. outdoor type and hospital are so singable and that voice good god that voice just resonates. neat guy the as hes the son of a lawyer and a model though people dont remember that when they look at him. his only flaw is that sometimes hes trying way way to hard to be paul westerberg who is up there with morrissey imo in terms of magic and lyrics songwritting. hes more personal than morrissey but just as creative and sensitive in a lot of ways (sometimes a little more so). on that note, how awesome are the replacements anyone? im sure fred likes them but some other might want to give them a spin if they like the lemonheads at all but want even better songs albums lyrics.

everyone who likes the lemonheads should really go out and pick up a copy of his solo album baby im bored as its beyond description in some ways. totally his best musical effort i think.
 
listened to a bunch of lemonheads stuff today, me and my imaginary friend, and was tempted to post big gay heart but thought it to on the mark for here. i will say that morrissey would do a great version of into your arms though of course its a cover as well. still. decided on this instead.

breathe carolina - dont go down by the water
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruppgbxZOhQ

the words:

"What's another burned bridge?
Does it matter?
You weren't there, why do you care?
End the chapter
Loose talk is the enemy of laughter
Light up my cigarette and wait for disaster

I wish there was a way to give it all away
From the hole where my heart used to be
Just believe me

Don't go play by the water
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back
Don't go looking for answers
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back
Tried to warn you
You didn't listen
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back
Don't go looking for answers
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back

Back to the lake where I disposed of my body
Parts of me she is resurfacing
And I, I just don't understand
Why's she gotta talk so much
And I'm so tired of telling lies
Oh, I wanna go back
Rewind

I wish there was a way to give it all away
from the hole where my heart used to be
Just believe me

Don't go play by the water
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back
Don't go looking for answers
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back
Tried to warn you
You didn't listen
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back
Don't go looking for answers
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back

There's no use in bringing up the past
No need to see where I've been
We can find a silver lining
See the best in all the worst things
We can find a silver lining
See the best in all the worst things

Don't go play by the water
Don't go looking for answers

Don't go play by the water
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back
Don't go looking for answers
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back
Tried to warn you
You didn't listen
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back
Don't go looking for answers
They say you won't come back
Don't go, you won't come back"

the words:

"I want a heart tattoo
I want it to hurt really bad
That's how I'll know
I'll know it's real
A real tattoo

I wanna say "what's up dad?"
Who knows how you'd feel about that
What do you want me to say?
It's never going away
My heart tattoo

That's what I'll
That's what I'll do
I'll get a heart
A heart tattoo

I want a heart tattoo
I'll never get it removed
That's how I'll know
I'll know it's real
A real tattoo

I know that it looks bad
But it's the only one I have
What do you want me to say?
It's never going away
My heart tattoo

That's what I'll
That's what I'll do
I'll get a heart
A heart tattoo

A heart tattoo

A heart tattoo
(I know that it looks bad)
A heart tattoo

brian - you dont want a boyfriend (this song is gorgeous and ive lived it so many times)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsyLm1Se_20

the words:

"You don't want a boyfriend
With sloppy kisses.
You don't want a boyfriend
Who'll put up with you.
Sit and be impatient every day.
Scream and shout and sulk and make him (marry?)
You don't want a boyfriend
Who can't resist you.
You don't want a boyfriend
Who's honest with you
I've heard it said before, and I find it's true
The more you give yourself away to someone
The less they'll think--
You don't want a boyfriend
And that's forever.
You don't want a boyfriend
You could do better
I've heard it said before and I find it's true
The more you give yourself away to someone
The less they'll think of you.
Baby, baby, you're leaving me.
It wasn't about you.
It wasn't about you.
Baby, you're hurting me.
It wasn't about you.
It wasn't about you.
Baby, baby, you're leaving me.
It wasn't about you,
It wasn't about you, &c."
 
nice with the choking victim so ill counter with operation ivy (the first test run for the atomic bomb i believe)


operation ivy (americas last real hardcore band you could argue)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkczwPsXBOA

the words:

"wrenched into the world
deanaesthetized
Blurry images fight their way through halfway opened eyes
Awakened by alarm
Fifteen minutes of hygeine
Twenty minutes of eating thirty seconds to the door

I looked outside I looked into the eyes
Of the impersonal mob
I've seen a thousand times before
Feelings under covers like books on a shelf
If we're scared of one another
Must be scared of ourselves

More than just another crowd
We need a gathering instead
Drink drink in the badlands liquid bread for the poor
Another member of the crowd goes down to drown at the liquor store
Choose your escape in the heartland
Of product and demand when you feel like a wasp in the swarm
You gotta get away anyway that you can"
 
paul westerberg - you're getting married (aka dont get married)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMWWSxC6e9w

the words:

"You're like a guitar in the hands
of a man that just can't play
You're like an inmate countin' off the days
You're like a student on vacation
That's waitin' for school to resume
Like a flower in the dark,
Never gonna bloom

You're getting married
You're getting married
You're getting married--oh no...

Well, you say that you'll both be real happy
You forgot to tell your eyes
You're like a bird in a cage
Watchin' the flock fly on by
You're like a student who's on vacation
Just waitin' for school to start
I don't know what's in it for you,
But it ain't in your heart...

You're getting married
You're getting married
You're getting married--oh no..oh no...

You're like a guitar in the hands
of some fool that just can't play
You're like an inmate countin' off the days
Well, you say that you'll both be happy
Hey, you forgot to tell your eyes
You're like a bird in a cage
Watchin' the flock fly on by

You're like a student on vacation
Just waitin' for school to resume
You're like a flower in the dark,
You ain't never gonna bloom
If you get married
If you get married
Don't you get married
No, no, no no...



so paul had a habit of not releasing songs that were pretty at least early on and the band would probably have not wanted to release such a "sensitive" song so he just recorded it in his basement on some tape and that was it. almost threw it away which is so westerberg. beautiful song he would never even sing or play smoothly (never). its like a wild flower growing wild in a garbage dump, oh even here even here even here here we are
 
yay!!!
