Stethoscope

Your iron fist shows signs of rust
Your hallowed halls are mostly dust
Your sons and daughters are avaricious dolts
And none of this is anybody's fault
The greatest living Englishman
Was buried out at sea today
We wrapped him up in yesterday's papers
And watched him slowly drift away
so long
and you're gone
The doctor came first thing yesterday
And took the hands of my watch away
His stethoscope is just a daffodil
That knows if I'm pretending to be ill

Perpetual Change

Hey boy there's a boat in the morning
there's a boat in the afternoon
Out of Ballasalla
Up the Ballmodha
Down the Ballacraine
And on to Ballabeg
Touch of the hysterics
In Ballakilpheric
So off to Ballamona
For a little rest
Life is just perpetual change
Some days it pours and some days it rains
Life is so perpetually strange
Some folks are mad and some are deranged

On land and sea
Look out below
We're here to see
You're here to show
We know you better
than you know yourself
You tell us things
You won't tell no one else
You can't unsee
But you can unfeel
We'll make you doubt
What is or isn't real
What if no one's watching you?
No one cares whatever you do?
What if you're not watching too?
What's a poor boy gonna do?

Monster Truck Mondays
by The Empty Threats
Tightly wound post-punk with splashes of new wave; heavy on twangy riffs, phased-out melodies, and understated vocals.

Only Lovers Left Alive (single)
by Taleen Kali
Taleen Kali's latest single harkens back to the sweet garage pop sound of Dum Dum Girls and Frankie Rose and the Outs.
go to album
Sydney rockers Third Eye Stimuli temper aggressive post punk with trippy synths and splendorous shoegaze.
go to album
The latest from synth-driven post-punk duo The KVB is as moody as ever, but polishes their pop proclivities to a fine sheen.

Frantic Semantic EP
by Grow Rich
Fuzzy and swirling shoegaze soundscapes from Indonesia full of emotion and DIY spirit.
go to album
Geneva Freeport
by Absolutely Free
This EP (which features Meg Remy of U.S. Girls) is punchy dance-punk that operates at a low, insistent simmer.
