This tickles my Pet Shop Boys-New Order-young Depeche Mode (No, no! I just can’t get enough!)-Tears for Fears-OMD receptors.
But it’s brand new.
Also, it could be a fun uke song. (Holy Chordify! Batman!)
Fancy that!
Have we entered the post modern era of popular music? Stylistically, has pop music become an amalgamation of everything that came before?
There is more access to everything that has come before,
Than ever before.
(Hi, internet! How ya doin’ over here?)
I mean, even if you want to be all authentic and listen to music on the media it was recorded for:
vinyl, shellac, cassette, CD, etc. (I wonder if eight tracks were around long enough that music was specifically engineered for them?)
Even if you want to listen to popular music of any era on physical media, you can probably track it down on the internet.
So I looked ‘em up. They’re Canadian. From Vancouver and have been around since 1996. Per Wikipedia their music varies widely, as they aim to start from scratch with each album. I like that in a band. I am off to see what else they’ve got.

Listening to PM Dawn
Wistful on my teenage bed
Stretched out
Afternoon sun pouring in
Wistful about this kind of love
This connection
Youthful angst and longing
For an imagined feeling
And now
Here
All these years later
I’d die without you.

Listen to this song
On headphones
Over-the-ear cans
Noise reduction
Or crank it on a speakers
With dense bass impact
Come hell or pissed neighbors
That acoustic guitar riff
Guitar riff
Guitar riff
Circluar
Guitar riff
Hypnotic
Mr Perry
She asks
Mr Perry
Voice smooth
Mr Perry
Voice hypnotic
Mr Perry
When you were young
Mr Perry
Share your nostalgia
Mr Perry
Share your memory
Mr Perry
Share your world
Mr Perry
Shining sun.
under-bass
Undulates
Raise my arms
Anticipation
Of what?
Anticipation
Of what
Of wht
Anticipation
of what
The snare.
Incited to dance
(The only proper worship
For song)
I sway
Figure eight
Hips undulate
hands raised
to Shining sun
Feel it
Feel it
Hear it
And taste it
(If God is music)
God is great
Pull my body skyward
Inhale
The auditory sun
Open
My lungs
Open
My soul
Open
My core
To hope

Break my heart with your voice, Roger.
I feel this way about the air
High in the sierra
Crisp and acidic
Granite and pine

Blast this in your car
Moon roof open
On a Sierra summer night
Next time I hear someone bitch about Boomers, I just may pipe up and say, “eh. Perry Farrell ain’t so bad.”

I didn’t know I had favorite Black Sabbath Songs
All my favorite Black Sabbath songs
Are songs I didn’t know were Black Sabbath songs
War Pigs
I used to fall asleep listening to faith no more
An idealistic hippie kid who’d listened to too much John Lennon*
War Pigs struck a chord
And Mike Patton’s voice?
YES.
Sweet Leaf
Stuck in traffic on the Hazel Avenue bridge in Rancho Cordova, I heard Galactic for the first time on Capitol Public Radio.
Bakers Dozen, from Live at Tipitinis**
I dug through my purse for my tiny marbled notebook and pen
Galactic, Bakers Dozen, Tipitinis
As the light turned green
Galactic, Bakers Dozen, Tipitinis
And traffic picked up
Galactic, Bakers Dozen, Tipitinis
I used my steering wheel for a desk
Galactic, Bakers Dozen,Tipitinis
Scribbled:
Galactic
Bakers Dozen,Tipitinis
Shifted into second
Scratched
Tipitini
Drew. Must. Hear. This.
The closing track on Live a Tipitina’s (not tipitinis) is Sweeet Leaf
The theme song to Big Mouth***
Charles Bradley sings, belts with such emotion.
Bonus:
Cake’s cover of War Pigs
Because: Cake!
*See also: give me some truth, i don’t wanna be a soldier mamma, i don’t wanna die, happy christmas, war is over, revolution, revolution 1, (though not necessarily 9?), and the ever-present imagine)
** I was tickled by the name Tipitini (say it out loud- feel how your mouth shapes the word)
***Go watch Big Mouth. It nails the awkwardness of puberty and growing up. Painfully so.
