Shameless Tuesdays: Livre 109 | Elk City | B3 - Boston Bastard Brigade

Deep within Montclair, New Jersey resides Elk City, a band who weave dreams into cool melodies. Since the turn of the century, drummer/producer Ray Ketchem and vocalist/artist Renée LoBue have delivered a laid-back sound that knows how to recharge the listeners' batteries. Their sixth and latest album Above the Water keeps the feelings afloat, especially in the jamming "Your Time Doesn't Exist" and the pounding "Don't You Wanna Try"! Now seeking land after being adrift, Elk City have waved down for us this week's Shameless Tuesdays!

School gun report for the week of 12/3/23-12/9/23: $17 million not going toward education

12/4/23: Headline: Nebraska lawmakers look at allowing more people to carry guns in schools At least they’re only looking to have off-duty cops as guards, but again, there is no evidence that armed officers in schools prevent school shootings. *** Police in Elk City, Oklahoma, found an unloaded gun at Elk City High School. A 14-year-old was taken into custody. *** 12/5/23: A police officer…

Elk City has a fascinating neo-psychedelic video for “Strong (You’re Not Alone).” Apparently, the band is quite obsessed with cult documentaries. Since I also watch more than my share of shows about cults, the video has been named the Flawless Friday Video for the week. My friend lived on a commune when they were a kid. One of the first things that I heard their dad say was “Jim Jones sold…

25 Lines - Elk City

phones are garbage - pretend they’re not. candlehead buys burrito. neon stripes for a man like this. oh, so daring as you go. you want from me. a fuss, believe. i hate cologne. a flower, a toad. i wrote you 25 lines - i’m not through. i wrote you 25 lines - i’m not through. circus parade in the afternoon. we’re wading in my perfume. easy just like an average day. nothing to do, still get paid. curtail it please. to brood takes ease. something off the cuff. too much. not enough. i wrote you 25 lines - i’m not through. i wrote you 25 lines - straight up blue. we blow through 25 lines - we’re not through. i wrote you 25 lines - it’s all i could do. now we know we are starmakers, love takers. wasting time with a notebook with too many lines. don’t rue the glamour, the fashion. don’t talk about the passion. cradle your creativity. cradle it like it was me. don’t waste a page. write on my beret. savor delight. write on a bike. i wrote you 25 lines - i’m not through. i wrote you 25 lines - it’s all i could do. we blow through 25 lines - we’re not through – I wrote you 25 lines.

Review of "The Sea Is Fierce" by Elk City, Flagpole, 12 December 2001.

[source]

transcript:

Damn, what a stacked production job. Elk City could deluge a room with this EP. a victory of sorta-psych maximalism. It crunches when it wants to (witness the nine-minute kickoff “Take Me Out”), and it gets swankly syncopated (on “Three Ears,” but with requisite 'm-at-the-show-and-on-my-third-cheap-brew-and-it's-good-but-nobody-loves-me asexuality, natch). Played loud enough (Have you heard one of those little Bose systems? I want one.), it'll make you shudder. As much as I'm sick of the whole singing saw conceit, when The Music Tapes’ Julian Koster kicks in on one during “Bar Song.” I understand how it initially caught on. Now, if Elk City had a real singer to replace the congested indie boy and vampy Patti Smith wannabe that keeps stumbling in and lifting the enjoyable haze the music creates, it might do amazing things. Sorry: Wherever Elizabeth Fraser is when we need her. perhaps I need her more than you do. I need her now. (P. 0. Box 1423, Athens, GA 30603)

A Game of Thrones, Daenerys III

They crossed the rolling hills of Norvos, past terraced farms and small villages where the townsfolk watched anxiously from atop white stucco walls.

They forded three wide placid rivers and a fourth that was swift and narrow and treacherous, camped beside a high blue waterfall, skirted the tumbled ruins of a vast dead city where ghosts were said to moan among blackened marble columns.

They raced down Valyrian roads a thousand years old and straight as a Dothraki arrow.

For half a moon, they rode through the Forest of Qohor, where the leaves made a golden canopy high above them, and the trunks of the trees were as wide as city gates.

There were great elk in that wood, and spotted tigers, and lemurs with silver fur and huge purple eyes, but all fled before the approach of the khalasar and Dany got no glimpse of them.
