I have no idea what this song is about or what any of the lyrics are. He could be saying "I take my wash to the laundromat and I'm gonna have a good time washing my comforters". If I were listening to this song while washing my comforters, I would probably have a good time, too. (I don't mean to make light - the articles I've read have said that the album is inspired by the death of his friend Andy Palacio. This song could be about that - I can't understand the lyrics, so in cases like that I like to make up my own meaning.)

My favorite song so far is "Ali, Please". I'm also partial to "The High Life".
He's offering his whole album as a free download, so please take advantage of his generosity and download it. I'm sure he'd appreciate it, too, if you shared the link on your Facebook, Twitter, body via tattoo - however you want to get the word out!

Wheat
I love Wheat. They did a song called "I Met a Girl". It wasn't the most complicated song ever written, but it was a cool song. Even years later, I still remember it.
To rev up for their newest release, Wheat are offering for download their cover of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and an original Christmas song.
Go Wheat!

Oh, she's so cute! I love this song. I've heard a few more of her songs, and I like them too. Great video for "Jailbird"!

Diane Birch, with The Phenomenal Hand Clap Band
Diane Birch (with The Phenomenal Hand Clap Band) cover some of my favorite songs from the 80's and early 90's on their EP The Velveteen Age. It's funny--I never thought of her style matching these artists' music, but it totally works. She brings an earthiness to these somewhat ethereal songs.
Streaming:
"Kiss Them For Me" (Original artist: Siouxsie and the Banshees)
"Bring on the Dancing Horses" (Original artist: Echo & the Bunnymen)
**If you look to the right on the Soundcloud page, there are more tracks, including Peter Murphy's "A Strange Kind of Love"**

OMG OMG OMG She does "Atmosphere". That song always makes me cry, and I usually shut myself in my apartment for a few days after I hear it. So you may not hear from me for awhile. "Tarantula"! One of my favorite This Mortal Coil songs!!! OOOOHHHH. I wants this now. It comes out Tuesday, Dec. 7th.
