recorded by the Knolls in New York City
lyrics
A mistake took the awards
That no book of interviews
Could ever have won —
Look at the sun
Behind Sam the Lion,
Saying something or another
About Age or Youth or Death.
And like Orson still no prize,
Other than an it-girl starlet —
Younger than her costars,
Or the non-union grips from the local college,
Or the production designer
Who back in New York found the source novel
On line at the drug store in between the mints and nylons.
The greats like Hank with his sweets,
And James not Jimmy,
And Duke perched on doll’s feet
Recall very plainly it was nothing more than a kerchief
For the Old Man to wipe away
Spit and sweat and sand
All while the tape machine whirs
Under the shuffling of three thousand index cards
To document it all —
Both student and heir,
No mere documentarian;
Auteur of winking comedies
And unfilmable treatments of New Journalism
And pastiches too wry for broad appeal beyond Rotarians in Fresno.
Spacious, psych-tinged indie rock from Philly; painting in blurry watercolors (but not without percussive headiness). Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 16, 2016
This Michigan-based trio trip, swirl, and echo their way through 11 songs of psychedelic, surf-tinged, garage rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 27, 2015
