I got the chance to check out The Kills @ the Sound Academy on Sunday night. As expected, it was a euphoric blend of minimalist drum-machines and heavy, down 'n' dirty guitar riffs. It's hard to stand still at a show like this. Alison and Jamie make me too darn giddy. And, of course, I recommend you checking out their latest release: Blood Pressures. You won't be disappointed. Promise.
Been thinking a lot about Joni and these words lately.
Carey
The wind is in from Africa Last night, I couldn't sleep Oh you know it sure is hard to leave you, Carey But it's really not my home My fingernails are filthy I've got beach tar on my feet And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne
Oh Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane!) I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver) Oh, you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you
Come on down to the mermaid cafe And I will buy you a bottle of wine And we'll laugh, and toast to nothing And smash our empty glasses Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers A round for these friends of mine Let's have another round for the bright red devil who Keeps me in this tourist town
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam Or maybe I'll go to Rome And rent me a grand piano And put some flowers around my room But let's not talk about fare thee wells now The night is a starry dome And they're playing that scratchy rock 'n roll Beneath the Mantella moon
The wind is in from Africa Last night, I couldn't sleep Oh you know it sure is hard to leave you, Carey But it's really not my home Maybe it's been too long a time since I was Scrambling down the street Now they got me used to that clean white linen And that fancy French cologne
Oh, Carey get out your cane (Carey, get out your cane.) I'll put on my finest silver (I'll put on my finest silver,) We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe Have fun tonight I said oh you're a mean old Daddy but you're out of site
