Epimanes

Right the six fingered thief
on fours as if they were two
an empty house bleeds promise
worshiped from the inside
A thousand stings across the always opened wound
For Hell's sweetest symphony swings

The Nightingale choking on its rose
no sacrifice too big
for every hole a microphone
for every babe a vacuum
the long fanged Matron and we all find zero
onward human onward

On to every last twitch and jerk
with no sympathy or reveal
promise penance later to late
as all shines is truth
Your greatest escape is in holding
Prey for prayer
sits cross legged staring into a mirror
How are you doing here

Hells silver swoon and foreign grace
What Jesus
venereal retrograde
houses illicit product
Cancerous Capricorns seduced by fear and pardoned by ghosts
seizures divided into dulled eyes
march like you mean it

Sing out loud Megiddo
Dirt versus Soil
Reality versus Real
for faces never stopping
spraying static excuses molded into the skin of approval
masturbate your inner child
you are not so forgiven

God does not want you to believe
This is where no soul can tread
as elusive as true self
yours would be better served mute
Wealthy and honored by the pitted and contemptuous
What can you see through the human cataract
All beauty shall be reconstituted for the sake of you

Alien to temperance modesty and permanence
grasping half heartily at faint whispers
once so innocent and ready
almost there now switch the channel please
moist and ripe rape and art
louder and vague will be the twin heralds
Gog and Magog

Sing out loud Megiddo
and every word you speak
drunk on stones and jagged rocks
what heroes are found within
let us power a world with engines made of spleen
in flight by blind design
now every ghost will take shape
and know your name

DIGIT OF THE DAY: MADRUGADA: THE DEEP END


Friends share and friends lift each other up above the drudgery and the everyday evils of the world. Man looks to his fellow man for sanity and to expand his overview of life. Well look to me my friends I got something to share with you.

A Norwegian band called Madrugada (The Blue Hour) . An Album called The Deep End.



The band walks a very wide and dirty path. Ranging from deep bluesy love songs to pure bitter rock. The band itself reminds me alot of Gun Club, Nick Cave circa Boat Mans Call and a lil REM I admit it. (I know).

BUY DEEP END HERE!



Song List:
01: The Kids Are On High Street
02: On Your Side
03: Hold On To You
04: Stories From The Streets
05: Running Out Of Time
06: The Lost Gospel
07: Elektro Vakuum
08: Subterranean Sunlight
09: Hard To Come Back
10: Ramona
11: Slow Builder
12: Sail Away

Culled from Wiki:
Madrugada was a Norwegian rock band formed in the town of Stokmarknes 1995. The band members included Frode Jacobsen (bass), Sivert Høyem (vocals) and Robert Burås (guitar). After the death of Burås on July 12, 2007 Høyem and Jacobsen decided to finish recording their latest album. The album, entitled Madrugada, was released on January 21, 2008.
After the release of the album the band announced they would split
after one last tour. They performed their last ever concert on November 15 2008 at Oslo Spektrum in Oslo, Norway.

DIGit of the Day: DROPKICK MURPHY’S MEANEST OF TIMES

Before I heap the praise and the 'wow this shit is fun' I need to thanks Ben of the Terrorfakts for giving me this album, otherwise I might have skipped over this beast. SO you see friends of my world don't share needles share loud Irish punk music instead. OK that's enough of that on too the album and heap o praise.




Where to begin, Ok lets start with the facts then run deep with the glories!
Firstly there is 15 tracks on this CD with most songs hovering around the 3 minute mark. It came out in the later half of 2007 and has done a wonderful job on the charts, well wonderful for a Bostonian punk band with tin whistles and bagpipes.

Out of the 15 tracks assembles I would say 5 are near perfect in their driven duty, my favorites and I believe they are obvious ones:

God Willing
State of Massachusetts
Fairmount Hill
Loyal to No one
Johnny I hardly New Ya


The finest gem has to be Flannigans Ball.
This is such a brutal track that plays like a cross between a jig and a freight train. The lyrics remind me of what could have been written by Nick Cave on a ton a speed and Red Bull. What is most notable about this song is the guest vocal spots are done by the brilliant and undeniably talented Spider Tracy from the Pogues and a sad reminder of the late and great singer of the Dubliners Ronnie Drew.

This albums main story anchor is that of home, loss of friends and violence as a fact of life. This album makes me want to drink a barrel of Guinness and swear at the moon. Which I would say that any album that can make ya want to do that is a fucken treasure. So take my advice and please make today the day you listen to it. Here is a sweet sweet find on youtube

DIGit of the Day: THE REAL NICK CAVE!

Everyone changes, everyone. Now some do it for the best. learning, growing and becoming their truer selves some call this maturity. Fine. Now come to understand as well we are not all created equal, never happened never will this can not be argued we are not born on the same footing with the same capacity of knowledge we are in an essence unique lil snowflakes. Some are just more intricate and have a lasting impression. again fine. With these 2 absolutes in mind Nick Cave was a cold icy bitch who knew he was better then you. Fine. Nick Cave created some of the best most honest and intense music, capable of unmasking every pretender. I wlll not rattle off his discography, there is no need for example if you don't know by now just stop reading and turn on the Hills I think someone is gossiping about their frenemies.

I do have a point and I am about to arrive on top of it. Nick Cave please retire you are pulling a fucken Lucas. Just go away unplug the microphone, stop pretending you know how to play the guitar like Madonna and on the way out please do me a favor kill Warren Ellis and his pseudo-arty bullshit masturbation BLixa wannabe ass.

Where does this hate come from, well it comes from the heart and the still disquiet of seeing this sad shadow of a once great man fuck up his own songs his damn legacy live on stage just the other day. Oh it couldnt be that bad, well lovers of mediocrity and apologists listen their is no middle ground and he played like a washed up old man worried about how he is gonna pay off his kids college tuition and not his next fix. You see I remember this band not so long ago drive my inspiration to do great things to repel off of life's great sorrows now his last few albums make me want to wear skinny ties and white sneakers and complain about our President while I create subversive black and white grainy art that only I can understand. Well fuck that noise. And sadly Fuck you Nick Cave for becoming a pussy amongst pussies. Well I still have fro all time all his real work like: Your Funeral My Trail, Henry's Dream, Good Son, From Her to Eternity, Kicking against the Pricks well everything up to and not including Nocturama.

We will never see his kind again, not wih the state of decline that we are going through, and maybe we don't deserve it either. Oh well I am listening to Henry's Dream right now and sadly for every one of me 20 are listening to Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!.
