out of my head, and barely awake
but she understands, she's in a similar state
she's like a bungee cord on the eiffel tower
you should be jealous as hell cuz with our powers combined....
I know it's not a contest, but even so
(my best friend's better than yours)
I know it's not a contest; I'm just sayin'
(my best friend's better than yours)
[spoken-word excerpt from Brave Little Toaster Friendship and Loyalty Educational Seminar, recorded in 1992 at the University of California, Berkeley: "A true friend... is a toaster? A true friend.. is a lamp? A true friend is a blanket? A true friend... is a lamp? A true friend is a lamp? ...is like a blanket. ...is a toaster?"]
you give us dirty looks cuz you don't get the joke,
we're on our own wavelength
we're just sitting in the corner, our private show,
we're allies anywhere
we're on the same page, in an identical font
like Lennie and Carl, and we do what we want
I know it's not a contest, but even so
(my best friend's better than yours)
I know it's not a contest; I'm just sayin'
(my best friend's better than yours)
An old bedroom pop favorite out of the UK. Goes on a real journey from folk to synthpop and outdoes itself as it goes. LOVE "Skipmaid," "Girl From Barri Island," "Nest Longs to Play Cricket" GLAT
Often dark and bleak but often quite shimmery and beautiful. Literally goes well with nature. Favorites: "Cardboard", "Panna a Netvor", "Gilroy" and "A Wilderness." It gon' haunt you! GLAT
Boston post-punk outfit Junk Ranchers broke up in 1986 before this, their debut album, was released; darkly melodic, it's a long-lost gem. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
