Brightest Young Things

I'm not joking about this, if you don't go see Drink Up Buttercup tonight at the DC9 musical nightclub you will be really sorry. Really really sorry. You'll be cursing at yourself years from now, not just because these dudes are legendarily fantastic and innovative onstage, nor because everyone cool will be talking about how they saw them on this early tour before 2011 when they either got hugely famous or vanished in a mysterious ski accident in the Alps only to reemerge decades later as leaders of a Yeti's rights movement in Switzerland, NO, the main reason you will be upset is because you will love these songs that they picked out to talk about for their listening party and you'll buy their new record and it will get stuck in your iPod forever and you will always listen to it when you are high and then you'll quit smoking and still listen to it all the time. Then you'll want to have seen them on this tour, at the height of their powers, before the festivals and the videos and the Yetis and the moon landings, and you'll regret that secret loss of time that every old record nerd feels in his balding heart. Or hers.

Read their words. Listen to the tracks. Don't be afraid. Go to the show.

Doggy Head

Whenever you are in a relationship there are few magical moments when you are on the same page with the person you are sharing the relationship with. Doggy head is about all the times when those magical moments aren't happening and the anxiety that accompanies those times.

Seasickness Pills

This a call to arms for the youth of the world to open their eyes. Wake up and be aware. Listen, don't hear. Take note, don't just look.

Young Ladies

When you're at a party, try to look beyond the good times that are going on. People are pretty perverted . Perversity often overwhelms dignity.

Lovers Play Dead

People are often kidding themselves that they can live without each other. Lovers play dead is an allegory representing this phenomenon.
