#too much imagery

since 1000, ive listened to

1.5 hours of czech hip hop. really bad stuff. really bad. with russian mobsters as patrons, you get results as predicted. some cool music videos though.

1 hour of josh ritter. listen to 'to the dogs or whoever' and youll get hte point

1 hour of the decemberists. crane wife in particular.

in fact.

to the dogs or whoever->


Deep in the belly of a whale I found her
Down with the deep blue jail around her
Running her hands through the ribs of the dark
Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc

first stanza has eve in the whale, while alluding to adam. then florence nightengale, calamity jane and joan of arc. all heroic and groundbreaking women.

I love the way she looks in her underwear
I lose my page then the plot then the book then I swear
She makes the most of her time by loving me plenty
She knows there'll come a day when we won't be getting any

this is just funny. makes me thing of the

apartment scenes in 'tout va bien.'

The stain of the sepia the butcher Crimea
Through the wreck of the brass band I thought I could see her
In a cakewalk she came through the dead and the lame
Just a little bird floating in a hurricane

not sure. feels like something out

of dylan+the band's 'big pink' sessions

I was flat on my back with my feet in the thorns
I was in between the apples and the chloroform
She came to me often I was sure I was dying
It was always hard to tell if she was laughing or crying

this is a strange picture

I thought I heard somebody calling
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call
Joan never cared about the inbtweens
Combed her hair with a blade did the Maid of Orleans
Said Christ walked on water we can wade through the war
You don't need to tell me who the fire is for

ouch

Oh, bring me the love that can sweeten a sword
A boat that can love the rocks or the shore
The love of the iceberg reaching out for the wreck
Can you love me like the crosses love the nape of neck?

i always am fond of boats that love the shore.

wiki 'wreckers'. awesome people.

i would really like to have been one back in the day.

Was it Casey Jones or Casey at the Bat?
Who died out of pride and got famous for that
Killed by a swerve laid low by the curve
Do you ever think they ever thought they got what they deserved?

casey jones is a folk hero thats real. casey at

the bat is a folk hero that is fake. casey jones is the

one youre meaning for, josh.

Pity the bullet and pity the man
Who both find their place in the same sad plan
Who both are like the barrel going over the falls
Crying all the way down I never asked to be involved

hes talking about something

specific in the first line i think

I thought I heard somebody calling
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call

General George began the day by taking pink little pills
Sent his men to the top of some hell of a hill
Through the whisper of the trees came artillery breeze
He said, "I love the way the wind comes tickling my knees."

custer meets col. kilgore from 'Apoc. Now'

Jane shot the apple right between the eyes
I was thinking of her when you came outside
Lemonade on your breath sun in your hair
Did I mention how I love you in your underwear?

calamity jane and somebody else

Deep in the belly of a whale I found her
Down with the deep blue jail around her
Running her hands through the ribs of the dark
Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc

I thought I heard somebody calling
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call
