Ray LaMontagne - Till The Sun Turns Black :pig

GREAT band

 

i haven't checked out this new one yet, but Elysium was one of my fave albums of '04. Out of the Fierce Parade is good too.

 

i LOVE the album title & cover of the new one already

it sounded really good last night (after a joint), gave it another go this afternoon to confirm and it held up.

they've got that Pretty Girls Make Graves vibe, which i dig...gonna have to seek out the others.

The Velvet Teen - Cum Laude

checking this out on a recommendation from someone whose taste in music i generally distrust....but i'm totally impressed.

He had 3 whole dollars

A worn out car

And a wife who was

Leaving for good

Life's made of trouble

Worry pain and struggle

She wrote good bye in

The dust on the hood

They found a a map of Missouri

Lipstick on the glass

They must of left

In the middle of the nite

And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How's it going to end?

Behind a smoke colored

Curtain, the girl

Disappeared, they found out

The ring was a fake

A tree born crooked

Will never grow straight

She sunk like a hammer in to the lake

A long lost letter and

And old leaky boat

Promises are never meant

To keep

And I want to know

The same thing

I want to know

How's it going to end?

The barn leaned over

The vultures dried their wings

The moon climbed up an empty sky

The sun sank down behind the tree

On the hill

There's a killer and he's coming

Thru the rye

But maybe he's the Father

Of that lost little girl

It's hard to tell in this light

And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How's it going to end?

Drag your wagon and your plow

Over the bones of the dead

Out among the roses and the weeds

You can never go back

And the answer is no

And wishing for it only

Makes it bleed

Joel Tornabene was broken

On the wheel

Shane and Bum Mahoney on the lamb

The grain was as gold

As Sheila's hair

All the way from Liverpool

With all we could steal

He was robbed of twenty dollars

His body found stripped

Cast into the harbour

There and drowned

And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How's it going to end?

The sirens are snaking their

Way up the hill

It's last call somewhere in

The world

The reptiles blend in with the

Color of the street

Life is sweet at the edge

Of a razor

And down in the front row of

An old picture show

The old man is asleep

As the credits start to roll

And I want to know

The same thing

We all want to know

How's it going to end?

they've been showing this on PBS again

 

and?

it's delicious.

hmmm....what's so great about this one again?

Wu-tang best of comp found on Oink...

Where are you going I dont mind

Ive killed my world and Ive killed my time

So where do I go what do I see

I see many people coming after me

So where are you going to I dont mind

If I live too long Im afraid Ill die

So I will follow you wherever you go

If your offered hand is still open to me

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

So youve been where Ive just come

From the land that brings losers on

So we will share this road we walk

And mind our mouths and beware our talk

till peace we find tell you what Ill do

All the things I own I will share with you

If I feel tomorrow like I feel today

Well take what we want and give the rest away

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

Holy man and holy priest

This love of life makes me weak at my knees

And when we get there make your play

cos soon I feel youre gonna carry us away

In a promised lie you made us believe

For many men there is so much grief

And my mind is proud but it aches with rage

And if I live too long Im afraid Ill die

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

Got uncles that smoke & some put blow up they nose

To cope with they lows the wind is cold & it blows

i love this line...

Kracher Illmitz Pinot Gris, chilled

a perfect wine for a hot, hot day

undoubtedly the best thing the Germans ever did for China

I still remember that time when we were dancing

We were dancing to a song that I'd heard

Your face was simple and your hands were naked

I was singing without knowing the words

But I started listening to the wolves in the timber

Wolves in the timber at night

I heard their songs when I looked in the mirror

In the howls and the moons round my eyes

So long, so high

Then winter came and there was little left between us

Skin and bones of love won't make a meal

I felt my eyes drifting over your shoulder

There were wolves at the edge of the field

But I still remember that time when we were dancing

We were dancing to a song that I'd heard

Your face was simple and your hands were naked

I was singing without knowing the words

So long, so high

Then one day I just woke up

And the wolves were all there

Wolves in the piano

Wolves underneath the stairs

Wolves inside the hinges

Circling round my door

At night inside the bedsprings

Clicking cross the floor

I don't know how they found me

I'll never know quite how

I still can't believe they heard me

That I was howling out that loud

So long, so high

At times in the frozen nights I go roaming

In the bed she used to share with me

I wake in the fields with the cold and the lonesome

The moon's the only face that I see

But I still remember that time when we were dancing

We were dancing to a song that I'd heard

Your face was simple and your hands were naked

I was singing without knowing the words

So long so high

And I will stroll the merry way

And jump the hedges first

And I will drink the clear

Clean water for to quench my thirst

And I shall watch the ferry-boats

And they'll get high

On a bluer ocean

Against tomorrow's sky

And I will never grow so old again

And I will walk and talk

In gardens all wet with rain

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing

My, my, my, my, my sweet thing

And I shall drive my chariot

Down your streets and cry

'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite

And I don't know why'

And you shall take me strongly

In your arms again

And I will not remember

That I even felt the pain

We shall walk and talk

In gardens all misty wet with rain

And I will never, never, never

Grow so old again

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing

My, my, my, my, my sweet thing

And I will raise my hand up

Into the night time sky

And count the stars

That's shining in your eye

Just to dig it all an' not to wonder

That's just fine

And I'll be satisfied

Not to read in between the lines

And I will walk and talk

In gardens all wet with rain

And I will never, ever, ever, ever

Grow so old again.

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing

Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes

While this town is busy sleeping

All the noises died away

I walk the streets to stop my weeping

But she'll never change her ways

Don't fool yourself

She was heartache from the moment that you met her

My heart feels so still

As I try to find the will to forget her somehow

Oh I think I've forgotten her now

Her love is a rose pale and dying

Dropping her petals and man I know

All full of wine the world before her

But sober with no place to go

Don't fool yourself

She was heartache from the moment that you met her

My heart is frozen still

As I try to find the will to forget her somehow

She's somewhere out there now

Oh my tears folded down as I tried to forget

Her love was a joke from the day that we met

All of the words all of her men

All of my pain when I think back to when

Remember her hair as it shone in the sun

It was there on the bed when I knew what she'd done

Tell yourself over and over you wont ever need her again

But don't fool yourself

She was heartache from the moment that you met her

Oh my heart is frozen still

As I try to find the will to forget her somehow

She's out there somewhere now

She was heartache from the day that i first met her

My heart is frozen still

As I try to find the will to forget you somehow

'Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now

when you've finally thrown up your hands

poured your heart out, yet nothing stands

it seems our efforts are wasted

but yet it hasn't been in vain

unfulfillment is killing you

seems like no one shares the same view

we may have never met but

it might be you who pulls me through

stand up so i can see you

shout out so i can hear you

reach out so i can touch you

this is our emergency

this is our emergency

this is our emergency

baby you don't have to be

a picture in a magazine

sometimes you're too blind to see

anything objectively

just keep on doing your thing right now

listen here take it from me

we're gonna go it differently

they'll follow when you start the lead

strength in numbers is our key

keep on doing your thing you do now

don't forget that when you doubt

that anyone will care about

a thing you do and when you're lost

someone else is always found

a thousand voices, are you listening?

the tiny spark that you create

it can inspire and duplicate

and soon it spreads from state

to state from williamsburg to silverlake

a thousand voices, are you listening?

this is our emergency

this is our emergency

stand up so i can see you

shout out so i can hear you

reach out so i can touch you

this is our emergency

baby you don't have to be

a picture in a magazine

sometimes you're too blind to see

anything objectively

just keep on doing your thing right now

don't forget that when you doubt

that anyone will care about

a thing you do and when you're lost

someone else is always found

a thousand voices, are you listening?

this is our emergency

this is our emergency

ah, thanks.

i had the resizing thing down, but the images looked all pixelated.

ah, i thought it would just keep it the same size as the image unless it's larger than the allowed dimensions (or is that what you're referring to?).

yup, then it changes it to 100x100

hmmm...i don't see what there is to complain about. with it off you have to figure up the right dimensions which is kind of a pain.

but hey - if the people don't want it, no biggie.

how about switching that avatar autosizer back on?
