In all of th' bloodbanks in North Carolina
You had to be working at this one
You broke all the laws of ethics and manners
To make sure you were there when the deed was done
In all of the malls in the city of Raleigh
You had to be shopping at Crabtree
The way go on about our day-to-day downplay
Is really beginning to start to get to me
Head on through the snow
Is there something about you that I should know?
In all of the record stores on Hillsborough Street
You had to be buying Ted Leo
You bought all his work with The Pharmacists
You know, one day, I'm gonna have to go
I'm sick of seeing you here
It's only been a year
I'm starting to develop a fear...

al Riggs Durham, North Carolina
Sad Songs For, About, And Written By Birds
al Riggs recommends:
Phil makes sometimes quiet, sometimes ear shattering, always pretty and dense records and this one is no different. As big as all outdoors and as small as a small wooden shack, as to be expected.

Dance to this all night and then the morning and then the afternoon until your legs turn to noodles or the landlord starts a-knocking on your floor/their ceiling with a broom. Whichever happens first.

The World Is A Loud Place
by Landlady
Landlady live is a force of nature, on record they are just as gorgeous and anxious as they are in the Flesh World. More Nervous Energy for those who like tremendous drumming and proper earworms.

The wonderfully understated folk songs on the new EP from Emma Geiger recall the best of The Softies and early Mary Lou Lord.
