Are you allowed to show yourself to the door
If you never were shown where it is
You just kick out the load bearing bricks and the wood
And you’ll be back in town before they knew you were his
They’ll never see
The branding, the copyright you only showed me
The twin city nomads keep moving down south
The houses are cheap but the people keep angry
Going walleyed with sentiment and broken by rage
At whoever would deign to get near me
They’ll never know
The wards and the rejects left up in the snow
We will never leave
We will never submit
Unless you’re the type
Who knows what to do with it
So hard to get seen under blacklight and fog
Everyone’s looking at clean teeth and shoelaces
Everyone’s breeding with scarf wearing faggots
And not the good kind who’ll show their faces
We fought hard for that
Not to hide under curtains and cry behind hats
We will never leave
We will never submit
Unless you’re the type
Who knows what to do with it

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.
