Grant Hart: Where Haüs?

According to his website, Hart is currently recording in Montreal, with a release expected in 2007. He told Britain's Q in September 2006, "I'm working on some stuff with the Godspeed You! Black Emperor people. They've given more of themselves in a few weeks than Bob did in nine years with Hüsker Dü." - Wikipedia

Hüsker Dü - "Charity, Chastity, Prudence, And Hope" and "She Floated Away"

"Warehouse: Songs and Stories" album jacket transcription:

Sometimes you feel real old, older than you are. Check the aches and pains, the hairline, the demands of life. Responsibilities, responsibilities. Worse things have happened to all of us; the circus wasn’t as good as you thought it would be, the movie stunk, etc., etc...

Punching the clock, punching the wall, hating your boss. You can't go if you don't know, and you can't know if you don’t go. And everybody in the world has their own song in their heads. The best songs ever. Problem is figuring a way to get them out and present them to others.

You've got to know where the brakes are. Enjoy life at a realistic pace. You crazy youngsters, what with your nightlife and everything. And it's important to trust other people while putting stock in yourself as well. Reevaluating your priorities, checking yourself daily.

Not everybody is a victim of circumstance; conversely, nobody should feel like a martyr all the time. Problem? It’s hard enough to communicate these days; some of us don't even get the chance. Some others don’t know they have a chance.

When you travel frequently, you find a lot of images. And sometimes, you have to try and make the best of a bad situation: more often than not, we grin and bear it. Other times, you learn to enjoy some small facet of your predicament. Nothing too elaborate, just an attempt to adjust priorities. Revolution starts at home, preferably in the bathroom mirror.

Example? Winter always comes too soon. This year was the worst I can remember, except when I was five years old. Pushed open the front door, got lost in the snow.

Blag Dahlia of The Dwarves: Blood, Guts and Gary Busey


Blag Dahlia - NINA ...and other delights

I got this as a gift from Dana #1HS the other night. Hermana a Hermano. She says the book is one of the worst she's ever read and I'll take her word on it, but upon initial listening, the spoken word CD has a few shining moments—two to be exact, as this reviewer agrees. Culled mainly from an Invisible Ink radio show, the readings from Blag's "How to Write Good" column steal the blow and snow-cap a bowl.

Blag Dahlia - "How To Write Good: Cocaine" and "How To Write Good: Halloween"

Can of Pork


I got a request for more Downfall and the only other song I have is from Lookout's Can of Pork double LP. Very post-OPIV. I threw in two more East Bay ditties on the compilation for good measure.

  • Downfall - "North Berkeley"
  • Pounded Clown - "Bad Trip"
  • Good Grief - "Why Quit"

    This Is a Long Drive for Nothing with Someone to Think About


    It was hearing "Broke" repeatedly on trips to Baltimore in the mid-late 90s that made me a believer. Thanks, DH.

    Lemon Yellow Black


    do you know what would be good right here? some yellow
    a touch of humility, an original sin or two from you
    half the math double the myth they told you to
    no aftertaste no residue CHOP CHOP you're through
    our good order taker has what it takes to make it
    it's up to you
    unflinching trigger finger coffee fetcher to the letter
    see it through
    riddles don't stupefy because at the moment
    we want to not know you to better know you
    don't be so german
    pick it up prick up the usual amount
    no fingerprints no proper names our finest scotch to wash it down
    good french collaborator, we heard you made great waiters
    make us proud
    no job too small or messy your lack of feeling pleasing
    we'll keep you around
    daughters of the revolution you're freezing in your furs
    well-heeled atrocity show the finishing school is done
    the appropriate responses are wrong for once in you life, man, just think
    unemployed war heroes hating the peace time march
    that's right these things come back to you

    Pug Sounds

    Millennium New Year. Olympia. The other one. Phone books meant more when stacked. Your fever burned a hole through the z's. The Reef and Tekla. Better time if we get lucky next. What could have been wasn't half as fun as being had. The hospital. Sleater-Kinney Road. I felt cheated, life scissored death. When the message over the intercom broke the silence - "Justin Trosper, please come to the pharmacy counter" - I knew we were golden.

    Unwound - "Dragnalus" and "Corpse Pose"
