Music Saves


I embarked on a cross country journey
to find the song
to save my soul

Moving day

As we crossed the bridge
the mattress flipped
end-over-
end
out of the truck, into the lake
on its way out to sea

I laughed
at this burial at sea
a lighthearted funeral, it was.

Terry was flabbergasted and
afraid.
.
Everyone else just stared
not certain how to react
torn
between my laughter and Terrys
horror

I slapped Terry, on the back...

NASHVILLE PUSSY

Nugent was always chasing it
I tried to run away, but
the Nashville Pussy found me
took me to the French Quarter
whipped me good and kept me
out all night

When I woke up
in the backseat of my car
a note was pinned to the sleeve
of my shirt
"Thanks for the great night, love
Pussy" it said
I hicupped as...

Nights like this
I wonder the streets
At 2 am
Concentrated chaos
Funneling frustration
Feedback and intoxication
Into footsteps
Circling
Her house
Endlessly

Its too cold
To dance in this town
All ambition is frozen
Like my tongue
In the schoolyard
Where all the schoolgirls
Stare, and I
Turn red
Blue

Another evening at the End of The World

The band was on stage
bleeding
The crowd felt
sour
Hissing at love songs
starting fights by candlelight

Children were abandoned
Comets rained down
Teardrops were constant

- This isnt much of a party
I said, he answered
- Sometimes there is singing. Sometimes there is mass suicide

Planes Mistaken For Stars are a four piece band of rawkus power and cutting insight. They punch you square in the face and laugh at you as you watch it begin to make sense. Coming out of the rust belt in Peoria, Illinois and heading to hardcore heaven Denver?

Planes Mistaken For Stars have made a decent little name for themselves in their 6 years...

A mostly instrumental group, Drums and Tuba make their living finding a groove and exploiting it.

They always bring an...

i saw them open for an Ani concert about a year ago... absolutely amazing and ever so moving. this crew deserves publicity and a good rep. thanks for highlighting people that really have great music, and not just the hollywood hype...

I don't mean to be critical, but, typically, you should only ask a band questions that you or the average fan don't already know the answer to. Y'know?

the questions you ask
depend on the goal of the interview



long enough
to realize each style can be effective in certain places





keith i believe that was just plain rude...

Suicide Girls

Were always lounging in the Champagne Room
blowing money on
excess and street philosophy
Tragic clowns drop tears
as we break heads
Dropping our panties
giving handjobs in the backroom
Snipers are all around us
watching
as we exchange kisses (never on the mouth)
Bullets whiz by and every once in a while
we stop them
just to learn how blood flows

Plane rides
to Clownland


If your next stop is Tampa
you're fucked

We are going to the center of the obvious

to find the idiots
who parade as geniuses
and the geniuses
who are swine

In this zoo full of clowns, the bow-tie
is essential -
tied tight around your adrenal glands

denying your every orgasm

How is it possible that TWO poeople have met the wrter, Kate Northrop (one of m faourites...) Jough had dinner with her, and plaingurl has met her too, quite nice person, that!

God... I am thinin of going to a workshop, but my ego is fering the inevitable worse of metric hobbling doggerel generating 'anyone cn do it', my boyfriend sucks, im sad poets!!! yikes!!!

Comunique.

Et ce fut toujours vindage pour ange.
-Artaud.

My Existence, in birth throes,
restlessly spat from the
Mouth of God. What a Shame,
Ours. A god who wanted
nothing more to do with it.

Here lies, all my histories, forward;
The foul taste in creation's mouth.
Spring has Lilacs, but, still,
Snow falls some day, if not this
and then another way.

I don't need to concern myself,
with that tired, fey boredom,
I've got those slags, those sculptured girls
drawn down upon St. Peters Street;
trading it in, what it? Whose it? Life? for
A Just mortgaged exorcism.
An excorcism of a purity.

We bought it, and we built it,
We sold it to them, and how foul!
What a taste, a non-state; upon
these blistered fringes of
Gods mouth; Je Suis

Only made only
(not for the Halelujeah); yet---
Only for the speaking, of a gospel

to

the non-moment
the non-existence
the non-death

A chain letter you've left unread, and well,
It only ever was made to...
Your future boy, pick up the Oblique
God-Card, Hanging Man, King
Word of god in epitaph,
A future, a horizon, a means, to...
tell you of your very own future,
You own it boy! It's yours, will you
Go quietly, do not otherwise,
Follow the letters, it's yours boy,
one thousand notorious histories
laid out, down as one--- and;
quite simply it reads:

here lies.
