Fruit Bats - A Dodo Egg - Echolocation (2001)

Fruit Bats this evening. It’s been a while… I’m going to make a night of it — starting with the first album from Eric D. Johnson (The ShinsI RowboatCalifoneand his Fruit Bats’ bandmates, Echolocation.

“Write your name on the shell of a dodo egg. 
In the horse latitudes in the deep blue dregs. 
Just remember that you’re married to the sea. 
Throw your harpoons to the wind crying ‘mutiny!’

Write the name of your true love on a Moa’s beak. 
Poke a hole in the hull and let the bottom leak.
Just remember that you’re married to the sea. 
Throw your harpoons to the wind crying ‘mutiny!’”

       

I highly recommend checking out all of the albums (Echolocation, Mouthfuls, Spelled In Bones, Ruminant Band and Tripper). They’re all fantastic. Not a bad one in the bunch. Purchase them here.

Rilo Kiley - Science Vs. Romance - Take Offs And Landings (2001)

Feeling nostalgic. Immersing myself in Rilo Kiley for the rest of this afternoon. The way this song builds lyrically and instrumentally pretty much destroys me.

…Facts versus romance
You go and call yourself the boss
But we’re not robots inside a grid

Text versus romance
You go and add it all you want
Still we’re not robots inside a grid

Zeroes and ones.

LYRICS.

I want more from Rilo Kiley but it sounds like that may be wishful thinking… Wiki.

Every time I wonder, I know

That the reason is out of my hands

All of my things 

They can’t keep you from wandering

Rough week. But, good song. So there’s that… A bit melancholy in nature…but it speaks to me.

Quite likely my favorite band of the last few months.

Revisiting Rilo Kiley this afternoon. Everything they produced resonates with me on every level. Just timeless.

This particular tune gets me every time. Lyrics are just, wow.

“…that’s not to say I don’t have good times

but as for my days I spend them waiting…”
