You got a reaction
Felt pretty nice, didn’t it?
I think it sums up
Pretty much everything, everything
When you count to five
It’s fine when you count to five
It’s cool when you count to six
It’s cool, it’s cool, it’s cool
I like to stay alive, it’s fine to count to five
It’s cool, it’s cool, it’s cool
Never, never, never want to go home
Convey a sense
Of what is next, oh well
Everything, everything, everything, everything is fine
I just like to get it fixed
How can I get it fixed?
Can’t turn you off
Never, never, never, want to go home
You’re my personal
Refrigerator
How would it handle
If we just shut up?
When I die
It’s so cold
(everything, everything, everything, everything is fine)
Shave my head
Just to relate
(everything, everything, everything, everything is fine)
When they count to five
They count to six

All surrounding, fine
All your fucking friends
Pick & pick & pick
Pick & pick & pick up the top shelf
Oh, oh, boy
Now you’ve made
Memories
Salted all the Earth
Everything
Turns to stone
Buildings will
Outlast me
What was I supposed to say?
Breathing in the air today?
Something was so different
Skin will stretch a little bit
Turn, turn, turn, turn
What was I supposed to say?
Turn, turn, turn, turn
Everything
Turns to stone
Buildings will
Outlast me
Burning hands
Always
Always will
Hurt

Hello Hello Hello Hello
If I was the king
I was the king
Why does the king walk out
Walk out on the town
With no clothes on?
Is this the correct order?

Always wanting something new
Find it anywhere you can
Vision learning
Algorithms
Just watch out
Now you’ll find
There’s a change in your mind
When it’s most convenient
Recognizing lines
Of a trace sent online
Not impossible to think
They know, they know, they know, they know
Vision learning
Algorithms
Just watch out
I’m just a digital girl in a digital world
What an event
Rows upon rows
Of a shape never grows
Might miss my hair
They know, they know, they know, they know
You can have anything

Got a cell
Dehydrated
Sophisticated
Guess it’s fine for now
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die, right now
Found a birthday cake
Free
But you don’t see me
Guess it’s fine for now
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die, right now
Never talk
To strangers
Always walk
Off
Stop trying to kill the people
You’ve never met in your life
We’re taking careful
Consideration
We’re all full of silent
Contempt
We’re careful to ignore it
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die, right now

On a plastic casket
Cover ears, you’ll never guess
Interrupting values
See your mouth shut
I am the only one
Never in, always out
Grab the handle and pray
Leave the tunnel knowing
You’re always at fault
Dancing around
With a black cone on your head
Tried to bite my leg
It was very obvious
Always possible
It’s quite possible
Obvious and color-blind
When can we meet?
I know, I know, I know
Something
You don’t
Uh oh
Trash man rule all
I am the State
Eat your windows
Big mouth hello
Neon camo
Latex skin graft

I am a flat screen
Staring back at me
So so so serene
I am a flat screen
We like hearing pop songs
They sound like music
Iceberg’s are bigger than
Bigger than they look
1 million hurts
Repeat the words
I was living miles away
Hills are a numeral I found
Neighbors are dressed in bugs
Not a problem if I can see it
I can’t see it, I can’t see it

So, how are you doing
Now? It’s time to hear from
Dogs and cats will rain down
Don’t you overfeed them
I don’t want to live forever
All I wants to know
Is what makes you tick
See the ground in Chinatown
Can barely touch the concrete
Sunday’s are so fun now
So much time
Don’t forget to
Finish what you
Now uncomfortable
A blender for your mouth
Shout, shout, shout, shout
I go outside now
I don’t want to dig forever
All I want to ditch is this
Nervous tick
Don’t forget to
Finish what you
Started out to
Do for you
Instrumental
What’s the point of point of view when you are trying for significance?

You set it up
I see you’re sly, I see you’re sly
You rig it up
I see the tides, I see the tides
No cleaning up
I see your side, I see your side
No dressing up
All of you, all of you, all of you, all of you
I’m so cold, I’m so cold
Air is hot, air is hot
Guiltier, guiltier
Always always
Kick a nerd
I wish you would
I wish you were
I wish I could
Uninvited, uninvited
Always always
It’s
Not a party
When every single thing
Falls down

Punk You Can't Dance To
The Brankas recommends:
The best soundtrack to a book by the only Power Volume band in the world (probably). They might still have some coffee mugs with their mugs on 'em, if you're lucky.

Perfect & bonkers.

Once More Without Feeling

Michael & Jordan are heroes & the sweetest people & will make you go deaf. Which would be a shame, seeing as how this record is excellent.

Let's Keep The Hive Alive
by The Honey Hive Gallery
supported by 7 fans who also own “SAFES”
Amazing to hear the beauty of Outer District’s Twin Peaks version of Whiskey Cowboy, and 7-11 Jesus gettin’ shrieky. Epic comp overall, well done everyone — long live the Honey Hive!

Growth and Healing Through Bringing Others Down
by Shake the Baby Til the Love Comes Out
supported by 6 fans who also own “SAFES”
A prime example of ancient Martian rock. Grasping onto wavelengths originating deep beneath the surface, stbttlco blasts outward in a language long forgotten, yet so familiar. Always giving an out-of-this-world experience, this alien clockwork duo presents modern ears with a sonic maelstrom of pseudo-decayed emotion.
go to album
This L.A. noise rock duo take aim at hot air-filled aspects of our culture with thorny riffs, barbed percussion, and acidic lyrics.
