KharBevNor:
Skyclad lyrics are seven types of awesome.

Anal Cunt - Big Pants, Bigger Loser

happybirthdaygelatin:
That I can agree with.

Also I am listening to nothing.  Damn this job.

KharBevNor:
Well, I was listening to Anorexia Nervosa - The Drudenhaus Anthem, yet you talked about Skyclad, so now I am listening to

Skyclad - Great Blow for a Day Job

Just a wierd little song about a banker who sells his soul to the devil so he can play in a fiddle band. I love the playful and positive slant on the whole thing.

"Here I am - your good friend Norman, not so humble anymore.
Others age - but I look younger, stronger that I did before.
I used to drive a Fiat Panda - now a lime green Cadillac.
Guess my story goes to show not all the 'devils' own' dig black.

I know there is a price I must pay for my thirty years misspent,
when my satanic manager recoups my soul (100%).
I'll meet him at the crossroads, midnight chimes - my time has come
to party with the 'porno-queens' down by the shores of Acheron.

I'll party on in Acheron!"

mechorg:
Tortoise - "Simple Way to Go Faster Than Light That Does Not Work"

...eh... and i used to think that Tortoise wasn't a pretentious band.  still love them, though!

CDs in 3disc rotation on the playa:
Tortoise - TNT
Sigur Ros - ()
Boards of Canada - Twoism


...yeah, those three spend a lot of time in my stereo

KharBevNor:
Skyclad - Building a Ruin

"I've looked back on my time - the names and the faces,
A child long ago that I nearly forgot,
And felt like someone who'd just stepped on the place
where the last stair should have been - (then found it was not).

Life's just a process of delamination,
Stripping your hopes - dissecting them gently.
I've opened my heart - and to my consternation
when I peered inside it was small, dark and empty.

[Chorus]
My friends turn to me - wonder what I am doing,
drinking and smoking like somebody died.
I said "Leave me alone I'm just building a ruin,
The spirits are sunken - so the wreckage must rise."

I'm building a ruin - I ruin a building,
My bridges are burned out - my tunnels are filled in.

It's all a game I believe - the longer you play it the harder it gets.
The most I can hope to achieve now's my breakfast,
a priest with a blindfold and last cigarette..."

Un-necessary song-quotation ftw!
