Unstable Journey

Taken from "Vampire on Titus" 1993

"The poised tongues on easy street
Are shifting and delivering
The insidious snakes/the hackers and the meat
Are counting out the face of things
I know when you bring back sweet Dougy's? car
You don't tell him where it has been
He's funny and cool and so is your pose
Conditional love wins out again
I'm feeling good and I don't know if that's alright
Deep in the rot I can't distinguish day from night
But all of it will transpire
Transactions made through the wire
Kiss me while I still speak
Hold me as I'm too weak
Enjoy it...delusions
Pushing closer to the rush
Opening and closing
You recognize me--feel the hush"

This song reminds me of Sebadoh in big chunks. Its fuzzed up and the chord progression and the vocals are pure Lou Barlow. Maybe more Sentridoh, May more Sebadoh. There is a really good song in amongst all the feedback and an old gem when American Indie was proper lo-fi and obscure. Hail the days of Pavement and Sebadoh.
