that's not honesty

this is my inspirational song.

P.O.S. - Purexed

Chorus:
So fuck it back to the wall/
crush it/ laugh at em all/
hush/ let em try to find the beauty in your face/
something more than a song/
they hatin? Aw come on/
dust/ let em try to find the beauty in the bassline/
aw but then them words dont change/
we wont sing with what will fade away/
yeah we do our own damn thing/
we dont blink at what tomorrow might bring (at all)/

Aw but then them words they dont change/
we wont sing with what will fade away/
yeah we do our own damn thing/
we dont blink at what tomorrow might bring (at all)/


Bought the CD a few weeks ago at Rasputin. I liked messing around with the alternative CD covers. Also heard "Savion Glover" on 103.3 FM today.

favorites
The Belleville Outfit
With a tight, seamless sound — a mix of gypsy swing, big band, jazz, country and cross-genre Americana roots music, original songs and clever covers — the astonishing six-piece belies the 20-something ages of its members and its vast experience garnered swiftly after its union
from Austin. Makes me feel all bouncy. Clear sound too.

rock
Bang! Bang! Eche!
electropunk from Christchurch, NZ. Just try not dancing to this.
Bang Bang Eche formed the day after three of the kids got arrested for LARPing in public...
"We think our EP is best described as a five-track foray into the “Land Before Time” but in this movie the dinosaurs play synths and sixteenth beats, and the T-Rexes are all dancing along and shit,” collectively spoke Bang Bang Eche

haha
Black and White Years
reggae-flavored psychedelic/electro-ish rock from Austin

country
Nell Bryden
low-key but full midtempo sound from New York

hip-hop
Buff1
interesting rap about commercial radio. From Ann Arbor.

classical
Volodja Balzalorsky & Michelle Schumann
violinist and pianist from Ljubljana.

electronic/dance
Black Cherry
sweet-voiced electronic/dance outfit from London
Bloodgroup
synth-heavy stuff from Reykjavik. Yes I'm dancing to it right now.

pop
Backseat Goodbye
cute, peppy, radio-friendly singer-songwriter stuff from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Bam Bam
fun, upbeat, rock from Monterrey, Mexico, with some cool quirky and dark touches
Beach House
airy, dreamy stuff from Baltimore
Blind Pilot
more cute atmospheric low-key stuff yay. From Portland.

bubbly vocals and nice old-fashioned sound from Halifax.
Grecco Buratto
pleasant Brazilian music from LA

oddities
Babydick
Austin industrial/metal band what
Belladonna
Roman "rock-noir" band with slightly overheated vocals. Slightly edgier than the Hot Topic set of bands. but there's something there. not sure what to think.
Bigelf
simplistic lyrics for "Money, It's Pure Evil," but interesting idea and alright psychedelic sound for this LA band
Biscuit Brothers
starts out with different versions of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," then gets into ultra-earnest radio button what. From Austin.

After one week or more, I've finally figured out that this icon is of a cat reading a book with a statue. Not a cat playing a tiny gray piano.
