I think I'll have some peanut butter... The ending wants to make me cry. I won't let it.

I used to live on 29th and Charles, and walk down to this place where I
worked on North Avenue. And I'd pass this other place where the facing
half of the block was gone and the back half (that faced St. Paul) was
burned out. I had acutally watched the building burn one night. So the
place (the other place) gradually became a symbol of some kind of
personal desolation. At any rate it looked just like this.
And on a personaller note--the way you subvert your own sentiment right
there at the end--at the very end--thats what make you guys legion. |

This is the most beautiful birthday ballad that I have EVER heard. Not
only was I actually in Baltimore just the day after MY own last
birthday, and I did once used to live there for 12 birthdays but I LOVE
peanut butter TOO. Coincidence? I think not! Yes, I do love peanut
butter even though it does get stuck in my throat on occasion but I
find that a few UTZ potatoes chips help it go down just fine. Working
on North Avenue however is only safe when the lights are on even if you
ARE a crack whore or a prostitute. Around 29th and Charles by Hopkins
ain’t so bad though. Yes, a lovely tribute indeed. It’s just lovely how
the thing blends with the other thing right there at the part there at
the hook or bridge or thing. Just lovely. LOVELY---- A LOVELY tribute
to a lovely town from lovely peoples about a town with lovely plywood
covered brick buildings and water and asphalt and form stone row houses
and marble steps and heroin and blue crabs and earth worms and-and ants
and clover like flora in the sidewalk cracks and crack and Peter
Angelos and Martin O’Malley and the former Mayor Kirk Schmoke and don’t
forget the city council dudes (WTF) and speed balls and Kwesi Mfume and
Edgar Allan Poe and Matt Smith and Todd Petric-and–and-and-and-and
Baltimore. The City that Reads. Or BREEDS---Or Bleeds? LOVELY!!! Just
lovely! I love it. This lovely song….about Baltimore and Birthdays and
happy. HAPPY! My only complaint is that this is a little “poppy” in
that it has a real kind of synthesized sound with that pseudo processed
room ambience and surreal sampled sounding guitar and pretty
pontificating piano and. I often wish with some of your tunes that it
sounded more ”real” and less produced. I think that if you were to take
a little polish off the production that you could present a slightly
more intimate product that sounds a little more “off the cuff”. Don’t
know for sure, perhaps it’s just me? Anyway over all I’d say
it’s…………just lovely!
* cough * pass the peanut butter……..please.

The vocals are so beautiful and emotional.  Wonderful.
The cello ( or whatever the thing that I am hallucinating is a bowed
string instrument) is a perfect touch. It adds this touch of class to
the ensemble. Is it really there?
The mandolin ( or similar type thingy ) is also a sweet touch. It adds a bit of kindness to the raw emotions in the vocals.
The acappella ending is just what the tune needed.

there was one time when I used to think sreaming was therapy, but now I
think it is just the same as talking with peanut butter in your throat.
Then again, wtf is my brain supposed to collect after hearing this?
this is what the people in the middle of the earth play.

Deja vu. I've been in this bar.....
Just before 2 o'clock, they sing 'Happy Birthday' until everyone runs
outside to the beer garden. This way they can shut down the place
before it closes without too many upset patrons. |

I love the lyrics here. I would love to play this at the next birthday party I'm at while they are bringing out the cake.
Some nice harmonies here with the vocals (I am not being sarcastic). I really like this.

my fav of yours so far, In my mind the perfect song for a gaggle of
friends to walk home drunk to while practicing Monty Python's Ministry
of Silly Walks. |

Yup, you all sound drunk.
Intersting though, because it still has form.
Very raw, but it does have something in it. I can hear something more than just drunken yelling. But it's very uncut and rough.
I like the ending.

I'd forgotten about baltimore.
now i remember.
this reminds me of some of the stuff that "Glue" (an experimental band
my friend Dan and i started...and decided not to use...talent in) would
do.
i demand this be sang on my birthday. in baltimore.

I assure you that the fact that we don't use talent is not based on any decision.

This is excellent. It's musical... but simultaneously not musical.
(The Minister of Scissors wants to say that he meant no harm in saying
that you reminded him of glue who had "no talent" He was saying it was
a good thing  )
Excellent song.
