About how boys try and be sympathetic to each other but often come up short. Especially when they're high. And about that damned dog.

Silas

In which a messianic, Nietzsche-loving and very clever boy engages in a Titanic power struggle with an equally messianic and very pretty girl. The misogyny expressed in this song is not my own. They're still together BTW and in a much healthier place.

NB: The last half of the song is basically Isolde's Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, played rather badly. If you are rightly outraged by my butchering of what is probably the high water mark of late Romantic music, may I suggest you send me money. I will spend it on a proper piano and lessons in order to prevent such poor playing from ever blighting your ears again ;-)

Kings of the Earth

This was recorded on Edison cylinder by my great-great-grandmother, Contesta Heathcoate-Hodges, at the turn of the last century. She was very much ahead of her time.

This Time I Will Take You Away

The Ritual

So, yeah, this is seasonally inappropriate, unless you're reading this when it's Christmas in which case it's seasonally appropriate. It was written the year I proclaimed (like a wanker) that I was gonna celebrate Sol Invictus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_Invictus) instead of Christmas. No one was up for it. Clinton's cards in particular did not stock Happy Sol Invictus cards. 

They've gone bust now. Just saying.

Long Winters Pass You By

These are songs that are too gay to play with my noisy band who is soundcloud.com/deadcars.
