Blitzen Trapper "Thirsty Man" Live at KDHX 9/18/13

A New Compilation Featuring 16 Michigan Bands, Proceeds Go Towards Combating Climate Change.
350 parts per million is what many scientists, climate experts, and progressive national governments are now saying is the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere.

Unless we are able to rapidly return to 350 ppm this century, we risk reaching tipping points and irreversible impacts such as the melting of the Greenland ice sheet and major methane releases from increased permafrost melt.
On October 24th 2009, people around the world and all throughout Michigan will unite to demand change.

The Strutt, and the I.D.E.A. Association will be hosting a panel discussion on the subject of sustainable development for Kalamazoo. After the event, we will be hosting regular public forums to help facilitate a local sustainable development project. Proceeds from the CD sales will go toward design and implementation.
The success of the 350 movement depends on you! Stay involved! Don't remain silent!

Current Swell - Gunshots - Ulysses

The cortex hums in violet steam
A crack appears between the dream
Through that slit the notion creeps
And whispers to the place that sleeps

I feel the surface start to swell
Ideas with teeth begin to yell

Protrusive thoughts, they push and bloom
Flesh of reason, split in the room
They want the air, they want the skin
They press until the light leaks in

My clinical hand records the stain
A blooming node of conscious pain
Each concept hisses, sharp and bright
Like neurons fighting for the night

The measured graphs all start to sing
Of memories that bite and cling

Protrusive thoughts, with forward grace
They rise and kiss the hidden face
The mind expands, the walls deform
The self becomes a pushing swarm

Elastic doubt and lucid bone
Converge beneath the cortical throne
A sentence grows, it aches to shout
My skull forgets to keep it out

The lab lights hum like ancient bees
My intellect begins to freeze

Protrusive thoughts, obscene and pure
The treatment fails, but I’m the cure
They breach the folds where silence hid
And teach me what the body did

They push through speech, through tranquil eyes
They crown themselves as small goodbyes
They stretch my head, my language bends
Where thinking breaks but never ends

I hear the neurons call my name
And crown the fracture as acclaim

Protrusive thoughts, my final kin
They press their faces on the skin
The mind is full, the form is caught
I am the thought that once was thought

Protrusive Thoughts

Shoofly Pie
