2018 was good for music.

Here's the tracks that stuck with me all year.

Personal Favourites of 2018

"Thank You" is off of Sage Francis' COPPER GONE album, available in all formats here at Strange Famous Records: www.tinyurl.com/sfrCopperGone

This live version was recorded during SXSW 2014 at Daytrotter's studio: 
"We knew what Sage Francis was going to do to us when he came by the studio in Austin a month ago. We knew he was going to destroy us. We just didn't know he was going to destroy us as much as he wound up destroying us. He's a rapper unequaled and his new record, 'COPPER GONE', is a goddamned blessing, after a four year break between records. This particular song from the full session floored us. We were slack-jawed and stunned by the passionate delivery and sentiment in 'Thank You' and we all -- Sage included -- wanted to get this out into the world in front of the full session." - Sean Moeller www.daytrotter.com

Additional production by Lazerbeak
Vocal sample by Will Humphries, Guitar by Jake Hanson, Additional vocals by Joe Mabbott and Isaac Gale
(Dessa)
Leave when the snow melts / on the first clear night / River runs deep / walk against it / Walk til the Southern Cross peaks on the west edge / of the brine lake at the dredged end / Ruts in the mud, then gravel, then a paved one / left at the Amoco, right at the station / First train—wait / take the second headed east
/ window seat, pretty girl with the gold teeth / has a hotel key with your name on it / Stay on it til the train hits the border in the morning / Duck the conductor, leave through the back door / wait for my sign on the platform / Smoke on the skyline / welcome to Delphi / They’ll come with questions / answer what you can / everybody knows the new oracle’s at hand
(Hook)
Oh, there prolly ain’t another way / and I watch so amazed / and float through everyday / hoping I don’t float away / that I don’t float away
(Stef)
Cold world, no blanket / dark nights, no Batman, what up? / I keep a nail in the hand and a hammer on
the nightstand / locked in, no B plan / Keep the mouth shut, let em stay lost / radio up, radio off / Either
no guts or it’s so what / rather read up then trust my neck to the blood suck / Full moon, hand fulla silver bullets / high noon all day with these assholes / How soon is too soon to pull it when I doubt they count they paces at all / So fly took a bullet in the wax wing / so high but didn’t get the chance to melt / so tight how when he came down didn’t even look scared / just eased on back into the veldt
(Hook)
(Sims)
The woods are deep / yeah them woods are deep / I was drinking that cheap shit to fall asleep / and really solely to hold my feet / because these days I’ve been taking that heavy so lightly / that I might float away completely / in my psyche I’m the natural man in a Black Friday stampede / LED murder spree for cheap / and the video screams Worldstar War Z / I’m feeling dirty but feeling so good I just smile at the thieves / fold up a note in the breeze / I’ve got a few miles to go before I concede
(Hook)
(Cecil)
You got it wrong, but you got it made / a lot of weight but you gotta wait for a lot of aid though / and I’m not a maid or amazed by the raise in your payroll / ergo silence the offers / High-wire walkers, child actors / ain’t vying for your father figure fodder / Otter out, we outta town, you outta line you lil faulker / taut line from the dock to the Oscars
(Mike)
And I’m reading like a Rorschach / hiding lines in the pantomime, allegory in a smirk / Where my eyes won’t take you my moves do that work, a nonverbal creep / Where the O.G.s weep / slide, slip, test glide / Connect like catchin rec like R-E-S-P-I-R-ation from the Westside / Now it’s strong in the Midwest in my own nation
/ got a fam and we crewed up in sub-clans, no subjugation / with the wings and the chops, put the beans
in the pot / like the seeds to the crop, Doomtree No Kings cut the top / head em off at the neck, better off dead, dead em all / better them than you, right? / Forever type shit
(Hook)

iTunes: http://smarturl.it/simsmte
Bandcamp: http://sims.bandcamp.com

LYRICS
I heard they prey on weak / I heard they play for keeps / I feel em grabbing at my feet / I heard them say don't speak / I just hit another level / watch em try to pull me down / with the petty, with the heavy / put the devil in the crown / what can I say to you? / I’m too right brain for you / Twain my communique / you are what's in supreme / fuck boy starter pack / I’m Huck Finn, huck shit, Hassoi / living art in fact / I see deceit, I see em back stab / I’ve got no need for that / I’m sliding off like the god damn pizza rat / I’m out, I’m out, with that free that I just found / my sound and it bumps / look at what amounts from the jump / and I’m never coming down

I am living lawless thinking I won’t come down, come down / I am flying high now thinking I won’t come down, come down

all the doubters, they can shout from the towers  / I just laugh, I just stay up / what a way to waste your hours / I’m not wastin, I'm not wastin / boy I'm racing,  got no patience / I ain't stressing count my blessings / I go right into it / burn the brightest til It’s done  / right into the sun
more cognitive than dissonance / they call me Icarus /I am stretching my whole frame out / they’re readying their takedowns from safe ground / pulling all their blades out / cut me up, cut me up, what they really gonna take? / cuff me to the truth of failure ay that's okay / why you’re living like a stowaway, I go my own / far from perfect but let no person put a verdict on that, no way / cannot touch me, cannot touch me / I am beauty I am ugly / I am living art / play your part

LYRICS

I’ve been Wendy
living with the Lost Boys
youth spent as a deckhand on the convoy
moved every night to prove we were something
got confused if it was from or to that we were running. 
I've seen Gibraltar
I’ve seen the Taj Mahal
Soweto, Hagia Sophia 
Chefchaouen paints their walls blue
I’ve played to full rooms
I’ve played the fool too 
burning through the bottoms of a pair of new boots
Cut my hair
tape my tits down 
A woman on her own must be from out of town
funny, you don’t know the concessions that you’re making until you catalog em
and by then they’re many and you’re battle-hardened. 
Heat makes liquid of the asphalt 
keepsakes and parking tickets on the dashboard 
I'm here to file my report as the vixen of the wolf pack; 
tell Patient Zero, he can have his rib back. 

Chorus
You can count my ribs
Wanna know what class I’m in—
Count my,
You can count my ribs. 

You can’t be too broke to break
as a woman
Always something left to take 
so you shouldn't  
try to stay too late or talk to strangers
look too long, go too far out of range cause
angels can’t watch everybody all the time
stay close, hems low, safe inside;
that formula works if you can live it 
but it works by putting half the world off limits. 

Chorus

We don’t say, Go out and be brave
nah, we say Be careful, stay safe 
in any given instance, that don't hurt
but it sinks in like stilettos in soft earth,
like the big win is a day without an incident 
I beg to differ with it
I think a woman’s worth
I think that she deserves 
a better line of work 
than motherfucking vigilance.
Don’t give me vigilance
by definition 
you can’t make a difference 
if the big ambition 
is simply standing sentry to your innocence  
that’s not a way to live 
that can’t be what a woman is
that gives her nothing to aspire to.
What that is—
what that is
is just a life of running fire drills. 

We’re runnin fire drills.

THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING ME REACH 10K!

This (https://imgur.com/a/S1DrU) is my SoundCloud account back in 2013 before laxcity was even a project. It's so wonderful to look back at this because its a reminder of how much I've improved as well as where I started from. At one point on this journey, there was a lot of discouragement that caused me to give up. But then a massive variety of diverse and awesome human beings came into my life, and I've never looked back since! There's been so much support and growth in my music in the past year and it's unbelievable the number of lives I've been able to bless with the art I create. All i can say at this point is a huge thank you to all those that support what i do and i hope you enjoy whats to come in future! 🌹
