Sharpie Crows - Endless Empty Eye

For the second annual Cassette Store Day we will release the 12 track compilation 'Jam Kids: 20 Years since Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain'.

Shared interests go a long way in small towns, so when two goofy teenagers bonded over a mutual love of Pavement it laid some pretty solid foundations for 4 years of running a label together. When we realised it had been 20 years since the release of their seminal album ‘Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain’ we thought we had better do something about it.

We’ve got together with some of our favourite friends, finest DIY noise makers and bands we never expected a  yes from and asked each artist to cover a separate track from the album. What’s come out the other end is truly something truly spectacular. 

1. Junk - Silence Kid
2. Shunkan - Elevate Me Later
3. Paws - Stop Breathin'
4. Dog Legs - Cut Your Hair
5. Joey Fourr - Newark Wilder
6. Year of Birds - Unfair
7. Pet Cemetry - Gold Soundz
8. Flamingods - 5-4=Unity
9. Trust Fund - Range Life
10. Beat Easton - Heaven is a Truck
11. The Black Tambourines - Hit the Plane Down
12. Poledo - Fillmore Jive 

As it’s a bit weird making profit from other people’s music, we will be donating all profits from this release to DIY Space for London (http://diyspaceforlondon.org). The release is limited to 200 and comes with a series of badges. If you’d like to ensure that you get your hands on a copy, please contact your local record shop and ask them to stock the release on September 27th. Any leftover copies will be sold via our shop on October 4th – if you’d like to be notified when these are available – please visit here...

03 - Paws - Stop Breathin' (Pavement cover)

SweetHomeAlabama

My mind is bringing me back to easier days
When fun was riding a bike without any brakes
When you’re part of the pack because of your address 
My mind is bringing me back to easier days

If I could turn back time
If I could clear my mind
If I could come back home, when mom and dad were both alive
Tell me, where do I sign?

Our child is bringing me back to easier days
When fun was staying up late and dancing in the rain
When I was crushing on you all summer break
Our child is bringing me back to easier days

If I could turn back time
If I could clear my mind
If I could come back home, when mom and dad were both alive
Tell me, where do I sign?

I wished upon a star
That I’d never move far
That I’d feel this way evermore, evermore
That I’d stay forever young
That you’d be the one I love
That we’d feel this way evermore, evermore

If I could turn back time
If I could clear my mind
If I could come back home, when mom and dad were both alive

If I could turn back time
If I could clear my mind
If I could come back home, when mom and dad were both alive
Tell me, where do I sign?

The skies are bringing me back to easier days

Tough Times Never Last Entertainment 

Let Me Rest (prod SHVRS)

The Hopheads - No Chance Saloon

This song celebrates the expressive power of slide guitar blues.  The verses focus on the physical act of playing, describing the fingers dancing across the fretboard and the smooth, slow start of the slide guitar.  The imagery evokes a sense of intimacy and concentration, as if the guitarist is deeply connected to their instrument. The guitar's sound is described as painting pictures and resonating with truth, suggesting that the music conveys emotions and stories that words cannot. The choruses use the metaphor of a "silent/mute canvas" to represent the guitar before the music begins.  The fingers are the artist's tools, and the slide blues is the language they use to express feelings and uncover hidden depths within the silence. The repeated line about the "purest shade" and "energizing solo" emphasizes the raw, powerful emotion conveyed through the music.  The overall theme is the trans-formative power of music, particularly slide guitar blues, to communicate deep emotions and break through the silence.

The inspiration for Living in a Dream comes from questioning the world around us and the nature of existence itself. It's driven by the fascination that anything exists at all and grapples with understanding the consciousness we experience, knowing we can only perceive what we're capable of knowing. The song explores the contrast between accepting that everything is real while questioning the very realm we reside in. Metaphor and fact blend throughout the lyrics, capturing the feeling of enjoying life while acknowledging we may never fully comprehend what we’re enjoying. Sonically, vibrant and slightly distorted colors inspired the production, creating contrasts between the verses and chorus to highlight this existential wonder.
