Basketball

A raw, unapologetic expression of emotion through music and words. Jacob Fair dives deep into the struggles of love, loss, and self-discovery, blending haunting melodies with confessional lyrics. With every track, he channels the pain, heartbreak, and angst of adolescence and young adulthood, turning it into anthems for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood. His sound is a mix of moody instrumentals, melodic rap, and emo-inspired vibes—a space where vulnerability meets authenticity.

Rejection

I have a lot of material finished now that I was going to inflict on the world earlier in the year but then the stuff that has happened and is still happening happened. A lot of my new tracks are a bit on the heavy/morose/miserable side, but this one about fear of haircuts is relatively cheery - and haircuts are kind of topical at the moment - so there is that.

Your hair is growing
With some profusion
Soon it will
Cover your eyes
I foresee problems in
High wind conditions and
Risk of entanglement in
Branches of thorny shrubs

I know you don’t wanna hear it
But we all
Know when it’s time it’s

Time for a trim, it's time for a trim, time for a trim
Time for a trim, it's time for a trim, time for a trim
Time for a trim, it’s time for a trim, it's time for a trim
We all know when it’s time for a trim

Your hair is growing
With great profusion
Soon it will
Obscure your vision
I foresee problems
Problems at bath time and
Risk of entanglement in
Open machinery

I know you don't wanna hear it [etc.]
[Repeat chorus]

It's time for a trim it's
Time for a trim it's
Time for a trim it's
Time to face your fear

It’s alright for girls they
They know the secret language of haircuts (but)
I just don't want to look stupid
All I really want is the same as whatever it was you did last time

Mm I think it's time for trim
That's now clear to everyone

I know you don't wanna hear it [etc.]

DON'T ASK ME

Don't ask me
'Cos I don't know
Said don't ask me
'Cos I don't know

On my Roberts radio
On my Roberts radio

It never gets better alone
Oh no
It never gets better alone

Don't ask me
'Cos I don't know
Why ask me
'Cos I don't know

Come in.. Come in... Come in...

Don't ask me
'Cos I don't know
Said don't ask me
'Cos I don't know

On my Roberts radio
On my Roberts radio

It never gets better alone
Oh no

Never gets better

'Cos I don't know
Why ask me
'Cos I don't know

Don't ask me baby
I don't know I don't know I don't know

Don't Ask Me

A long time ago, we created this song in collaboration with our friend Reverence. It was originally released on Bandcamp as part of Doc Torthis' album, Sounds For Sore Ears Vol. 1, the proceeds of which were meant to help him offset the costs of running his independent radio station, Dólfinngr Radio. Dólfinngr Radio is now gone, but the song lived on, thanks mostly to Eddie Shook kindly playing it on his biweekly show, Anything Goes. It's been through several revisions over the years, and we thought it might finally be time to put a version of it up on Soundcloud. So we took a couple takes, and started trying to teach ourselves some of the finer points of using a (somewhat?) legitimate DAW. 

Needless to say, today we discovered reverb. Whoa.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening.

Woman (Lyrics)

Woman I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all, I'm forever in your debt
And woman I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success

Ooh, well well
Doo doo doo, doo doo
Ooh, well well
Doo doo doo, doo doo

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

Ooh, well well
Doo doo doo, doo doo
Ooh, well well
Doo doo doo, doo doo

Woman please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again

I love you, yeah yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah yeah
Now and forever

All Lyrics Written By John Lennon @Copyright1980.

John Lennon 80th Birthday Tribute - Woman (DMc Cover)

Dedicated to my wife...

Come on rise with me from the depths of hell
No one’s coming to our rescue so it ain’t a hard sell
We’re going to crawl till we walk then run things as well 
stand shoulder to shoulder let’s rebel let’s rebel 
blood pumping through our veins heart rate excel 
will we survive another battle only time will tell
try with me —-cry with me—spread your wings and fly with me
Be bold ——-let’s push it to the limit heart and soul 
ain’t no stopping till we reach our goal 
reminisce about it as we grow old 
its my world ——and your world let’s go that extra mile 
you know you want to it’s just your style

Back to basics hack the matrix 
blink your eyes I know I aced 
it ain’t no trick it’s time we faced it 
done before —-the risk I’ll take it 
I’ve got what you want 
I’ve got what you need 
come on baby 
it’s time that we proceed— 
it’s time that we proceed

Wasn’t born with an “S” on my chest
I put my best foot forward 
always bringing my best 
nothing less take it advantage of time 
strategize and invest 
benchmarks put in place to measure my success 
Holding on to my dreams 
renew and refresh

What else can we say but Funk 2020.  It's been brutal for so many.  We're hoping you can find the groove here with us as we send 2020 out.  As always, Pinner is hot, working his magic on the super tasty wah rhythm guitar and lead work.  Of course, thanks to Parliament for the simple bass line that it all revolves around.
