LO-Fi FUN FACTORY - Inexplicable Green

Newly Ordered World exemplifies the playful side of our second LP Iron Heart. It's a catchy irresistible gem that you'd expect from Manic Pixi a la our debut album Sugar Bomb. But the lyrics get darker- more real. The instrumentals more complex. Newly Ordered World is the hard truths in poppy packaging- that's what we love about it

Newly Ordered World

School is back in session! A decade removed from our acclaimed Homeschooled compilation comes a new class of talent show titans. With enterprising parents, neighbors, and teachers turning play dates into recording dates, groups like Magical Connection, Little Man and the Inquires, and Five Ounces of Soul emulated the Jacksons, who'd made grade-school stardom appear easy as ABC. Afterschool Special: The 123s Of Kid Soul contains 19 tiny tunes ranging from bilingual D.A.R.E. anthem, to James Brown bio, to young love and life beyond the playground.

THE FAIRWEATHER BAND - A New Language

The first single from James Leonard Hewitson.

Produced by Chris McManus.

Lyrics:

It's okay to walk away from the things you don't have to walk towards
Sometimes it's natural to feel less obliged than you did before
It doesn't interest me any more
It doesn't interest me any more

Just because you care less, doesn't mean that you are careless
Just because you love less, doesn't mean that you are loveless

I feel our common interests slipping away as they change
This is real and perhaps knowing you was just a phase
It doesn't interest me any more
No it doesn't interest me any more

Just because you care less, doesn't mean that you are careless
Just because you love less, doesn't mean that you are loveless

(Middle section)

Just because you care less, doesn't mean that you are careless
Just because you love less, doesn't mean that you are loveless
Just because you care less, doesn't mean that you are careless
Just because you love less, doesn't mean that you are loveless

Whoa-oh...

Care Less, Love Less
