The Lucky Ones

After meeting in 1992 as members of St Etienne's touring band, Debsey Wykes (Dolly Mixture) and Paul Kelly (East Village) turned their shared love of the soft rock and sunshine pop of the 1960s and 1970s into the now-legendary Birdie. In the summer of 1998 Birdie recorded their debut album "Some Dusty" with the estimable Brian O'Shaughnessy (Denim, Moose, The Clientele). It's a deep and beautiful album, with melodic & sophisticated (yet understated) arrangements providing the perfect setting for Debsey's sweet and soulful soft-pop vocals. Add in gorgeous string arrangements from The High Llamas' Sean O'Hagan and you have all the makings of a pop classic. Subsequent singles and a second album cemented their reputation as top-notch purveyors of pop, but family life and other artistic pursuits called and Birdie has only been sporadically active since 2001. Their brief but perfectly-formed discography has become the stuff of legend, though, charming savvy pop fans around the world with its timeless songcraft and flawless production. Summer 2024 will see the long overdue vinyl reissue of "Some Dusty" on US indie label Slumberland Records, returning this classic album to much-needed availability in deluxe remastered form with a deluxe 60s-style laminated heavy card jacket and a fine insert with rare photos and liner notes by Chickfactor’s Gail O’Hara.

Gonna shove something soon...
Had It Up To Here by songwriter Edwin H. Balder
Time comes when your done!
Had It Up To Here by songwriter Edwin H. Balder
The screen’s still flashing, the world’s too loud,
another promise lost in the crowd.
The coffee’s cold, the bills stack tall,
and the same old fight just hits the wall.
I bite my tongue, hold back the tears,
but I’ve had it up to here.
I wake up early, punch the clock,
drive the same damn road that just won’t stop.
The boss keeps talking, the pay stays thin,
while dreams I had get boxed back in.
I used to think I'd make it far,
now I'm stuck between this dive and a rusty car.
Every push, every shove,
keeps testing what I’m made of.
I’ve had it up to here, I’ve had enough,
standing in the fire, but it don’t burn tough.
I’ve carried the weight, I’ve swallowed the pain,
but this ain't how my story's gonna stay.
I’ve had it up to here, can’t break my will—
I’m done just climbing, no more run of the mill
Mama said the good times roll,
but they don’t when the gas runs cold.
Every dream costs more than cents,
and every mile comes with consequence.
I used to pray for open roads,
now I just want a place to call my own.
Every push, every shove,
keeps testing what I’m made of.
I’ve had it up to here, I’ve had enough,
standing in the fire, but it don’t burn tough.
I’ve carried the weight, I’ve swallowed the pain,
but this ain't how my story's gonna stay.
I’ve had it up to here, can’t break my will—
I’m done just climbing, no more run of the mill
I kicked up dust, I let it slide,
I let the world decide my ride.
But tired ain't broken, bruised ain't done,
and quitting’s just for those who run.
So if they want to take me down,
they’ll have to bury me in this ground.
I ain’t waiting, I ain’t scared,
I ain’t folding to what ain’t fair.
If you want a fight, you’ve got one here,
‘cause I’ve had it up to here.
I’ve had it up to here, I’ve had enough,
standing in the fire, but it don’t burn tough.
I’ve carried the weight, I’ve swallowed the pain,
but this ain't how my story's gonna stay.
I’ve had it up to here, can’t break my will—
I’m done just climbing, no more run of the mill,,,
no more run of the mill
no more....no more...... run of the mill

Not Dead Yet

Since his earliest self-produced CD-Rs, Philadelphia psych-pop master Kurt Vile has referred to himself as "Philly's Constant Hitmaker"—and while he gave himself that name with a sly wink, he was also nodding toward the songwriting prowess that would result in him becoming one of his home city's most celebrated rock artists. "I’m always thinking about catchy music, even though it’s fried, or sizzled, out," he says. "It's my own version of a classic thing—it's moving forward and backward at the same time." 
On his latest album, (watch my moves), Vile pulls his talents as a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer in unexpected directions—and the result is a vibrant, yet meditative album propelled by Vile's laid-back charm and curious spirit. Every lyric has been chiseled down into an aphorism, every bloom of distorted guitar or murmuring synth helping create that "fried" pop. "It's about songwriting. It's about lyrics. It's about being the master of all domains in the music," he says of his ninth album and first in partnership with a major label, Verve Records.
(watch my moves) comes from a period when Vile, whose touring and recording schedule during the 2010s was seemingly constant, stayed in one place. His mind was always swirling, though, puzzling out pointillistic lyrics, dreaming up spit-shined choruses, and checking in on other dimensions. "My favorite pastime these days is sitting drinking coffee in the morning post-breakfast by the window, reading and listening to Sun Ra, sun shining through the forest trees," says Vile. "In that moment, it's all the traveling I'll ever need. This record encapsulates all that—letting two years roll by and staying in my zone, traveling all the while in my brain, at the piano or in my guitar."
