BAD LAW

My baby surrendered to fate
And I couldn’t even say how I felt later on that evening
Stating my name to the officer’s aide was in vain 
Cause I knew they were out to get me

Place four of five fingers flat on a sticky plastic bat
Scan my blue bloodshot eyes for the history of my trials

When crimes are passionate can love be separate?

En route to my cell I retraced every step
and found a way to redact and retell my story
No evidence and no witness to summon or finesse
I confess, it all sounds unlikely

A sweaty, paranoid palm pressed against a leathered wall
The law in all its flaws, me in an oversized overall 

When crimes are passionate can love be separate?

Baby it’s a bad, bad law 
It’s a bad, bad law, Geronimo
Baby it’s a bad, bad law 
It’s a bad, bad law, Geronimo
 
I straddled out on the stand
My defense scrawled on my hand
Killed time and time again but then I lost again

When crimes are passionate can love be separate?

Lyrics:

I was plucked from the sky 
pulled down into the the black goo 
an evil surrounded me 
now I’m trying to pull my way back through 
maybe I was running too fast 
too locked in, too cocky, too close to the sun 
needed to be burned on down 
well that’s how it turned out 
I’m not sure if I believe in god 
but there’s a force that’ll even odds 
leave your logic flawed 
leave you saying (insert black block_ PAPES) 
maybe that was code 
pull me off the road because I went too far from home 
maybe that was wrong but I’ll never know 
it goes exactly how it goes 
and supposing doesn't get me closer to what would’ve been 
tally the wins, rally the loss, put wind in the sails 
me and my chick, she’s bad as fuck, we on that no matter what shit 
we ain’t noting to fuck with 
same as the crew I grew up with 
from the downswing to the uptick 
the mud don’t get as thick as the blood 
and a motherfucker don’t quit ever he just learns how to trudge 
so where you are it’s a call out, roof gone, walls out 
no sir, no sale, I will see you in hell 
from the bell to the tomb I’m all out 

even lost on the rockiest road I wouldn't take another way 
even on the darkest night, even on the coldest day 
and I’ll never know if that was right until it’s too late 
so I guess I’ll do this my way 

I vibrate like five strings doing solos around the whole globe 
and I expand like rubber bands show you how low can a soul go 
and I snap in half and I put it back, no illusions 
I go into with no delusions 
I don’t know it I just fucking do it, ain’t nothing too it 
fear has got no business here 
but it don’t disappear it just lives near 
and I let that settle, prove my mettle 
and I never peddle that sentimental 
call my manager, tell him I don’t give a fuck 
should’ve quit years ago 
a buck? god damn it I do what I love 
and all my heroes are broke 

even lost on the rockiest road I wouldn't take another way 
even on the darkest night, even on the coldest day 
and I’ll never know if that was right until it’s too late 
so I guess I’ll do this my way 

I push until I break then I find me some tape 
been that way since I was a boy 
and I found that it snaps when it’s wound too tight 
now I do it lightly with time to enjoy 
when I get picked off by scope or claw 
I land with style like I planned it out 
make it work like hand-me-downs 
with a fresh new cut to sing about 

even lost on the rockiest road I wouldn't take another way 
even on the darkest night, even on the coldest day 
and I’ll never know if that was right until it’s too late 
so I guess I’ll do this my way

Down the Line

Inspired by the distinctive floating sandwich artwork of the Big Apple’s bodegas, the desire to create an updated version of the old timey sampler and our grumbling stomachs (it was almost lunchtime), we asked our current Minties—who call Vancouver, Halifax, and anywhere in between home—to share their favourite songs with us. After that, they nominated their friends to contribute tracks. Together they share the back pages of this here J-card on the first cassette Mint Records has released since Pansy Division’s Wish I’d Taken Pictures in 1996!

With plenty of flavours from across the country to choose, we let our roster be the tastemakers and picked up some savoury sounds in the process from Tough Age, Renny Wilson, Monomyth, Jay Arner, Kellarissa, Pick A Piper, and more! Many of these songs are previously unreleased and all are delicious! Photographed and coordinated by our transcontinental label manager, Shena Yoshida, and mastered by our very own Jay Arner, Hot Heros is a sonic smorgasbord for your aural appetite.

HARTHEIM - WHEN DID YOUR LAST ROSE DIE?

Slumberland Records & AED Recordings are happy to announce the release of "Rest And Be Thankful," the new album from Linden, out the June 2015 on LP, CD and download.

LP/CD: http://smarturl.it/rabtlp
iTunes: http://smarturl.it/rabtdl

Following 2012's wonderful "Bleached Highlights," an album that generated many rave reviews, Joe McAlinden is back with "Rest And Be Thankful," another elegantly soulful and emotional record. Having travelled to West Heath Yard in 2012 to work with Edwyn Collins and Sebastian Lewsley on "Bleached Highlights," Joe decided this time he needed a rural approach and it quickly became apparent that it would be easier to make a new record at home in Argyll with the Linden live band; Stuart Kidd, Eric Lindsay and Marco Rea. Joe built a makeshift studio in an old fisherman's croft on the shores of Loch Fyne, threw some logs on the fire and set about recording Rest and be Thankful which he then sent to Edwyn and Seb via courier pigeon to mix at WHY in London. The boys reckon you can hear Argyll in the music, you can feel where Joe lives... a sonic snapshot of rural life!

"Rest And Be Thankful" simply thrums with love and loss, whether it's the starkly pretty I See, which talks of someone who "leaves a shadow on the ground, even though you're not around," or the gently euphoric Broken Glass, with its Memphis Horns-esque bursts of brass. "Rest And Be Thankful" is a simply glorious album.

But let Joe talk you through it...
"The album was recorded on the west coast of Scotland and apparently you can hear this in the songs - the songs certainly sound as though they were recorded there. They feel pretty authentic to me."

"As for the album's theme, there are no common themes really. I've always written about how I feel. It's all I know. Although I do like to mask the weirdness of my fucked-up head with simple lyrics. Not every song can be a dirge!"

"I really don't listen to music when I'm working on music. I find it very distracting! Otherwise, I've been listening to all the usual suspects - Love, 'Nuggets' comps, Gene Clark, Dean Blunt, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis and I'm very big on listening to current stuff too. Not stuck in the past, me!"

"Making another record with Edwyn Collins was such a thrill. Throughout my career, I've only wanted to make albums that sound like real records - sounds dumb right? But I've always wanted to listen to me the way I listen to the rest of my record collection. I don't want my albums to sound like me, I want them to sound classic. I think with these last two records I've finally managed to achieve this. I can finally listen to something I've done and feel like I'm listening to just another record!"

"Should I explain the inspiration behind the album title? Yeah, I think so. It was inspired by a mountain pass I drive over every time I travel to and from civilisation. REST & BE THANKFUL are the words inscribed on a stone near the junction of the A83 and the B828, placed there by soldiers who built the original military road in 1753. The original stone fell into ruin and was replaced by a commemorative stone at the same site. The section is so named as the climb out of Glen Croe is so long and steep at the end that it was traditional for travellers to rest at the top, and be thankful for having reached the highest point. I know how they feel."

Superchunk returned last year with their first new album in almost ten years and those ten years have allowed them to create without a doubt the best record of their career. Majesty Shredding telescopes two decades into 41 indelible, action-packed minutes. It is the sound of youthful exuberance fine-tuned with grown-up confidence.  Superchunk as always strike a unique and effortless balance between melody and force, craft and spontaneity, the energy of youth and the wisdom of experience.

In a year when indie-rock has had a major resurgence with the likes of Surfer Blood, et al, and Les Savy Fav have regularly been covering the band's classic "Precision Auto" at the end of their sets, it makes sense that Superchunk have returned to claim their rightful position at the forefront of thoughtful, intelligent independent rock music.

They have intermittently played shows in the US  since 2001 and released a handful of singles and EPs when time allowed.  Each member has been thoroughly busy - not least Mac and Laura who have been busy running one of the biggest US independent labels operating today, MERGE RECORDS, putting out the likes of Arcade Fire, Spoon, Neutral Milk Hotel etc.
