very apparent how heartfelt this material is

Solid Eastern Star

frantically flipping through pages, all my bad dreams are encased in pavement
the last four years of my life stuck in a basement, with dust so thick you can taste it
grin and bear the scars on your skin for the moneyed eyes and ears of modern men
you can sell the stories in a pretty package, the metal in your heart will drain faster then your pen
and theres really nothing you can do, my mouth is a broken record full of old news
a plaster piece of the past stuck in the crooked teeth of a monster mask
I'm staring off my back porch, my winter hands mirror of the gaunt of trees
just give me something to believe, just give me a reason to drop down to my knees

I remember the better times, when our bodies were in their prime
I remember the better times, when our bellies were filled with wine
I remember the better times, when our bodies were in their prime
I remember the better times, these days it seems I'm always looking behind
I remember last December, I remember eyes of ember

sitting lonely with a broken phonograph and phone
that never rings, things fall apart and I sing
songs about the past, nothing seems to last
scratch at the stars until your nails break in half
the same joke can only be funny to so many people so many times
the same song can't bolt the contours of bones covered in corroding lines
the failed design, my skeleton smile looks pretty in yearbook photographs
glaring at a black and white catalog, a collection of faceless features with eyes of glass
and I'm trying to remember the better times, fill in the holes in my head and the holes in my mind
but its searching for something I can't find, you cant rewind the days you have left behind

and you think nothing will ever last
and you say, I got nothing left but your summer dress
and you say, I got everything I need and those thoughts are behind me

better times

An experiment to see how far I could take Nanostudio's sample+synthesis. All sounds, including drums, were made by cutting up and mangling the app's included "Dalek saying 'Mobile Phones'" sample (you can hear it at the end).

Viva La Eden!

The Nanostudio source file available here. It's only 122k!

Thomas Prime - Shadows In The Light

Holed up in various basements across Fort Collins and Denver, Colorado, otem rellik (Toby Hendricks) has made the best of badly lit recording spaces with dusty floors and creaking ceilings. With a never-ending list of influences, otem’s music, though rooted in hip hop, resonates with a wide spectrum of musical appetites. Whether harmonizing a powerful chorus or spilling out rough, sometimes guttural raps, rellik’s regard for poetic lyricism is underscored by humbling and translucent honesty. otem stands mastermind on stage behind a hollowed-out suitcase full of mostly homemade electronic gizmos, involuntarily forced through a series of pedals and mixers. His showcase of emotional lyrics and clutching musicality has been seen all over Colorado as well as the west coast, Canada, and an eight stop European tour of Germany and France. otem rellik has won the Best Hip Hop award from the Fort Collins Music Association from 2009 – 2011. He has shared the stage with acts such as Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Foot Foot, Pictureplane, Astronautalis, Bleubird, Sole and the Skyrider Band, Restiform Bodies, Cars and Trains, Ceschi Ramos and many more.
