Painting of a Bee

Goodbye Horses

Lyrics:

I hope it all goes well
I really hope you don't die alone
With roaches at your funeral
and hey
At least you got it off your chest
Like some virtuous accomplishment
We're all so proud forget about it

Where to go
I can't begin
So I
Push these feelings
Down again
Blah

Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on
Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on

My track shoes on
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on

Stench is just a molecule
Swept up from its host by the environment
But careful don't get too close
Oh no
It's not you
Must be my overly sensitive senses
Clouding what must be true

Where to go
I can't begin
So I
Push these feelings
Down again
Blah

Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on
Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on

Oh hey yeah sorry we haven't talked
Oh it's been that long
Yeah I guess I've just been super busy
Weird how fast time goes
Remember that one thing you did
Yeah I can see why that would be harder on you
Oh you've changed
Oh wow good for you
Really happy for all your progress
Sorry we haven't talked
I guess I just didn't know where to start

Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on
Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on

Is goodbye one word or two words
Did I forget to turn the lights off in my room
Man I really need to cut my fingernails
I should probably grab some food before it gets too late
Do I have clean underwear for tomorrow
I really need to clean my sheets
When does the store close
It's so dusty on my desk

Jeanines' 2019 self-titled debut was an indiepop tour-de-force that drew from a deep set of DIY pop influences, garnering attention from well beyond the international pop underground. Now they're back with "Don't Wait For A Sign," and it's a real gem; shaped by the pandemic, it's deeper and a bit darker than their debut and ultimately even more satisfying. The new single "Who's In The Dark" is 90 seconds of indiepop perfection, hearkening back to everything from 60s folk/sunshine-pop legends Wendy & Bonnie to post-Black Tambourine Pam Berry projects like The Shapiros and The Castaway Stones. Alicia's beautiful vocal melodies wrap themselves around the tune like a honeyed blanket, and the result is supremely beguiling.

Hello this is Shony of Orange Dots, I also run Recorded Psychic Readings. I want to tell you why this collection of songs is so special to me. Michael Mersereau of 18 frames per second and I go way way way back. He was there for me when my dad died in 97, he was there for me when I was homeless, and he happens to be one of the most creative and kind people I’ve ever known.

These 18 frames per second songs have been on my mind for 20+ years and I’m so glad that I get to introduce them to the world. I remember Mike playing me these 18fps songs while in his parents living room in 2001 and being blown away. For me, they nail the dark romanticism of the Bay Area as well as the LA sleaze of the early 2000s in a way that not many other groups were able to accomplish.

Enjoy - Shony

"Look Again" is the third single from Artsick's "Fingers Crossed" and shows quite a different side of the band. Where previous singles were uptempo punk-infused jammers, "Look Again" slows the pace to match the mood of heartbreak and contemplation. The band's Christina says: "It's about the loss of a beautiful relationship and the soul crushing realization it was your fault." The song's blend of fuzz and longing melody fits that remit perfectly, and is a great showcase for Christina's 90s influences, like Hole, Sloan and Tiger Trap. Beautiful.
