Maybe this is why I kind of hate it? I'm excited about David Byrne and Ghostface but this is not for me. I'm very sorry. Thanks for posting

[Alice]

I mean it's catchy and seems well-crafted. I'd like to say this much

[Elphenor]

yea but don't write off XTC until you've heard Drums & Wires

or go right ahead, it's your life to ruin

You know I was kind of hoping this was gonna be this song. I hear it lots at work but didn't know what it was called and haven't listened to it when I could actually pay attention. This is very good. Thanks

Honey you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door

I mean this guy's voice is objectively good right? I wish the music did more for me but fuck it I'll stick around to hear him sing

It's three o'clock in the morning,
You get a phone call
From the queen with a hundred heads
She says that they're all dead
She tried the last one on
It couldn't speak, fell off
And now she just wanders the halls
Thinking nothing
Thinking nothing at all

She says is this the Return to Oz?
The grass is dead
The gold is brown
And the sky has claws.
there's a wind-up man
Walking round and round.
What once was Emerald City's
Now a Crystal Town

Sorry to go out of order here I just got excited about David Byrne. I would definitely listen to this on LSD. One of my favorite times doing acid was spent in a car next to a park and we listed to the local jazz station all night and it seemed like the stars were dancing to the music and it was really great

[Elphenor]

I did XTC because I really liked XTC and Happy Mondays

[Alice]

All I could think of was you

Yeah that hits the spot. Thank you

[Alice]

Also Thalia Hall was mentioned and I saw Swans there with the person who made this whole thread a possibility and wow it makes me sad to think about but we don't need to talk about that. Take me back Chicago. I miss you read bad
