Robertus' Song of the Week

In the hall I heard your faints falling
Your trial and my corrections made
You had all the prayer of my loose heart
You had all the prayers of my

No I was not there on the church stairs
The wind in my hair a flood through my tear
No I was not there on the church stairs
The wind in my hair a flood through my tear

Me I wanted, I wanted the right time
Me I wanted, I wanted the fire in line
Me I wanted, I wanted the right time
Me I wanted, I wanted the fire in line



This week's SotW is "Guyamas Sorona" by Beirut (a song I've been listening to in the cah lately). A return performance from Beirut, which I'd hoped to avoid, but here it is at ten of seven on Sunday and I'd not posted a thing. Like everything else on The Flying Club Cup, they performed this live in Brooklyn for La Blogothèque. Enjoy!

Updates So Brief That They Are Already Finished

Sitting in the office working hard at not working hard, figured I'd alter the links I've been meaning to alter. Hooray lax internet policy!

Links now go to We're Only Human and Blog Folmerica, the former written by a coworker of mine, the latter by a lad with whom I attended high school. Enjoy at your leisure. We bid a fond adieu to Altercation, which isn't up where it was anymore, and I hadn't read in a dog's age.

More to come, links and otherwise.

Robertus' Song of the Week

My mind is logical, can often see through
what first may seem true, and it don’t believe you.
But my body, it trusts you, for my body’s insane
But my body’s often more powerful than my brain.
Oh my voice is a-rising, it won’t let me rest
My mind it screams no but my body says yes

My mind perceives boundaries it tries to defend
My body, it just wants to feel good again
My mind sees problems that need to be solved
My body prefers when my mind’s not involved
Oh my voice is a-rising, it won’t let me rest
My mind it screams no but my body says yes

My body wants pleasure, my mind it seeks joy
My mind treasures, my body toys.
Now they’re split down the middle, neither there nor here
Though all of me wants this pain to disappear
Oh my voice is a-rising, it won’t let me rest
My mind it screams no but my body says yes

My voice is a-rising, it won’t let me rest
My mind it screams no but my body says yes



This week's Song of the Week is "Mind it Says No" by Steve Hefter and Friends of Friends. Heard this one on WTMD whilst returning from my homeboy's pool on Saturday afternoon. The band isn't signed, but they're generating some pretty good buzz down here in Harm City. The link in the song goes to their Myspace page (hooray lax internet policiing at work!). Therein, I heartily recommend “Ludicrous Bubblegum Flavors," though I’m entirely too lazy/busy to transcribe it here. Enjoy!

Oh Hi!

So, it's been nearly a year since I've tossed anything up here. This should ought to be a bit more frequent. So, Songs of the Week more or less weekly, other stuff as I get on to it, henceforth and anon.

(I know you're out there. I can hear you breathing)
