THE OLDIES STATION we'll always have the oldies station lest we forget from d.c. 5 to the temptations piled like pile carpet against the rough stainless stuff we'll always have a daydream nation lest we nod off and dinosaur's reverberations sitting like sitting targets against the sky blue sky i really wasn't born to fight but if you say let's rock and roll all night my second wind arrives we'll always have the oldies station lest we forget when our guitars are decorations painted like painted ladies against the brick miles thick against the wall calling us all

HERE COMES THE SUN our paper route would start at down we'd cause the cracks in winter lawns we'd form of something formed of ice the wonder twins like satellites back to our nickel gas fueled happy home and chocolate served in styrofoam and canned applause and cereal and golden static radio but now there's nothing left of the dial i only hear you sing from files we shine our stars with aerosol and drown in never losing calls october comes and we fall back the storm windows still at half-mast here comes the sun in all its might but you can't tell me it's alright

FROM CLEVELAND TO ETERNITY when you're from these parts you never start you never hit a hit parade when you're from this town you set sights down to your feet and then fire away but you don't think that's true you don't think that's true but what are you gonna do about it? when you're from this place you save your face by keeping it hidden away in the midwest you must confess you're never better than okay but you don't think that's true you don't think that's true but what are you gonna do about it?

Terrible Things (free) 02:32
TERRIBLE THINGS it's someone's birthday someone's house not keeping quiet quiet and it's better no better than what you could have hoped for better no better than what you thought was in store and all you seem to overhear is how every year's an election year and it gets no better than what you could have hoped for better get better man and you get tangled up buried in a mash-up as you recall terrible things you used to say and also sing so you count your pints to pass the time and you keep it quiet inside and it takes so many turns just to get loose always a "gotta" never with a "get to" and you paddle straight past your fellow hearts of glass as you recall terrible things you used to say and also sing is it too late to paddle back? burning from track to track could you recall amazing things that you could say?

THE SHAPE OF THE MACHINERY at the end of the fever to win something else surely begins you run out of reasons to fight something else surely alights but seems just like every year's an election year as your temperatures settle and sigh do you try? from this far away all you see is the shape of the machinery how all those pistons should spin will clear up the closer you're in but you take such a wandering path you don't do your math so you hum and you muddle along all those songs that you will never write is it you or the city that works? you will not be sure but your choice is to alphabetize or to try

YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN lincoln married jessie in the winter of ’03 he was a skinny kid, they called it charity and he might’ve gone out on her and she might’ve done the same but then soon enough you know a child came so their house got a little louder and their days got a little long and they got annoyed by stupid things like songs but he sensed that she was brighter and she knew that he was strong and in the end there wasn’t really nothing wrong hey sing about it, you are not your own hey sing about it, you are not your own kenny was 15 with greasy hair and a greasy smile in the lamest town within 100 miles with a target and a subway not a single record store yeah, his parents couldn’t ask for nothing more so one new year’s eve with a couple friends just sitting around in the basement with the tv counting down they didn’t have a single firecracker for to blow so at midnight they just lay down in the road with the stars singing... hey sing about it, you are not your own hey sing about it, you are not your own carol took a pair of pills for every kid she’d raised now they cycle through on holidays with their kids and all their kisses and their tools to fix tvs always staying barely long enough to leave summer’s air conditioning was yellowing her lawn when carol heard the doorbell ringing on it was the kid who brought her paper said they’re discontinuing “so this final bill is all that i can bring” so on sunday... the best day... the lord’s day... heavy late edition curled tightly in her fist carol crosses where the signal is but the paper’s slick with adverts so it slips out of her hands to the pavement like a fish stuck in the sand and there go the cars’ impatient idling... and there go the corner kids mumbling... and there goes the signal changing back again... hey sing about it, you are not your own hey, sing about it, you are not your own

about

Chicago-area home-recording addict Dan Phillips (a.k.a. Zapruder Point) inches into the sunlight with a full-band E.P. that recalls the stripped-down guitar pop of Dumptruck, the Plimsouls and the Feelies. Featuring John Aselin on bass and Larry Brown on drums, Heads Together also boasts guest appearances by Liam Davis (ex-Frisbie) and Elizabeth Lindau (Canasta).
