Napalm Mom 02:42
sparkling crackling we're leaving and combusting two sparks shiver shake and sigh on a wild ride like fire falling from the sky want to be with you all the damn time transformed in soot and smell and sound so how do I wrap that up in a nice and widely relatable metaphor? I love you so f-ing much! writing flowing beautiful multi-clausal sentences to express the depths of my affection i just want your arms wrapped around me and i don't want you to ever let me go
2.
Knapweed 03:46
crushed up plant matter sprayed with research chemicals different cannabinoid receptors it's kind of like smoking lies coming out the other side of the waters of life there has got to be a better way to get high new and different perspectives and perceptions more weed than man on some highway through the mountains

Cocoahaley 03:09
indie rock mom & dad are splitting up so i guess there's no more room for love ancient iconography that doesn't mean shit to me joint custody of our shared biographies counter intuitive biological processes multiple orgasms, discrete muscle spasms evolutionary my dear data wont someone please think of the children? nobody really knows what they're doing flashback 2007 effervescence, phosphorescence indie rock moms & dads are getting divorced every day of course of course every day off course of course I'm still queen of the castle so i guess that makes me the asshole and now that's never gonna change

elementary school parking lots in daylight some dirty drug deal goes down two cars depart in opposite directions cutting these powdered leaves with ammonia and benzene the boss called to say you're okay and we just called to make sure you're okay and to let you know we're still available greasy and sweaty, ominously threatening energy like the surprise of watching yourself be tortured to death on live TV pocketful of secrets hard cochise shit gonna push this body as far as it goes

shit district has a nice ring to it but who is really gonna benefit? let's all go hang out in shit district not the shit district and if we're lucky maybe we'll get beat up for wearing our lavender cardigans shit district we'll build it, but you'll pay for it aspiring shit district managers and real estate developers buncha fucking magicians

Flu Shot 01:50
this song is called flu shot it was originally gonna be called something else but then david suggested flu shot which i liked more so the following is a list of words i got off the wikipedia entry for spanish influenza storm, cytokine storm, cytokine cascade, hypercytokinemia

Classy Lassy 02:27
pretty i think you're pretty i think you're really pretty simplicity vulnerability trusting you not to hurt me hanging out in parking lots drinking i mean i'm not really that country, but i can pretend a real fucking lady knows how to hold her whiskey she said she was trouble and i've been troubled all my life beautiful bright blue diamonds sparkle in her eyes tender hearts in troubled times wincing through these tortured rhymes wincing through the really real world that we knew inspiration you're my inspiration you inspire me a real fucking lady who knows how to hold her whiskey she said she was trouble and i've been troubled all my life and besides, who can't use a little trouble once in awhile?

Slide 02:44
slide like a slide you can't stop you just fuck yourself up slick fucking slide to a train terminal somewhere in the netherlands these sheets of metal get hot in the sun but it's still better than the plastics in our blood wake up sleeping wake up sleepyhead i'm probably not yet done fucking up so i'm sorry in advance though i don't yet know for what tie a knot around each knuckle and each knuckle to a rope and each rope to a string to a locomotive speed in 360 by 360 power degrees instantaneously are these feelings lying to me? I mean, how can they not be?

about

Latcho Drom Edmonton, Alberta

Latcho Drom is a band from Edmonton that plays weird loud music about human fallibility, historical abuses of power, and the power of love. Their latest release, Whiteout, chronicles a breadth of Albertan experiences. Ride The Tempo called it "absurd but totally endearing."
