CARPET KIT
a song for Dawn
From the driveway honks the horn
Oh my gosh it must be morning
Grab your lunch and grab your books
But KFWB’s got no hooks
Our redemption comes next week
Pack of blank tape smells so sweet
Math homework is adding running times
Exactly filling up both sides
Cuz my mom drives this week
The sounds are gonna be sweet
Jump into my carpet kit
We’re playing all the trendy hits
Or maybe not, but the tape deck’s blasting
Cruising over Friendly Hills
Maybe 605 or Workman Mill
Doesn’t matter cos we got the tunes
Learning in a sunless nook
Everyday we read the Book
Seasons changed like Ore to Paul
Backward masking we played them all
Tater Tots, Milkbones, we had it made
Under the j acaranda shade
If I smile and remember when
The Trinity river flows again
And I’m Bumping down Garo street
A quick rewind before we meet
Jump into my carpet kit (Laura Ingalls, Jimmy Slash)
We’re playing all the trendy hits (Duran Duran and Adam Ant)
Or maybe not, but the tape deck’s blasting
Cruising over Friendly Hills (Pac-man, Raiders, Atari)
Maybe 605 or Workman Mill (mornings reeking of kimchee)
Doesn’t matter cos we got the tunes, so
Jump into my carpet kit (Dawn and Shari, Darcy, Todd)
We’re playing all the trendy hits (Xavier was pretty odd)
Or maybe not, but the tape deck’s blasting
Cruising over Friendly Hills (Trisha, Darren and Michelle)
Maybe 605 or Workman Mill (Eugene Hong, Brian Litrell)
Doesn’t matter as longs as we’ve got the tunes.
Doesn’t matter as longs as we’ve got the tunes.

If It Feels Good Do It - A Sloan Tribute
by Futureman Records
supported by 11 fans who also own “$200 E.P.”
For me and my crusty, ringing ears, the tribute album lost it's charm long ago. But once in a while, there's still one that hits it outta the park. When the subject is as great as SLOAN, it's a can't lose proposition. I've never heard the majority of the acts here (tho I'm a big fan of Fireking), but damned if I hear a duff track on this set. If you're already a fan of the Halifax Heroes don't think twice, nab this 31 track monster! Another winner from Futureman.

Norwegian power pop outfit founded by members of black n' roll heavyweights Kvelertak strike a perfect balance between catchy and caustic.

Twelve nervy power pop tracks punctuated by hairpin chord changes that arrive like sucker punches.

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts.

The New Sell Out
by Futureman Records
supported by 9 fans who also own “$200 E.P.”
Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century.
