The latest, greatest Talons album. 12 awesome, really funny
and really sad songs about cuddling, doing crystal meth,
talking a walk, and other stuff. Covers are hand printed on
100% recycled paper. Comes with a cool booklet with song
diagrams/schematics, drawings, and words.
On his Myspace he gives this little manifesto:
This started out in Ravenna. I was living at my uncles out in
the country (on rt 303), working out in the yard and going to
Kent a few days a week. I was listening to brian straw a lot,
and will oldhams joya. Its all a joke at its root. A lot of it
is actually very em-bare-assing to play, to record, to write.
but that was the point too. I thought it would be funny to
write songs that were specific to my life, to the way things
are now, even though it would be awkward to play them for
people (especially the people they re about). I thought that
maybe some honesty would come out of that. Maybe we all feel a
little shitty, maybe we all like to laugh at ourselves, maybe
someoned feel a little better, maybe i would. I feel like too
many songwriters are preoccupied with writing something
timeless, or stylized -something that will last with all of
the great songs written by like bob dylan or neil young or
whomever, something dave matthews will cover someday. I dont
want that at all. i want to write songs that will make no
sense in five years. i want to write songs about my
neighborhoods, my bad jobs, not about the abstract world as a
whole, not about love as an abstract idea, not about bullshit.
i want to write 20 second songs that lack a chorus or bridge
or a ryhme. i want to write 5 second songs. i am a bad
speller. i am not a very good friend. but im trying to get
better.
