Vlayman: “Thirteen Point Five (Half a Chance)”

Thirteen Point Five (Half a Chance)
c. ’15 Vlayman

Down on the ground you can see close up
What the street has made you
Laid out and played out, hands behind yer back
And you been told what to do

Down there at the end of the block
They standin’ lookin’ at you
None of ’em gonna run and get your ma
They all know what to do

Down the road just a couple of towns
Is where they might gonna be incarceratin’ you
Ya tell yer story sittin’ there lookin’ down
They gonna do what they do

It’s a pure 13 point five
They tell ya as you dance
12 jurors, one mean ol’ judge
and a half a chance

Vlayman: “The Park (Down to)”

The Park (Down to)
c. ’15 Vlayman

Mamacita like her tocadiscos, you know
Pedro could not stop her
She got in trouble in the old playground
Pedro could not help her
Pedro called up alla his pals,
plus Matarman and li’l Louis
He knew his friends could make a lotta noise
But he would need the other two

Pedro and his pals found the place
Mamacita bleedin’ from the face
They used their fists and broke a few bones
Matarman and li’l Louis finished with the guns

Down to the park they went,
not lookin’ for no trouble
No matter how hot it was gonna get
They was gonna bring her home

One time la policia they came around
They asked their silly kindsa questions
Ain’t nobody ever made a sound about
What really went down
Mamacita still like her tocadiscos, you know
Ain’t nobody stop her
But all the ladies in that  the old playground
Pedro could not She don’t need no help, not

Down to the park they went,
not lookin’ for no trouble
No matter how hot it was gonna get
They was gonna bring her home
Down to the park they went,
They was hopin’ for no trouble
No matter how bad it was gonna get
They knew they’s bring her home

Vlayman: “Burnin’ Tubes”

Burnin’ Tubes
c. ’15 Vlayman

I only ever saw you after a show
What was yer name I never did know
I only ever saw you backstage and ya know

The smell of sweat, and burning tubes
Is all I can think of, ya know it’s true
The smell of sweat, and burning tubes
Brings me closer to you

I only ever knew you In the back of the club
I could only ever do you
With impersonal love
Could ya call it love?

Many years gone bye, but the memory’s clear
When the last time you cried out,
and I spilled my beer
I spilled my beer

Walkin’ Out the Door
c. ’15 Vlayman Products

This ain’t the way to do things
And I ain’t wantcha, walkin’ out the door

Vlayman & Grankspoine: “Li’l Monster” (title track)

Little Monster
c. ’15 Vlayman

You like to throw you a good one
Ya spit and snarl and act the crazy one
You won’t calm down and ya run around
And there ain’t no way anybody’s gonna have any fun
No nobody’s gonna have

Ooooh, you little monster
I won’t let ya scare me

Many peeps is frightened off
They ain’t doin’ what you clearly want
You won’t calm down and ya run around
And there ain’t no way anybody’s gonna have any fun

Ooooh, you little monster
I don’t let ya scare me

Doors slam and windows break
It’s pretty clear your tantrum ain’t fake
You won’t calm down and ya run around
And there ain’t no way anybody’s gonna have any fun

Ooooh, you little monster
I won’t let ya scare me

Ain’t yer fault is what you say,
who loves their parents anyway
You won’t calm down and ya run around
And there ain’t no way anybody’s gonna have any fun
q
Ooooh, you little monster
I won’t let ya scare me
Ooooh, you little monster
I don’t let ya scare me

Vlayman: “Done 4”

Done 4
c. ’15 Vlayman

I know I’m your creature but I never figured you wouldn’t let go
But they always told me this is the way it is as they’ve always known
You bring us here and you say we must do as you bid
The way it is, my dear, there’s no chance to debate or even beg

So soon done for, What was I begun for? 3x
And now I hear you scratchin’
Scratchin’ at my door

You the one who brought me to life, you created me as you wanted me to be
Sharper than the edge of a razor knife and able to follow you faithlessly
You asked and demanded and it made no dif’rence
I always done as you bid
I’m your creature, just half a man and there’s no chance to debate or even beg
(It does no good)

Inverse Room: “Counterfeit Umbrella”

A cool vid posted by a guy at TOMB in ’07.

 

Vlayman: “Christine D.”

Christine D.
(for a college sweetheart)
c. ’15 Vlayman

Inna room, with beers and bongs and music way too loud
It were a party, and we was dedicated to gettin’ plowed
But you my girl, you had somethin’ else on yer mind
And it was me, I guess you figured I could be kind

We was the highest, the kings of every thing we could conceive
And you was smiling, little girl you made me believe
We left that party, and you took me back into my room
And I recall with a smile, how you learned me not to leave too soon

Oh Christine, you with yer funny nose
My Christine, I always loved how you turned up yer toes

Just eighteen, and I think you was a little less
But for that summer. there ain’t no doubt you was my best
Girl, we had it all, or at least just what we thought we needed
And when we was through, you said you kinda loved me and I believed ya.

Oh Christine, you with yer funny nose
My Christine, I always loved how you turned up yer toes

You was a ride, and mebbe I was that for you, too
Deep inside, if you ever told yerself the wanton truth
We was good, and then we wanted what we wanted to do
But for a while, all I was buzzed and it was all sabout you

Some CD notes

Loving the latest Built to Spill, Untethered Moon – quirky hard/prog rock with awesome guitar parts and sounds, varied arrangements, and I believe our own LC worked onnit.

Jason Isbell’s latest and last records is very good.

Latest Low, also.

Keef’s is OK, rather laid back and Americana-retro.

Love the Lanegan demos and the SoundGarden rarities releases.

Veruca Salt rocks and The Amazing is SoCal cool (especially amazing in light of their country of origin) and the Church’s is just aiight.

I like the new Wilco, also, as well as the Tweedy release,

The Sticky Fingers re-master is excellent because of the 2nd disc with alternate versions – production is very crisp, tho’.

Also loving the latest James McMurtry, and especially the new Eleventh Dream Day.

Also, last year’s D’Angelo release is striking me as genius.
