This lovely lady has done a pretty amazing thing in creating Tramp.
If you like yourself even just a little bit, you’ll pick up a copy posthaste.
As I’m putting up the first CP mix of the year, I’m also anticipating the (potential) first snowfall of the year and hoping that the predictions of the various weather-people don’t let me down like they so often do. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this shit as much as I do.

Song To Get You Through The Goddamn Day #090:
Tanlines: “Brothers”
There’s really not much more that I can say about my unabashed adoration of Tanlines. I’ve written about them here on CP at least half a dozen times in the past year and a half and at this point, my love for them is pretty damn obvious. So it probably isn’t much of a surprise that much glee and apartment dancing occurred this evening when the band sent out the first inkling of information surrounding their upcoming debut full-length album along with the first single from Mixed Emotions. “Brothers” takes everything that’s been exciting and emotional about Tanlines’ previous music and intensifies it. These two are totally locked in.

Stick around for the snap-dancing at the end.

Song To Get You Through The Goddamn Day #089:
Gang Colours: “Fancy Restaurant”
“I know you don’t care that much about money, but I’m gonna make some and take you out.”
SO unbelievably tight.

“It is the imagination that gives us poetry. When you sit down to write a poem, you really don’t know where you’re going. If you know where you’re going, the poem stinks, you probably already wrote it, and you’re imitating yourself.”
