Disappointment Incorporated - Don't Think The Sun (live)

 

everyone should look into this band. very talented and very good music. Beat Poetry lyrics and a slap bass player.

 

Biography by John Bush

 

Disappointment Incorporated formed in 1997 around newcomer vocalist Brian Burns and a backing band of L.A. scene veterans -- from Engines of Aggression, Star 69 and the Big F. After being signed to Time Bomb, the group's blend of riff-rock and angular guitar display was first displayed on the 1998 live EP Spoken Through the Profits.

I had a beat poet do a guest lecture for one of my poetry classes. He was terrible.

 

Helmet - Almost Out of Sight.

 

Helmet is one of those bands that was cutting edge and good when they were around, but listening to them now, they sound like every other "new" band because of how derivative their sound has become.

i refuse to sully helmet by listening to their new stuff, cuz i had a feeling it would be as you describe. betty was awesome. aftertaste was almost as awesome. come to think of it...i don't have either of those anymore, and haven't heard them in years.

Pilate - Fairytale Of New York

 

awesome song

 

It was Christmas Eve babe

In the drunk tank

An old man said to me, won't see another one

And then he sang a song

The Rare Old Mountain Dew

I turned my face away

And dreamed about you

 

Got on a lucky one

Came in eighteen to one

I've got a feeling

This year's for me and you

So happy Christmas

I love you baby

I can see a better time

When all our dreams come true

 

They've got cars big as bars

They've got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you

It's no place for the old

When you first took my hand

On a cold Christmas Eve

You promised me

Broadway was waiting for me

 

You were handsome

You were pretty

Queen of New York City

When the band finished playing

They howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging,

All the drunks they were singing

We kissed on a corner

Then danced through the night

 

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas day

 

You're a bum

You're a punk

You're an old slut on junk

Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

You scumbag, you maggot

You cheap lousy faggot

Happy Christmas your arse

I pray God it's our last

 

I could have been someone

Well so could anyone

You took my dreams from me

When I first found you

I kept them with me babe

I put them with my own

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you

Boy Sets Fire - Foundations to Burn

 

We call upon God for which killing's permitted,

And then brag out loud that our side made the grade

We better pray, with this as our position

Our wrongs dont come back and burn us down to the ground

And what gives us the right to judge without reprisal

To strike retaliation and wash our hands of blood

And who gave us the crown to claim that we're divine

Without needing repentance and drive them into hell

 

such anger....such rage

Disappointment Incorporated - Bleeding Boy

 

My Song Of The Moment

 

Bleeding boy images what happened to his father

Col. 1960 out killing yellow strangers

Wrong place, wrong time found himself a land mine

Proud families when they bury, break down quietly

Bleeding boy, bleeding boy, bleeding boy,

Your mother was a lover

Bleeding boy, bleeding boy, bleeding boy

You father was a killer

I've lived inside your cages

I've sold all your front pages

I've clutched my piece of heaven

My AK 47

Dare to look in my eyes

And ask my what I'm after

I want women, money all the rest

I'll kill for my next cigarette

Bleeding boy, bleeding boy, bleeding boy,

Your mother was a lover

Bleeding boy, bleeding boy, bleeding boy

You father was a killer

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

Bleeding boy wonders what's happening to his mother

And, bleeding boy images what happened to father

Bleeding boy, bleeding boy, bleeding boy,

Your mother was a lover

Bleeding boy, bleeding boy, bleeding boy

You father was a killer

Lying, Denying, Trying, Bleeding, Greiving,

Perceiving, Choking, Groping
