It feels like it's been a while since we had one of these. As of half an hour ago, this has been killing me: The lyrics are a bizarre mix of christianity and ruthless murder in the wild west.

    What is it? What's it sound like?


    Here's another Wilderness Road track I just listened to:

    Bounty Man[/b]

    livin every day by the sweat of my hands
    bounty man, bounty man
    living off the lean and the fat of the land
    oh, the bounty man

    a man can be driven just to keep on tryin
    even maybe get into a little bit of lyin
    when you make your livin off another man's dyin
    bounty man, bounty man

    don't turn your back on the bounty man
    he'll shoot you in your tracks any time that he can
    don't turn away from a bounty hungry kid
    or you'll never be able to say that you did

    some folks like to work their lives all away
    bounty man, bounty man
    makin just enough to eat a little every day
    oh, the bounty man

    me, i like to lounge in the lou'siana sun
    handin out silver dollars tips to everyone
    makin sure the undertaker's havin his fun
    bounty man, bounty man

    don't turn your back on the bounty man
    he'll shoot you in your tracks any time that he can
    don't turn away from a bounty hungry kid
    or you'll never be able to say that you did

    i make my livin my livin by another man's dyin
    i'm a bounty man
    i may be forgivin for a little bit of lyin
    i'm a bounty man


    Seriously, the music's a perfect mix of hard rock and country. (Oops, am I revealing too much about twoply?)

    Hawaiian Folk/Psych. A beautiful and somewhat haunting album.

    I'd like to hear it. Anyone got it on soulseek? (Castile-O, I'm looking your way.)

    I was actualy just about to send this to the DCast myself. Check thine PMs shortly, twoply.

    One of the best blues albums by old white men I've ever heard.


  • My girlfriend and eBay. Too many bargains to deal with.

    Temple's Cure[/b], from the 45 EP that came with the vinyl version of "Picture has Faded."

    This is not an appropriate 'What's Killing You' type thread 'cause:

    A. Only Artifactor has touched on what's killing him, all others are stuck on some type shit.

    and...

    B. In belongs over there.

    I am just saying.

    my fucking ride is what's killing me. I always own some 3rd-generation can't-pass-inspection cars that I pay $1,000 for. Put it this way, I'm never the first, but always the last owner of my cars. Anyway, my 1990 Toyota pickup is so messed up now between no muffler and shot brakes, I'm afraid to drive anywhere.
    I don't mind riding my bike to the movies or shopping for records - but try carrying a full hockey equipment bag and two sticks on a 22-mile ride, see, it just ain't gonna happen. My ride is fucking killing[/b] me. And if I keep driving it, it probably really will kill me.

    A. I disagree. Wilderness Road is not about face melting. It's about taking me back. Way back. (And then moving me forward.)





    B. Maybe I'm dense, but I have no idea what that means.

    Right. I'm breaking with tradition then.

    hi

    So many people have told me to say hi to you that I couldn't possibly list them all.


    Dan (the one that lives in your old building) wanted me to remind you he still has all that stuff you guys left in the closet.

    Oh, okay.

    Let me further explain. From the standpoint of tradition, you're exactly right. This isn't the way "it" is done. But if "it" becomes more important than it, you may be missing the point. I don't think E*ic had any intention of introducing a strict paradigm for everyone to follow. My interpretation of the original question was along the lines of, "What is affecting you so much right now that you need to relieve the pressure by letting a bit of it loose?"

  • asprinasprin 1,765 Posts
    Damn, ummm, okay. I'll have to call him up. Thanks I*n. Hope PDX is treating you well. We'll have to catch up via fon over the weekend or something. Gotta lay down in the bed I've made.

    Whats killing me?
    diagnosed manic depression and no medical insurance to pick up medication
    My brakes gave out today leaving me with a possible $700 bill
    My job ends next week leaving me with no viable paycheck while I finish out the semester
    My 60 year old handicapped mother just got laid off leaving me to be the financial support for 3 people
    the girl I love is in a relationship with some biker dude
    and my back hurts

  • Hotsauce84Hotsauce84 8,450 Posts
    Aaaah, okay. Understood.

    In that case...

    "What is affecting you so much right now that you need to relieve the pressure by letting a bit of it loose?"

    Guess.

    I posted it for BeardedD, who apparently has some deep seeded issues with sexual repression and things involving sexual connotation (or denotation, for that matter).

    you're very considerate.

    im surprised this doesnt get props more on soulstrut

    el rey pascador is my jammy

    beautiful, beautiful album

    i put psyche II on mixtapes all the time


  • I tried to get rights for track three of These Trails and the manager wanted $12,000 for a movie that would probably cost that much... if I shot it on film instead of video. Dude saw absolutely no distinction between a little short movie and a Hollywood production, his mind was totally gone. That record is pretty irritating for the most part, some serious hippies with issues.

    Grafwritah your ugly asthetic is tired. But I'm less disgusted by your blowjob avatars than by the pictures of bloody bodies you put up the other day.
