^ This is turning into a steep learning curve for me - all new material despite how highly OH is placing this album. I like the cover, album title and the
Poledo song. It's usually a good sign imo when an artist discards conventional sound engineering wisdom and goes for some rough edges to the music. Nice.

Despite the line, I'm not necessarily drawing a line under Lou Barlow, but to maintain momentum in this thread, here is:-
Song #2: Fugazi - Waiting Room (1988)
I love the bass guitar lead in and how you can hear that same riff throughout. The anguish/anger from the vocalist caught my attention immediately, as did the opening lines:-
Quote:
I am a patient boy: I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is like water down a drain
Everybody's moving, Everybody's moving,
Everybody's moving, moving, moving, moving
Please don't leave me to remain In the waiting room ...

"My time is like water down a drain" Brilliant! What a pity though, that the song comes to such an early and abrupt end.
