The Sleepy Jackhammer Hour

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone

Like if David Berman was obsessed with Morrissey and fronted the Magnetic Fields in their Holidays day. If you want to listen to a song listen to Jeane, If You're Ever In Portland if you want to listen an album get Etiquette, if you want to hear the most Smiths references you'll ever hear in under two and half minutes listen to the song below.

Britain is well known for it's unpredictable weather but it does throw up some interesting vistas now and again. I took these last night approx 10 P.M:

All I Want To Know

If Conor Oberst made heartbreak cool, Stephin Merritt invented it. Using straightforward pop aesthetics and painfully relevant lyrics I think he managed to create one of the best songs I've heard in awhile and to think this is pretty much a b-side. Always emotional but always honest, it's the Magnetic Fields.

Quote:

All I want to know is do you still want me?
And if not so why do you still haunt me,
Like a song, like a ghost, all night long?
That's almost all I want to know.

All I want to know is can I still need you?
Are we still go or did I misread you?
I won't settle for less and that's not yet,
I'll confess all I want to know.

I want to know now on your mother's grave
Is there nothing nohow left to save?
Be brave, tell me tonight or not at all
We don't have to fight,
I can make last call and play a little pinball.

All I want to know is you don't do you?
Call me slow but I can't see through you,
Count to ten tell me then
Will you love me again is all I want to know.

What's this...so ominous and I see what you did with the names there, clever. But really, is this some sort of variety show or what?

I thought you hated casiotone for the painfully alone...
