My good friends Grubby Little Hands released THE GRASS GREW AROUND OUR FEET today.
The album is liquid pop phantasmagoria, straddling the line between melody and landscape, process and intuition. It occupies that liminal moment, when you’ve just woken up and haven’t quite shaken the dream from your eyes, when anything is vaguely possible, when you might “unring a bell”… but then you blink, catch the sun coming through your window, and remember. And you think to yourself: it’s just as well.
Listen and download here. Order on limited edition sea foam vinyl here (I got to help them out with the album cover and show poster). Catch them live this Saturday.
This happened about a year ago (maybe a little more), but I just got around to snapping a picture the other day.
The city was building a trolly stop near this abandoned shack. At some point they removed most of the plywood which had been covering up the shack (who knows why) to reveal this amazing sign:
BEATS ME / I’m not talking to you / PORK / Our own seasoning tender & juicy! / NOBODY / is watching the children
I don’t know who is responsible for the sign, or what the circumstances were when this place was in business.
On the other side of the building, the copy continues:
TOO FAST & NO VALUES / (unintelligible) / The color of thoughts / STOP / THE VOWELS / CHEESE PEACE
Go see it at the corner of Frankford & Delaware Ave while it’s still there!
