Small Time American Bats



After a request for more demo material as posted last week, here's an old EP of Zach Condon's. It doesn't sound much like anything from Gulag Orkestar, which is the most obvious thing about it, but it is nice music nicely done. My favourite is 'The Electric Show', which is slow and treads gently, but evokes the slightly nervous air of someone alone in their room getting ready to leave. If you know what I mean.

The Fish Inside Me
Covered the West in Phone Lines
The Electric Show


Also, and unrelatedly, I want a t-shirt. Preferably the one that says 'I Wish Arcade Fire Were Playing', because after they cancelled their tour three days before Berlin last time around, this time they're playing here in November - not in August like they're playing in Cologne. Frustrating stuff.

From what I can tell these are the lyrics from "The Fish Inside Me". There is one part where I can't tell what the lyric is. If anybody knows please post.

I live under the lake
I just woke up that way
the fish inside of me
always feels so lonely

The ice melted and flooded
the city up to it's 50th floor
the elevator wasn't working
so we had to take the stairs

I live under the lake
I just woke up that way
the fish inside of me
always feels so lonely

The [inaudible] started we stopped working
the waves got quite
and I forgot

My purpose on the stairs above me
I turned around
and headed straight back home
