y’know, i don’t look forward
to seeing you again soon
you’ll look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
and i won’t know what to do
and i won’t know what to say
except fuck you…
Let’s see how this thing works:
Alone In Kyoto – Air
Untouchable Face – Ani DiFranco
Goodnight Jack – St. Etienne
20th Century Boy – T-Rex
Things I Will Keep – Guided By Voices
When I See His Face – Blake Babies
What You Want – My Bloody Valentine
Conduit For Sale – Pavement
Wolf In The Breast – Cocteau Twins
Look At You Now – Golden Smog
and number eleven because this a really good list: Tattooed Love Boys – The Pretenders
From a pure indy standpoint, I give this one an eight on the coolness scale.
By the way, this is pretty cool.

Been out all night, I needed a bite
I thought I’d put a record on
I reached for the one with the ultra-modern label
And wondered where the light had gone
It had a futuristic cover, lifted straight from Buck Rogers
The record was so black it had to be a con
The autochanger switched as I filled my sandwich
And futuristic sounds warbled off and on
The black hit of space
Its the one without a face
Its the one that doesnt fit
You can only see the flip
The black hit of space
Sucking in the human race
How can it stay at the top
When its swallowed all the shops
As the song climbed the charts, the others disappeared
Til there was nothing but it left to buy
It got to number one, then into minus figures
Though nobody could understand why
I couldnt stand this bland sound any more so I walked towards my deck to turn it off. All I could see was the b-side of the disc which had assumed a doughnut shape with the label on the outside rim. I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long but weighed more than Saturn and time stood still. I knew I had to escape
But every time I tried to flee
The record was in front of me
The black hit of space
Get James Burke on the case
Its the hit thats never gone
Time stops when you put it –
