    Iron and Wine, "Passing Afternoon"

    I listen to alot of nasty, noizey, power electronics. Things
    like Stratvm Terror, Imminent Starvation, Noisex, Converter,
    Asche, Wumpscut, Winterkalte, FLA, etc. It is adding to
    much stress to my life, so I am getting back into tunes like
    Lamb, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Scala, Bowery Electric,
    and folk music. Somone told me about Iron & Wine awhile
    back, I picked up his new album and some Crooked Fingers
    this weekend.
     
    My wife's cousin is a Bluegrass musician out of Nasheville as
    well, I will post some of his music. Her family is from the
    mountains of North Carolina, which i miss very much in the
    Fall.
    Driving from Valle Crucis to Banner Elk North Carolina
    with my friends... Swervedriver and Ride on the stereo, 60 degrees,
    mid-October, early 90s... anticipating the upcoming snowboard
    season... such memories. I missed 130 days of High School in
    dem dare hills.
     
    Here are some lyrics from Iron and Wine...
     
    Passing Afternoon
    There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
    summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
    and she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
    wooden spoons, her children stir her bougainvillea blooms
     
    There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
    autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
    and she's choosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
    Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves
     
    There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
    springtime calls her children until she lets them go at last
    and she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
    somewhere near her misplaced jar of bounainvillea seeds
     
    There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all
    winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
    but my hands remember hers, rolling around the shaded ferns
    naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned
     
    There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
    sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me
    but she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
    a baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone

    Toronto Clubs and Power Electronic shows

    THE GUVERNMENT
    60,000 square foot multi-million dollar dance club with 6 bars and an opium den. They have a commercial train horn they hit the crowd with. I can't wait to go back. The Westin Harbour Castle hotel is a block away :)
