Goddammit, I think I'm turning into a lyrics person. I've been mega-obsessed with Leonard Cohen recently and then all of the sudden I discover this pretty sweet band called Coltrane Motion. I dug their sound and was listening to the album for the second time when I suddenly noticed they had some nice lines.
"Let's play 60s pop star/You be Ronnie/I'll be Phil"
"It's not a swagger/It's a limp."
"All my love songs turn into hymns."

Their album Songs About Music opens up with a quadruple salvo of awesome pop songs that touch just enough on shoegaze, new wave, 60s soul and indie rock to keep everything fresh. Then it kinda craps out, but whatever. At least the songs have clever meta-musical titles ("Dozier-Holland-Dozier", "I Guess The Kids Are OK", "Ex-Girlfriend In A Coma"). That always gets me off.

Here's a song. It's really good.
Coltrane Motion - How to Be

Also, hello journal, we haven't spoke in a while.
