Rodent Nina Ryser, wow. Everything she touches turns to gold. Right? That's what it looks like from here. Favorite track: Back in the Sulfur.

Saul Garbage Perfect functionally depressed rock ‘n’ roll (if you want to call it power pop go ahead). Too perfect for this world, apparently, but glad they gave us this tape and a few shows. Favorite song so far is “Smash” but my favorite moment is Nina Ryser’s delivery of “I’m feeling the big feelings again” on “Back in the Sulfur.” Really though you can’t go wrong and it’s hard not to listen to this all the way through every time. Favorite track: Smash.

Smash 02:56
You fake yourself to me, I’m not the only one who can see that the veil is disappearing. Into the rising fog, beyond the ocean and city walls, your tragedy pervading. Now you’re fallin’ down the hole, you left me all alone, so the darkness overtakes me. I have no other choice but to throw away the dice. They roll into my dreams. Oh! I’ll hold it to, I’ll see it through, smash it to, I smash it to pieces. Oh! I'll hold it to, hear it through, smash it to, I smash into pieces. I’m feeling more insane. When I’m not playing all your games, I wanna walk away roasted. And now you’re grinning out in the open, a face without its spirit. I know and I can see, I feel it coming on back to me. I’m running from the ending. Oh! I’ll hold it to, I’ll see it through, smash it to, I smash into pieces.

Intruding devoter, have it all now. There’s never enough to go around. You worship the magic, but never the real thing. Better not look into the real face of pain. Did you know that your blindness is a curtain of your shame? It’s bringing you down. It’s what they want from you. It’s what they want from you, maybe you want it too. I’m crossing the state line seeing the big sign having a real good time filling out the place here like never before. I’m back in the sulfur I’m back in the sulfur. I’m fading into the sky stinking up the place here like never before. I’m back in the sulfur I’m back in the sulfur. I’m fading into the sky stinking up the place here like never before. I’m feeling the big feelings again! Intruding devoter, don’t mess around. This stuff is serious, built up from the ground. Commercial idea is looking for your soul. Buy me a ticket to the information show. Rallying up all the Johns to go. Bringin ‘em here, giving ’em all the gold.

Clown Code 03:06
Everyone’s watching, they’re watching her now. She’s breakin’ out her clown code, stunning the crowd. I wanna get in on the fun, dancing ‘til I can’t feel anything wrong. Running through the alley, she’s back before dawn, brings me back a potion to get me on. Hey clown, where’d you get that thing? Better put it back before you hurt me. I’m losing touch more and more each day. Holding my tongue telling me what to say. Where’s the fire and where is the burn? It’s all around me just beggin’ to stir! Breakin’ down the stronghold! Breakin’ down the stronghold! Holdin’ down the new post! I think I like it here. Breakin’ out my red nose! I’m breakin’ out my red nose! I’m givin’ out my clown code! I can’t make it more clear. Breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking. Breakin‘ out my clown code!

It’s a cold, steel, smooth-operating plea. Hidin’ and ridin’ up behind the scenes. It’s a real scheme that I know is coming out of me. Desire’s hold. I’m pouring it back in the pond for a day, wanna wash it away. I’m pouring it back in the pond for a day, let it sink deep in the grey. See! The smoke is coming out so free, slow. Desire’s got its hold on me. And it’s showing! It’s creeping out from behind the trees, and it whispers: I’m pouring you back in the pond for a day. Wanna watch you wash away. I’m pouring you back in the pond for a day. Let you sink deep in the grey. I’m pouring you back in the pouring you back in the pond (desire’s hold) for a day. Let it sink in the grey. I’m pouring you back in the pouring you back in the pond (desire’s hold) for a day. Wanna watch you wash away. Pouring it back in the Pouring it back in the Pouring it back in the Pouring it back in the

What a Pity 02:15
What a pity in the city! It's a golden boy committee. Finding my way with the dogs down here. Lookin’ through holes in the web of tears into the dawn of day. What a pity in the city! Rolling river of acidity. Ringin’ the rats for a justice cheer. Asking for more and the more I fear. Looking for ways to swallow it down, in this town thick in sound. I’m only a drone in a sea of songs. Joking alone in an earless phone, awaiting a breath from the other side. That's the idea! It's a shitty team committee. AH! Beckoning all to the sweepstakes lie, where you'll never live and you'll never die. That's the idea!

Solo 01:49
Goin’ solo tonight towards the maddening light. The bridge to you has closed. I’m the wife of the night. Shine on down to you now and your naked mind. I’m going, going, like a flame in the sky. Feels so good just ridin’ around! I feel like myself flipped inside out. It seems too good being here with you now. When the day turns around I’m alone in my gown, and I’m gone. Gone! I’m gone! Hold my head to the high-up place where the light kisses me. The echo is my only company, It’s pouring out slow from my heart beat. When my solo boot hits the pavement It feels so good just riding around! Feels like myself flipped inside out. Seems too good being here with you now. When the day turns around I’m alone in my gown, and I’m gone. Gone! I’m gone!

Now you’re headed out to the wrong way. Running in the darkness, can’t seem to stay. You’re lookin’ out for the railway just so you can ride over the glow. Get your thrill again to feel bigger than yourself. You can tell you’re feeling lost out here. The night will trick you It’s been a long time coming. Folly or fate? Folly or fate? Try to run from the loneliness spells. They’ll trail behind you like billows of smoke. Folly or fate? Now you’re heading out towards the wrong way. Running in the darkness, can’t seem to stay. You’re lookin’ out for the railway just so you can ride over the glow. Get your thrill again to feel bigger than yourself. Feeling bigger than myself I’m feeling bigger than myself I’m feeling bigger than myself I'm feeling
