      "You're a nice guy, and I hate you for that"
      
      "Beware the gypsy children in electric dresses, they're insane, I hear they live in crematoriums and smoke your remains..."

    • he's awesome...for me, spiral stairs MAKES that band. he's such an awesome guitarist. apparently malko is a bit of a dick.
      
      my friend fucking racist matthew the fucking racist once described the kannberg sound as:
      
      "it's like he learnt how to play guitar whilst listening the the greatest top twenty station in the world - but on a shitty portable mono stereo with the batteries running out."
      
      my favourite lyric is (predictably i suppose) "what about the voice of geddy lee, how did he get so high, i wonder if he talks like an ordinary guy - i know him - and he does!"
      
      top tune is gold sounds...everyone needs to watch the video collection (slow century). it's obscenely good.

      David Berman! Yeah man...totally with you there...he's a fucking SUPERB lyricist.
      
      "I asked a painter, why the roads are coloured black
      He said "Steve it's because people believe that no highway can bring them back"
      
      On a country fix...Renee Sparks of Handsome Family is another lyrical titan.
      
      There's no part of me big enough to have the all the handsome family lyric tattoos i've planned. apart from my huge willy.
