yeah i just recently got this (heh heh) and i must say that your life and
wild pack of family dogs are exceptionally good. hearing dark center of
the universe doesnt really turn my crank because of all the bootlegged
recordings, and night on the sun almost pales in comparison to some of the
live versions that ive heard (both in concert and on bootlegs).
but man.. your life.. fuckign great shit! the quote about not knowing the
ones you love and if you knew everything they thought i bet youd wish that
theyd just shut up is CLASSIC. this man knows what time it is boys and
girls. whereas no one really ever cares to admit that each individual in
this world is nothing but a hard shelled bottle of confusion and emotions,
truly separate in every way from each other except for the few thoughts
and words that trickle between us everyday, isaac nails it shut with a few
lines. praise allah
oh and wild pack of family dogs reminds me of trailer trash. not the song,
but the demographic. i just picture this white trashy toothless dirt
eating family (mud pond) living in a trailer in the middle of east
bumfuck, and the boy in the family wants to die so bad, because living the
white trash life sucks. thats just my take on it.
the second song on the EP doesnt impress me at all.
eh.. i guess thats it.
ruxx
