Farewell, Kerry Wood.
Willis Earl Beal - Don’t Leave Me Hanging
Ok fine. So you’re probably cooler than me, because you’ve heard of him before. Apparently, his name has been bandied about underground for ages. Well he got signed and he’s finally making his first overground appearances. This is from Germany. That voice is absolutely…wow. Stop reading. Push play. Thanks.
He’s got a gospel voice, blues styling and plays to a backing tape. And it absolutely works.
It’s not that this is the best song, or the best routine, but the earnestness of the whole film gets at me, and this scene especially, as it’s the only real stereotypical musical number. Everyone looks like they’re having a good time doing it, half-laughing as they rhythmically work around the restaurant.
I can’t get this song out of my head.

This is the best episode we’ve done. More to come.
Very funny. Very timely. Watch.
Wax On Radio - Today I Became A Realist
the sad face of dreamers, waking to the life that passed them by. they follow forever the flame that holds their eyes. they march in place, straight to their graves. they hold their hands, whispers in the air. what fills our eyes is what makes our lives, as they kick the dust just to remember the light
the poorly drawn believers, fading in the towing of the tide. they sink here forever, stark as stone inside. they insure their names, in spots on graves, in the idle hands of idle days. as we fill our lives, we all realize how we spend our days is what becomes our lives
sail on quick. fly past the world. find me a love
