yeah yeah yeah call me a normie or whatever. i was listening to rocket when most of you were but twinkles in the eyes of your fathers. he's the voice of a generation. such a unique songwriter, his style is often emulated but never wholesale surpassed. he's incredible. nothing & i mean nothing will ever measure up to listening to gnaw for the first time.
LYRICS
--
You never met me
I don't think anyone has
But we can still be laid up together
the sugarhouse picked up the tab
I won't be forgotten
They'll have to bury me in the sand
When our children go digging for answers
I hope they can put me together again
--
Had a dream about a promised land
Walk around with a big gun in my hand
& when I look you in the eye
You're gonna tell me that you love me & hold me tight
'Cause you know that I have no fear
Ain't gonna walk into the river & disappear
--
I paint pictures of my heart
the colors blue & purple start to bleed into an endless dark
it's only you, it's only you

I think about him a lot. He's my favorite artist doing it right now. I'm so happy he's so successful now. My only sorrow is how expensive it is to see him live, and how qickly tickets sell out!

If I've ever talked with you about music, we've probably talked about LUCY. The ultra-prolific Western Mass cult hero has been the most important artist in my life for the past seven years.
In 2024, he released three albums. Beyond that, he's cooking on at least four active side projects. In my book, everything he releases is required-listening.
So it would be impossible to choose a true favorite. The depth of LUCY's catalogue is one of the special things about his work. But I narrowed it down by focusing on his last release: Cooper B. Handy's Album Vol. 9.
This one is dense -- a lotta gems. Here's a playlist of all the vol. 9 songs I really hope you'll listen to. Among those, "Folk Song" stands out. I'm obsessed with the switch-up from the verse to the chorus. Every day, I walk around with a million LUCY lines floating in my head. This song has a bunch of them:
Who you gonna call when the levee runs dry?
Said fuck the cops -- cuz they got the wrong girl and they got the wrong guy
You got a thing for the world I can see it in your eyes
Said fuck the cops -- cuz they got the wrong girl and they got the wrong guy
They put him in the ground and I see him in the sky
I got a thing for the world you can see it in my eyes.
Money -- people kill for that money ...
Who you gonna call when you wanna know why?
They put you on hold, and you watch another day go by
