my blog looks like asscakes

i'm trying to find a half decent lay out for my blog, but they all look like ass cakes. and the ones that don't, have stupid advertisements at the top for where i took them from and i don't know how to go into the code and take it out. fuck.

anyway.

i'm not normally a "metal" guy, but there's this jesus band, norma jean that has been putting out a few good records. today's song is from their record "bless the martyr, kiss the child".



it's call "memphis will be laid to waste"

listen to it here

my favourite parts are when the lyrics "you're doing the waltz with your murderer" come along, and the guest appearance by the singer from mewithoutYou right near the end. he's a great lyricist.

He laid emeralds in her eyes,
But Id already tried a bracelt made of gold
And a scarlet thread around her wrist.
Everything was wrong so we sang sentimental songs.
Oh how seldom we belong but how elegant our kiss.
We painted crooked lines
But danced in perfect time to a love so much refined,
We know not what it is until like a dullen wine we pour into a grief know before
But never quite like this.
All I know now is regret,
It follows like a silhouette along the cobbelstone behind us,
But has nothing to say except to innocently ask,
Its voice delicate as glass,
Do you see me when we pass?
But I continue on my way.

and this song always reminds me of moncton's own "laid to waste" who broke up earlier this year.
