\
\
| \ Barreling down the highway, the needle eases past 70 mph. This desert is very unsettling. In my rearview, I can see the sun’s first light start to rise. I exhale the smoke in my lungs and flick the butt out into the void. I have no destination on my journey, but I know I must keep pushing forward. \ |

\ 2. Broken Social Scene \ self-titled \ MP3 | Ibi Dreams… \ |
\
\
| \ Men and women covered in face paint, shouting at the top of their lungs and taking orders from the man brandishing a weapon. Tightly, gripping your father’s hand and burying you face in your mother arm, your screams are drowned by the roar of wild animals, cannons, and the sound of fire. With the tears streaming down your cheeks, you open your eyes, to view the greatest show on Earth. \ |

\
\
| \ Laying in bed on a chilly and rainy Sunday morning, giggling with your lover, as you work the crossword in The Times. “Coffee?” she asks. “I would love some.” \ |

\ 4. Pelican \ Fire in Our Throats Will Bekon the Thaw \ Listen | Launch Player \ |
\
\
| \ An epic voyage across the Bering Sea, hiking across the frozen tundra of Alaska and scaling Mount McKinley, just to sit at it’s highest peak and observe the aurora borealis. Triumphant, overwhelming and gorgeous. \ |

\
\
| \ Holding hands with the woman you love. The first time you held your newborn son. Watching your parents kiss on their anniversary. And every other moment, when you know, life is beautiful. \ |

\ 6. The Wilderness \ s/t \ MP3 | Arkless \ |
\
\
| \ My bones ache when it’s cold. Stepping outside, my hand begins to twinge as I try to slide my key into the car’s door lock. Inside this old Buick, I can see my breath and after four tries the engine turns over. Pulling up to the yard, the horizon is littered with cranes and smoke. Through the breeze, I smell a slight scent of Honeysuckle and hopefully, that is enough to get through one more day at this blue collar hell, of a shipyard. \ |

\ 7. Rogue Wave \ Descended Like Vultures \ MP3 | Publish My Love \ |
\
\
| \ Whispers of traveling by convertible, California vineyards in early autumn and hillside romance. The story of two people who found a peace through love they thought they would never know. She isn’t around now but I know she feels the same. \ |

\ 8. Blood on the Wall \ Awesomer \ MP3 | Mary Susan \ |
\
\
| \ There hung an old flannel at a thrift store in Williamsburg. Three years it’s been there, suspended on this rack, with a hanger being it’s most reliable support since it’s creation. Discarded, unused, forgotten, it wore it’s reduced price tag, like a badge of honor. $3.49. $2.47. $1.99. $1.48. $.99. $.25. And one day it was gone. To go relive it’s salad days. \ |

\
\
| \ Take a ride on the saddle of the alligator, as he falls into the sand of the hourglass. The peyote wolf howls no longer. The shadows. The trees on fire. We lay on our backs and look through the moon roof of the oarless ship.The Minotaur will not sleep, as long as, the temple of my belly bleeds to the sky. Your riding shotgun on, The Moon Buggy. \ |

\
\
| \ Your know your youth is slipping away when all you friends are getting married, paying mortgages, having kids and talking about their 401. Good for them. I’ll have another Pabst, wipe the suds off on my sweater thats three years old and hope I make good tips tomorrow night. \ |
