I’m often amazed that any two people ever agree on anything. At least that is once absolved of the notion that we all should play the dutiful role that has been socially permeated throughout our conditioning societal structure. Not that I personally prescribe to anarchy, cynicism, or even laissez faire acceptance of grotesque self-interest, I don’t. Only that once the bottom falls out of those injected rules of inhibition there isn’t much left that holds us together aside from personal responsibility for our thoughts, feelings and actions, and even with those I’m making broad assumptions that any two people can come to the same conclusions without first accepting some general guidelines. Dr. Moreau anyone? There are infinite variables; too many to think that common ground is in fact common. Understanding only happens with parties that are willing and able to take it on, for better or worse, if that doesn’t happen communications will be, not only in separate languages, but separate universes… although seemingly the same dimension, the outcome can be maddening.

PB&J need no introduction, unless you’ve got an aversion to delicious sandwiches that are conducive to hiking and camping and days out on a sailboat… or YACHT.

Soulful baddassery in female vocals, The Mynabirds crested acoustics (courtesy of producer & collaborator Richard Swift (feat here before)) and rousing driven drums have a decadent  form that fits in nicely with my predilection for dusty road gospel sounds.
