Smoke on my lip
I wrote a song, yeah
Some people said
I was doin it wrong, yeah, but
Check out my hands: my chimin chords
On a Goldtone mandolin guitar
World's been meltin
In front o' my eyes, yeah
My baby girls...
They keep me high, yeah
Ain't on no trips though (no LSD)
True love is the pure drug for me
Jump in my whip
My engine whines, yeah
Zigzag my way...
Down Lincoln Drive, yeah
Puck on my lip: feel I can fly
For a while...
Smoke from my ears
My brian is burnin
My candle's burnt
I'm never learnin
Watch as my life breaks down
Just as the song breaks down

I like it. Sounds a little bit like Pavement to me.
BILL DOESN'T REALLY LIKE KURT VILE?!?!?! (Just said live)
Go check out the Vile+Courtney Barnette joint album for an amazing experience.

Charmingly shaggy and quirky.

As a Philly guy now living in Virginia, I'm glad to hear my hometown's been good to him.
Totally unfamiliar with the artist, but I like bill's oops Williams little segue there. I like the album cover too ...made me chuckle...

Hell yeah, good song to PARTY to on a Friday night!
Side effects may include Jackie Treehorn and Upslope Spruce Tip IPA...

He's pretty.
Maybe it's just me but I feel like this album's a big step forward for him, better songs, hooks and well his singing's still where it was ;-) OR maybe he sold out and went pop and that's what I like. Dunno
