Charlevoix, Voided

Voided out you haven't noticed
Charlevoix you lack a present-mindedness
Interstate, a sweet low stasis
Burned out from the hold to the chasis
So what's the prediction
Buckle to boredom's diction now
Midwest a restless wartime
A trail of tears in 4/4 time
The radiopiate's not an option
Keeps us divided and in line, online
So what's the projection
Lake-deep youthquake impression now

The Why & the How

You're going zero to Jimmy in a 1 2 3
And you're losing friends in an 8 9 10
And you ain't gonna have no one in 4 3 2 1
the spell's been broken now
Hope you suss why and how
State your case but no jury believes you
I wouldn't hold my breath for some judge to reprieve you
Ain't gonna stand trial I've got the world as my witness
And what you say behind my back ain't none of my business now
Hope you suss why and how
My rear-view is clear and my house un-haunted
Still you lie to yourself, make believe you're still wanted
And of the time I have left I'm gonna make the most
Ain't gonna sit around at home arguing with ghosts, not now
Hope you suss why and how

Triumph of the Shrill

Your synapses are hazy
Unlike to pitch a hope
Beyond the scope of your own pride
Your bluster doesn't faze me
I'll duck below the fray
Await the turning of the time
And of this means I've got to hold my own
I know I'll not go it alone
Your fallacies are lazy
Un-wired to self-reflect
And respect the losing side
And while you're talking crazy
My stronger hand is lent
To prevent your downward slide
And in these echo chambers of their design
The fault is neither yours nor mine

If Hitler Had Twitter

If Hitler had Twitter
He's piss out his struggle
In twice-daily installments
Of 140 tiny characters
To the delight of his frightened followers
If Hitler - if Hitler had Twitter
And if Albert Speer had an Instagram
He'd populate your iPhone
With a cadre of blonde-haired, blue-eyed drones
Black jackboots on French cobblestones
To the delight of the alt-reich logged in at home
If Hitler-if Hitler had Twitter
Creep forward 80 years
Now exchange continents
Of malcontents and step away
In 2017 the triumph of the shrill
Has won the ever-dying day
What a shame it turned out that way
If Hitler had Twitter

Gentrified Man

Gentrified man squirms
Nerves in his shoes
Weightless like a gas
Lit like a fuse
Sparse in new safety
Post-trauma pulse
Lie of new judgement
He accepts like a curse
And internalized
Journalized
Marginalized
Under it all
Under it all
Blunder it all
Gentrified man knows
He's weak like a ghost
Soft like the past
Neither pre- nor post-
Post-trauma safety
Post-trauma pulse
Lie of new judgement
He accepts like a curse
And the soft bigotry
Of his health and efficiency runs
Under it all
Under it all

J. Marinelli Morgantown, West Virginia
J. Marinelli is a one man band like no other. The sound and fury that emotes from his haunting Appalachian echoed yowl falls
somewhere between Guided By Voices, a lost mountain troubadour and a classic 70’s punk outfit from your dreams.
- Subversive

Lille Lort på ferie
by Lille Lort
Real talk: this is the only concept album that's ever mattered. If avant-garde/shit-fi bossanova is a thing, then Mr. T plays it.

Brain Time Now
by Blast and the Detergents
A hot mess of fearless noise-rock a-la MISSION OF BURMA and SONIC YOUTH. Florida's best import since ever.
