Take This To Your [Headphones]

You got to open your eyes.

Cassino will be coming out with their second release, Kingprince.

It's hard to put into words my feelings about this.
Both Northstar and Cassino have been ingrained so deeply into my life that I feel that if I were to see either band live, I'd probably be overcome with quiet emotion throughout most of the the set.
I would hop on a plane to see either of them in person...it means that much to me.

Already three songs are up on their myspace and they sound terrific.
I know right now, after struggling to all year to find an album worthy enough to list as AOTY, this will undoubtedly be my #1.
Nick's voice just evokes so much emotion and memory over these past 3 years.
These songs are already on repeat.

Three cheers for good, new music.

I need it more than I need myself.
I know you'll leave with a king's reprieve
But I guess that's just fine by me

Across the wards as we both dissolve

02/13/09 at 09:30 AM by Miss Heartcore

So tell me dear where is it you go from here?
As you curse and peel and pose in tears
Against the wall and across the hall
Across the wards as we both dissolve
I have this habit of punishing things
That move so fast they grow out wings
That sneaks through houses as we barter for sleep
(So just let me hide)

I wish I had you in my lungs
I'd blow you up and block the sun
To save everyone from this brilliant light we've won

And our bodies got so much clearer
With dirty blood and thirty last calls
So fill it up and spin forever down the wall
I throw it up just to watch it fall

Through the window you looked much sweeter

Tell me something bout a lonely night
Burnt by the steam from a better life
But your lottery touch feels lucky enough
Refugee hands from a gin war.
I know a place where we can rest tonight
But when the bombs start falling... you've got to open your eyes
And I just hope that I have mine
I just hope that I have.

I wish I had one hundred thousand pounds
Id crack the ground as your struggle for sound leaps
From town to town to town

Share your spoken wealth
Share your body's health
I need it more than I need myself
I know you'll leave with the kings reprieve
I guess that's just fine by me

Through the window you tasted much sweeter

Whether I feel sick body wise, sick in the head, or just sick in the heart, Nick Torres sings me to sleep.

I'm considering just flying out to his shows because I doubt he's going to come back over here any time soon.
