Seth Davison The summer of ‘97 I was about to leave where I had lived my entire life and go 14+ hours away. That summer I found California. I bought it because Eric and Wayne were a part of Starflyer’s Americana album. From the first, “Thank you! Lassie Foundation” introduction I was in. This was the soundtrack to that time of my life. Loud music with soft singing w lyrics that were both hopeful+ realistic. It is still one of my fav albums ever and I love that I can have it on vinyl. Thanks guys. Favorite track: I Can Be Her Man (Remastered).

Baric501 Grindy. Fuzzed out. Shoegazy. This album is just lovely. But you gotta listen to Walking Spinning Backing Free. If you don't like this, well, frankly, there is no hope for your musical taste. You are done for. That track is glorious. Momentous. Shocking in its loveliness. Crushing in its perfection. When I hear songs like that one, I am filled with awe. Where does that come from? Brilliant! Favorite track: Walking Spinning Backing Free (Remastered).

and you watched it, how it was then you learned it, all the way down you shine that crown and get a blushing buzz when the storm comes round you’re making sure that you’re the first one down off the sinking ship you king clever whip and the first hit, how it falls when you fight it, you win because you’re made of tin you save yourself from rust and when the storm comes round you’re making sure that you’re the first one down save your skin—you win save yourself and watch you win shine that crown and watch you believe it until we meet again…

about

"Know ye, that at the right of the Indies is an island named California, very close to that part of the terrestrial paradise... The island everywhere abounds with gold and precious stones, and upon it no other metal was found. In 1535, Cortes believed that he found 'California,' the rugged, pearl-rich island home of Calafia, the mythical Amazon queen."

Dedicated to those, who like Cortes, still search for Califia.
