You're a rock star, Dude! How come I didn't know that? Seriously, this is a great energetic album. I'm going to pass it on to my punky music pals. That line on "Half Orphans," -- <i>Some things you can't get away from / No matter how far you go</i>" took me back to a completely different music genre, but a kindred spirit perhaps, in Jackson Browne. He's got a song, "Your Bright Baby Blues" on <i>The Pretender</i> with the line that reminded me of yours: "<i>No matter how fast I run / I can never seem to get away from me</i>".<br /><br />Enjoying your album very much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13736768855641666746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500794647428701667.post-50340861773730116832013-02-16T16:07:07.012+00:002013-02-16T16:07:07.012+00:00I'd have to take full responsibility for the l...I'd have to take full responsibility for the lyrics.

I really like DBB. Sounds like early Joy Division. Did you have a hand in the lyrics? Tom Waits/Burroughs could have ripped off Barry's Tune for That's the Way off the Black Rider!<br />BrendanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500794647428701667.post-25172374350083816282013-02-15T08:44:13.843+00:002013-02-15T08:44:13.843+00:00Indeed.
