Battles have writing. Lot's of little melodies are meeting for the first time and are trying to get to know each other. Got some news coming up.

Thanks,
TB

Earth,

You good?

There's a band that I've been listening to called Extra Life from NY who are unreal. Quirky Gothic Chamber Core?

Check out their page: myspace.com/extralifetheband and listen to "I don't see it that way". Totally scored out. Awkward rhythm. Amazing.

They're playing Brooklyn on the 12th. See ya there.

Love,
Tyondai

try and say this 10 times fast:

DDIAMONDD

THE DIAMOND THAT WAS STOLEN HELD THE CODE THAT MELTED
WATER INTO LETTERS SPELLING WHERE IT HAD BEEN TAKEN TO
IN FACT I HAD A VISION OF THE NUMBERS CORRESPONDING WITH
THE LETTERS T-H-E-D-I-A-M-O-N-D

THEY'RE SUSPENDED LIKE A PRISM SPLITTING FLOODLIGHT TO
POLES OF PRIMARY COLORS CLAWING THE VEIL OF THE VACUUM
THERE'S A PICTURE OF THIS GIVEN TO AUTHORITIES, THE
SENTENCE "I'M AN ARCHITECT AND HERE'S MY PRISON" WRITTEN
ON IT

WITH SCHEMATICS SO METICULOUS THE MEASUREMENTS OF
SUPERIMPOSITIONS OF A ROOM WITHIN THE WINDOW MAKE A
DREAM THAT ENDS UP BEING SUCH AN ENTITY IN YOUR
REFLECTION, YOU ARE THE DREAM TO IT, YOU ARE IN THE PRISM

THE MIRRORS IN THE CORNER THROWING IMAGES AGAINST THE
OTHER MIRRORS MADE COUNTING CORNERS IMPOSSIBLE THE
BREAKING NEWS HAD COUNTED ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE,
SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN, ELEVEN CORNERS OF THE
MIRRORED CORNERS

WHY HAVE YOU DONE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING IS SO
SINISTER WHEN STARRING AT THE DIAMOND SOMETHING YOU
HAVE DONE SO SINISTER WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS AM I IN THE
MIRROR AM I WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN STARRING AT AM I A
DIAMOND?

JUST LIKE A REFLECTION OF A FRIEND OF MINE, I AM A
REFLECTION OF AN ENEMY, AM I A REFLECTION OF AN ENEMY,
JUST LIKE A REFECTION OF A FRIEND OF MINE?

RAINBOW

ONCE
ONE TIME
I WAS AMAZED
NATURAL DELAY
AND YOUR WIDE VOICE
GOT OUT OF PHASE
I COULDN'T EXPLAIN

WHY
WOULD SOME
ECHO OUT RACE
A STATEMENT AS VAGUE AS
"ONCE
ONE TIME
I WAS AMAZED"
I WAS AMAZED


BAD TRAILS

THE NIGHT
THE NIGHT IS STILL
THE NIGHT IS STILL CALM
STILL COMBATIVE
BUT NEVER ATTACKS

Battles performed on the UK tv show "Later with Jools Holland", along with Crowded House, Roisin Murphy, Richard Thompson, Angie Stone, Kurt Elling, Michael Stipe and Anton Corbijn. It's on Nov. 9th on BBC 2 I believe.

PEOPLE WONT BE PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR THIS SOUND
THAT'S BEEN GLOWING IN THE DARK AT THE EDGE OF TOWN
PEOPLE WONT BE PEOPLE, NO
THE PEOPLE WONT BE PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR THIS SOUND
WONT YOU SHOW ME WHAT BEGINS AT THE EDGE OF TOWN

THE SINGER IS A CROOK
THE SINGER IS A CROOK
THE SINGER IS A CROOK
THE SINGER IS A CROOK
THE KITCHEN IS THE COOK
THE SCISSORS ARE THE BARBERS
THE SINGER IS A CROOK
THE CHORUS, FULL OF ACTORS
