What is old is new again. Happy holidays and whatnot. CCL

So long since an update, and too many developments to mention. I will try to fill the void with a gargantuan tune, in the hopes that it doesn't come off as psychodynamically desperate or (horror) obvious. Anyway, as the man said, it's not the shudder not the break not the whole of your mistakes not pain pain pain. Enjoy.                   CCL

I don't know about you, but I could use a bit more cowbell. Exit "Black Rose (Wheel)" – enter "Set the Pace." Happy New Year, all.                  CCL

Thanks to a freak power outage in beautiful autumn weather, my clever posting for this date is lost to the Ether. In less lazy days, I'd reformulate the whole bit. Those days are gone. Suffice it to say that the newest song rotation includes my Connecticut-era compositions (2004-2007) in the order they appeared to me. (There's a fifth tune, written smack in the middle, but it remains unrecorded.) You've heard all these pieces, assuming you've been checking in from time to time, but 'Sleep Easy' has a new (much improved) mix. Is that enough to justify a reshuffling? Why not, I say. Damn the wiring, and enjoy the mellow sounds of my living room.                                 CCL

Yet another new tune -- I will not question, I will only post. Enjoy.            CCL

The good will marches on, unabated: two more tracks from Dim Seven.              CCL

As some of you have noticed, the rare addition of a shiny new song to my catalogue ("This is the Fight") put me in such a fine state of mind that I unleashed a few more near-ancient, analog tracks from EKB's past ("Different Beast" and "59 to Here"). Strong tunes, both, but kept hidden on account of their dismal recording quality. What can I say? My defenses are weakening. A few tracks remain from the last of our non-digital albums, Dim Seven, and who knows…they may make an appearance, too, before the summer's out.                     CCL

This just in, assembled masses – a brand new, badly mixed, painfully drumless (hey, recording in my apartment has its limitations) tune from yours truly. "This is the Fight," lyrics below for those interested. Enjoy.              CCL

 

This is the Fight.

words and music by Cody C. Lindsey, M.D.

 

And after thinking it over

I'm coming down on the side where

     the wound is white
Get a little kick in the teeth tonight

 

Sure as sandfire into glass

You'd change your combination, try to hide the

     blush as you walk right past

Nobody's ever gonna know

 

That I was the soul

And you were the sole survivor

                          

So if this doesn't feel

Like a famous final reel

Catching the light

We're gonna make it right

 

A simple deconstruction

Watch parts, black asphalt baking in the sun

Waking up overrun

                                                               

But there was a time, my dear

When I just hassled Houston, skipped stones

     in my bad boy gear

Lucky if I would ever know

      

That you were the soul

Stirring up a real revival

 

So if this doesn't feel

Like a famous final reel

Catching the light

We're gonna make it right

 

(Bridge/Solo)

 

Why don't you think it over?

Pick up a little midnight, shakes as you

     roll it down the line

This is yours, this is mine

 

A collection of pieces

Too hot to touch and brilliant in the dark

I think that everybody knows

 

That you are the soul

You are my soul

Everyone knows

 

So if this doesn't feel

Like the famous final reel

Catching the light

We're gonna make it right

Catching the light

We're gonna make it right

 

This is the fight

This is the fight

This is the fight

This is the fight.

All downbeat, all the time – works for Cowboy Junkies, makes me nervous. So this rotation is a little upbeatier, save for the last of the four. "KLF," an instrumental entry from Strong For Carrie that, for all its technical shortcomings, really hit that feeling-wistful-in-the-Gulf-Coast-springtime nail right on the head. Rock, then recline. See you next time.                          CCL

Tonight's entry in the experiment is substantial, folks, as it is my most favoritest of all my songs. A little shuffling, yes, but into the mix I toss "Stone's Throw," for better or worse. I think of the odd and swaying pile of whathaveyou that comprises the things I've written since, oh, Mrs. Leinen's class in the sixth grade, and I always come back to this tune. It'll probably bore you, but what the hell. When I hear it, in all its poorly recorded, Jacob's parents' living room-esque grandeur, I see faces and places and the like that I see, well…no other time. I see planes taking off, and bullet vans, and coastal precipices. Goddammit, I see you and me and what we were, what we won't be again. Blah blah blah. It's a sad song, but it's comforting. I was eighteen when I wrote it, nineteen when I recorded it, and here's to 1997. May it live forever. May it never come back.                         CCL
