nod and wink, rattle and sink
why don't you tell me what you think,
it's in the blink of an eye, but i can tell
you're on the brink of something better than this
why don't you wear it on your wrist
you say i'm wearing your lipstick,
color me so unconvinced
count on it to discount yourself
why don't we leave it on the shelf
you say it's selfish, at least, that's how i'll sell it
i can tell you're looking for something else
but in the end I'm still around
i know that you got your doubts,
but we can make this happen now
part of it's just passing the time
a temporary state of mind
it might mean nothing, but hey, at least that's something.
and some things are the sum of their parts
you're an equation i can't parse
and what i know about anything
you're everything I'm not

A pair of revved-up songs from the L.A. group Cuffed Up with the snarl of punk and the noisiness of vintage Sonic Youth. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2019
This Pittsburgh band's gloriously messy mash-up of post-punk, garage rock, and shoegaze is snotty enough to be considered plain old punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 2, 2022
