I remember when we rang in Christmas Eve with freakish snow
But that party's over; friends split town; it’s not like years ago
When you kept our season shining and you tried to set me straight.
You were gone by Chinese New Year cuz I resolved a little late.
That December felt obscene
With my lights strung up since Halloween.
It’s Christmas, and you hate Christmas,
But you counterfeit a smile and you fake a little cheer.
It’s Christmas, and I made Christmas
Like a present never opened –
Like a gift you can’t unwrap until next year.
Now it’s Wham! on karaoke, and I heard you’re still in town,
So I set up shop in our old haunt. Drinks never let me down.
If you happened through the crowd, I’d find you to apologize
For our nights were never silent, and your man was never wise.
I would pilot us away
And remind you how you used to say:
“It’s Christmas, and I hate Christmas…”
While your family went to mass, we found another thing to do.
It’s Christmas, so let’s make Christmas
Just another day, well that’s okay.
Give me one more time when I can be with you.
Now it’s Christmas, another Christmas
So I drink until I’m merry and the room feels warm and bright.
This Christmas could be our Christmas.
War is over; I don’t wanna fight.
Baby, please come home and make my year tonight.

I Like You Strange

At 5 am you make the vaguest sound
Aware and wobbling with monster memory
I like you strange
Aloof and arch
Don't ever change
Don't break my heart
I'll be the roof above I'll be your ground
I'll be the funny face We'll be a family
I like you strange
Deranged and dark
Don't ever change
You work of art
I'm ready I can't wait
Come here where your home waits now
I'm steady I'll just wait
For you here where my heart beats now
Here where my heart beats now
Come here where my heart beats now
At 9 am you make the craziest sounds
I'm up and bristling, alarms inside of me
I like you strange
A mind apart
Though out of range
You're in my heart
I'll be your center Yeah, I'll be well-wound
I'll be the audience We'll be a comedy
I like you strange
Your fits and starts
Don't ever change
Don't fall apart
I'm ready I can't wait
Come here where your home waits now
I'm steady I'll just wait for you
Here where my heart beats now
Here where my heart breaks now
Come here where my heart beats now
I like you strange
I like you strange
I like you strange
I like you strange
I like you strange
I like you strange
I like you strange
I like you strange

Sharks and Minnows Atlanta, Georgia
Sharks and Minnows soundtracks make-out sessions and monster movies.
Sharks and Minnows recommends:
In 2001, this sounded like the future of electronic music. That future STILL has not arrived. Gorgeous, evocative, crepuscular. Melodically gorgeous and rhythmically challenging. A masterpiece.
go to album
You could say that this is the greatest punk rock album of the past decade, but Patience possesses as much poetry and nuance as it does bluntness and raw power. Desperation never felt so joyful.

On Dark Horses
by Emma Ruth Rundle
ERR coos us into woozy spaghetti western dreams. The band bursts in drop tuning nightmares. Tension abounds. ERR's voice is an angel of vengeance. This album is a call to fall in love. And maybe kill.
