This past July someone pointed out that one of our songs, Window Pain, was being nominated on indiemusicpeople.com for something called the 2025 Golden Kayak Award, in the Alternative category... which as they put it, represents the journey of the indie, one artist, navigating down the river towards destiny.
My first reaction was... HUHHH?? Followed by the apologetic self-depreciating thought "well, it's not really a very good song... I mean, it's one of our throw-aways... and last I looked it's not even included on our website, not even on the EXTRAS page..."
But I digress... it DOES feature an actual audio recording of a Sigmund Freud lecture on psychosis - THAT has to count for something, no? No, I guess it doesn't. Not when in reality it was only added in an attempt to make the recording seem a lot deeper than it was - as if the play on words, changing Window PANE to Window PAIN wasn't heavy-handed enough. Am I being too hard on the song? No, it's quite all right. I can knock it because I wrote it. I KNEW it was awful then... it's no less awful now. Look at Sigmund's face... even HE knows it's an awful song...
But then again - SOMEONE nominated it - - and it certainly wasn't me or anyone I know. Slow day at Indie Music People? Why do I ponder such things? What's wrong with me?... Why can't I just accept a compliment?... or several compliments... maybe Sigmund would know the answers to that.
There's Gold In Them Thar Hills
Our ol friends 'Out of Bodies' return to the site, got that British Invasion/by way of Hell's Kitchen?, intriguin' voice-over on an emotive vocal that recalls The Bee Gees or maybe Herman's hermits, or Manfred Mann, remember them?, a soulful 2 minute ditty, recalls "N.Y. Mining Disaster, 1941" a bit here or there, kudos...
