omg yes
New jam doesn’t even close to sounding as good as the Avalanches.
New song I wrote.
- Sampled Real Genius
- Influenced by Phoenix’s United (more specifically, “If I ever feel better”)
- But more lo-fi
Lyrics:
December 31st, we’re going downtown.
Streetcar with my friends Russ, Blayne, Ginger and Lindsay Brown
Daiquiris in my cup, Bellini with Strawberry
St. Charles Avenue never ever felt so free.
I’m just thinking…
I’m just thinking about…
I’m just thinking…
I’m just thinking about the kiss.
We’re gonna party like it’s two-thousand-nine-to-ten
In New Orleans where the party never ends.
We’ll rule the city with all my best of friends,
Forget about 2009, ‘cause here comes 2010.
I’ll never kiss and tell…
with the girl on the streetcar.
I see you on the dancefloor, I pull you close to me.
Bust out all the dancemoves, from 1993.
Shoot me a little smile, and now I think I’m stuck on you.
Trying to play my cards, but mainly tryin’ to play it cool.
All night, I think about exactly what it’d be like.
If we kissed, would it be real good? Would it be bad or just alright?
Clock strikes 12, the year is new, I look around and everybody kisses.
I get real shy when I’m around you, I had a chance but now I know I missed it.
I’ll never kiss and tell…
with the girl on the streetcar.
Say goodnight to all our friends, and ride the streetcar to the end… of the line.
Small talk, but I give you the look that lets you know I’m thinking, “Girl you’re fine.”
Then comes the time when we have to say goodbye.
Lean in, and let it happen, I’m never gonna forget this night.
I’ll never kiss and tell…
with the girl on the streetcar.
I used to have an electronic project called “Hattiesbeat.” Well, I’m resurrecting it. Here’s a new (tentative) song called “Pound for Pound.”
p.s. I HATE my voice.
p.p.s. but I LOVE you!
My Glo-fi treatment of Phoenix’s “Fences.” Sounds nothing like Thomas Mars. Sorry I butchered, it Phoenix! It’s a short snippit anyway.

This is a song I wrote about my native state.
