shameless self-promotion department - Flat Lake ‘09 - Jinx Lennon & Miss Paula Flynn (via vicarious evolution)

The triffid lamps of Bellingham are calling you
Their crocus lengths are leaning towards you
Their insides are made of alloyed steel
P.E. and Wu Tang tapes in the car you start to feel…

You’ve got to get out for a while
You can’t be sitting in the house fucking around like that
Smell the coffee, Drive around
Look to the left of you, look to the right of you
Go on, go a little faster
You hearts caving in like a mining disaster

Jinx Lennon: Raw punk folk poet. Musically very hip-hop influenced (despite performing mostly with an acoustic guitar) and “primitive” (according to himself), his lyrics deal, often humorously, with the minutiae of everyday life in a bleak Irish country town. [from Last.fm]

I saw him and Paula Flynn (best known for her cover of “Let’s Dance” with StellarSound), at last year’s Flat Lake Festival in Co Monaghan, Ireland. This year’s festival is August 14–16 hint hint nudge nudge.
