Here's a very dark video of 4 songs from our set that night.  The audio for these songs wasn't as bad as the rest.  SOunds all right!  

Youth in Asia will be playing a show on Friday March 1st in Oakland at 1525 Webster Street.  Within the gallery will be the works of Dan Isaac Bortz.  Music starts at 11.  It's going to be loud, fast, and angry.  I hope to see friend and foe alike!

Loose

Funhouse

Pull the Plug

In a bedroom

dark and blurry

full of noises he hears
always.

Vegetable man, alone in the can-

nothing but the water at your feet,

but I can see you

plugged in and passed out

living in strange dreams.

(and) If I pull the plug

will you smile?

(and) If I pull the plug

will you feel relief?

You're a dead man,

stained man,

barely conscious thing.

To kill a dead man 

is not so hard a thing.

So pull the plug,

Pull the plug,

end the dream

and pull the plug.

You're a shadow man

tired man

let me help you sleep.  

To kill a dead man 

is not so hard a thing.

You're not the same.

That's where the pain begins,

but if I pull the plug,
will you feel relief?
and if I pull the plug,
will you smile?

*for Youth in Asia

Hang on to Yourself

From The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

Performed live in 1973 at London's Hammersmith Odeon Theatre.

The Duke of FlimFlam

Here's a piece I sketched up a couple years ago.  Some sort of flamingo duke or baron I suppose. 

About Me

The Dovers

I Can't Answer You Anymore

Sorry for all the Elliott Smith posts but I've been on a kick.  

Something came from nothing today
While I was saying no.
So don't you knock on my door,
'Cause I can't answer you anymore.

Absence makes the heart grow fond
Stayin' away from people.
Was a question before,
But I can't answer you anymore.

Skip to the scene where we meet,
And roll the song.
I did everything right
For somebody that does everything wrong.

So I go from coast to coast
Over the Hawthorne bridge
To the one I adore.
You asked me what I'm looking for,
But I can't answer you anymore
No I can't answer you anymore.

Only in My Dreams
