we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

I have no clue what happened with that song. Frankly, I would be scared if it is a Ja Rule cover.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

You know, that could mean they recorded his vocals. Like saying the band finished Matt's song "Metro" even though it's a Clash cover.

metro isn't a clash song. it's by berlin.

I think that I heard the Ms Jackson cover yesterday on 89X. I laughed. I only got to hear the first part, but it sounded lame.

I heard that on 89x a coupla days ago and it was seriously the worst, most uninspired cover I've ever heard. It sounded like they were half asleep during the song.
