I try, I try, I try

Bloc Party - Letter To My Son (zShare)

I've been listening to this song on repeat for the past 45 minutes or so. Suffice to say I think it's pretty damn good. Some lyrics:

I found myself at the point where we kissed first
On a rooftop overlooking the East London mosque

They say, they say, they say, they say
"You can't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
I say, I say, I say, I say
Keep it casual, easy thing

And you looked so right in that red dress

Oh how I'd love to be a rock for you
To be anything you could rely on

So I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
But I'll get caught out
So we'll try, we'll try, we'll try, we'll try
But we forget the lines, forget the lines

And you looked so wanton in the back of the car
Like you could start a hundred wars

See what trouble we could both cause
By the bedroom door, the kitchen floor
I tried, I tried, I tried
...
To be the father to a son
I tried, I tried, I tried

Forgive me Oscar

In other news, I just finished (as in, a couple hours ago) reading Between Us And Oblivion, by Brian Fatah Steele. It's an amazing book, and one I'd highly recommend. I'm not the best at describing such things, but the cover description of a novel of magic and monsters, horrors and humanity is about as good as any. It's self-published, so you can only get it here. Also, Brandi Wells has a new chapbook coming out on Nov. 15 via ML Press entitled Patience, which is sure to be amazing. You can get it for $2 (!) here.
