Montana is the blue sky state. Or the big sky state? Something to do with the sky I know that. I've never been to Montana. But the Oblio Joes have been to San Jose, CA. They arrived in a van one summer to record this album at our studio. Danny the drummer was Dale's little brother. They rolled up all screwed up and laid down this amazing track.
Survival Song.
It's a godsend in this culture
to be just another martian
out of my head, 'cause love is deadbut at night we are all vultures
interstellar pirates evolve you know
come and blowhey what you gonna say
when jesus makes his appointments
and your name ain't on the listyou got cut
so what
yeahand all the rockers have no dreams
and all the hollywood stars are insane
so let's all go and flush our brains right down the toileti wanna hear the ocean roar
i wanna fuck her on the shore
we'd be in love but we'd be more
we'd be damned to hellit's murder in this culture
to say there is no culture
so just eat your burgers and indulge her
and don't complaindon't look into the bloodshot eyes
the sandals tie dies the suits and ties
just wait around for the flood to rise
and take them awaythe value of the dollar
like the value of my father
just slips through my hands and
drives me awayi don't know who to trust
but all the suits are out for blood
and all the peace kids are too contrived
and i'm just trying to surviveyeah i don't know who to trust
when everybody's out for blood
conspiracy maybe right or wrong
but i'll just sing survival songi'll sing this survival song
go to their site and check out more of their stuff. they'll have a new album soon too.
Hi-dee-ho from Oblio Joes! Thnaks for the post, and the kind comments. I guess we were pretty wrecked when we showed up, huh? Ah ... younger days. I still get all kinds of warm fuzzies when I think about that first trip to San Jose. It was great for our band and especially cathartic for Dan.
PS - Our new album should be out in late August. We are super excited about it. Hoo-ah! Send our love to everyone.
