Sad Girl on the Bus

I’ve always developed a very quick crush
for the sad faced girl, riding on the bus
Her clothes say she might be alternative
And I can’t tell her what I would give
To see her smile on this day
Just a little glimpse will roll the clouds away ayyy
And I dream we might be listening
To the very same songs on our ride
As she oh so subtly nods her head
I fall in love with her, again and again
Oh I dream we might be listening
To the very same song, the very same song
Under our breath, rows apart
We sing along oh we sing a long
Big headphones protect from the world
I sit there watching with my toes curled
Thinking about dreaming about the things she says
Cuddled next to a lover in bed
And I wanna say those things too
Just to see her smile, To see her smile

You make me feel nervous inside. I'm so uncomfortable. Please tell me if you like me.

I asked her if she liked me she said no. Oh no. That’s a problem for me because I like her. Oh no no no. I said, "I’m sorry."
She said, "No-ohhhh. No I don’t like you." She said, "No-ohhh. Not in that way."She said, "No-ohhh. No I don’t like you."
I said, "I’m sorry."
I asked her why and she said, "Because I don’t find you attractive as a man. I don’t see you in a romantic light."
Oh no no no. I said, "I’m sorry."

June or July

It's the subtle loneliness of summer. The way my living room fan sounds like rain on a window. It lures me to sleep with the irregular rhythms against time.
I don't know why, but I think of you.
Your body in crescent form next to mine. The smell of an air conditioner running over time. I've always found it quite arousing. Not really. I just prefer the felling of a bedroom hermetically sealed.
I don't know why, but I think of you.
We could stay inside all of July.

Listen to Yo La Tengo

What's your favorite song? Is it Sugarcube? Is it something from the 90s or a more recent release?
We'll sit together and listen to Yo La Tengo. We'll sit together and read out the lyrics. I think I love you.
Do you like it better when Georgia sings the songs, or when Ira sings? I guess they're both pretty great.
What do you think about the album Summer Sun? It's slow, and sensual, and great for making out.
I think I love you.

I woke up singing an L7 song
I'm such a fucking square
Pretending I was dead
Laying in my Bed
It's the only song I know
I drove to work with Sebadoh
They're not a good friend they're
nervous
When I call
They're not too amused
I left my home with The Jesus Lizard
I left for a couple of weeks
I returned to find it in perfect order
and everyone breathed through their nose
So gimme gimme gimme
Alternative Nation
Gimme gimme gimme
Matador
Gimme Gimme Gimme
What I wanna hear
1990s indie rock and roll
Gimme Slanted and Enchanted
Gimme Heatmiser
1990s indie rock and roll

Boys Like Jason Chicago, Illinois
Boys Like Jason are many things. They are at onces solidly obscure yet their sound is comforting in its familiarity. They
record in bathrooms, hallways, and basements across the nation.
"What BLJ lacks in production techniques and performance proficiency, are made up for by an undeniable love of underground pop music–written and performed with child-like wonder"
