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

The Atrocities are in Blue (free) 03:54
lyrics

Hey Steph Please think it through you can't do the thing that you want to do now I know that she's being an ignorant bitch But you're gonna go home tomorrow You're gonna go home tomorrow Thanksgiving is just one day per year Hey Don't kill your grandma please I know that feeling but you've gotta hold on. Hey Please bite your tongue You can yell all about it when you're gone Hey Steph Wait for your car You can drive as fast as you wanna go shout out loud to a jam make it home feeling glad You're gonna go home tomorrow. You can find catharsis in the guitar Hey Steph You don't have to respond Just write down the juciest passages and we'll laugh and laugh and cry (a little) We all know the existential horror of that relative. You're gonna go home tomorrow.

File Save As (free) 02:06
lyrics

I save every note you write when I’m asleep And you have to get on with your day I roll out of bed crusty and congested I place it in a folder marked Important documents I made a collage on my wall Of all the things you wrote to me While I slept So that I can remember All the things you think of me When I’m asleep slash comatose. So that I can remember all the things you wrote to me While I slept So that I can remember all the things you felt for me When I was Dreaming of you. And also my teeth falling out.

I was interesting several years ago I was a going concern when we met I You're still here I don't think you've been paying attention.

She Sings (When) (free) 03:23
lyrics
download
My girl's got a great voice that she will never share I've asked and asked and one time I bribed her but she doesn't care She feels shy about it. I don't understand why. I've got rose tinted ears and eyeballs too A rhyming line has to end in cry And when she hums my life can't get much better but if she sings oh you know I just might die Just last week I almost caught her singing and dancing alone Beyonce loud and no pants on such a wonder to behold I wanted badly to join her but she would never have that Maybe she's saving it (singing) for marriage I'd be okay with that. I just might die.

You and Me and $5 (free) 03:45
lyrics
download
5 dollars can buy a lot of things if you're careful it can go far if you try 5 can buy an sandwich plus coffee and a cigarette bummed from a friend A fake tattoo and a paperback from a used book store You and me and $5 may not be enough to make it I don't think we have what it takes to go very far, girl I don't think we can make it all the way on just $5 today $5 can't pay the rent on any place that's real $5 can't buy a pizza or a pair of pants or even a t-shirt Money can't No it can't buy happiness But it takes it just a little bit more than $5 to get you close to where you want.

Doesn't Rhyme (free) 02:10
lyrics
download
I have a girlfriend. Her name doesn't rhyme with anything I can't write a love song cause her name just won't rhyme I don't know what to do I can't say anything I don't know how to properly express my feelings Her name doesn't rhyme with any word in English Your name just doesn't rhyme with anything I want to say I want to tell her how I feel about her But I can't do it I really can't do it Cause her name won't rhyme. It refuses.

about

Boys Like Jason image

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"
