Withered Hand - “Oldsmobile Car” You were checking your email at your parents house. You had come over for dinner because your mum asked you, and you realised it had been a long time, and without Jonathan there you thought maybe the house would feel empty. It didn't, though. You ate your mum's chicken and they poured you wine and your dad had for some reason baked a cake, since when does he bake cakes?, but he had, something with peaches, and you ate it and it was pretty good.

Now your parents were in the living-room, in easy chairs, watching Law & Order. It was 8:41pm. You were at the black IKEA computer desk checking your email; the only light in the room was the big buzzing CRT monitor.

Get your cybersex on! Subpop just posted a super-awesome sampler for download, from their site that fell out of a wormhole from 1996.

MP3: Reading Rainbow - “Totem Pole”
MP3: Reading Rainbow - “In the City”
Grown on a field, raised by grass and old leaves, taught by ants and rain. Subsisting on loose dirt, worms, and fine-tasting roots. Given gifts of wind-blown seeds, sung to at night by creaky trees and warm stars. Held tight by snow drifts, held in empty arms. Thoughts without language, a smell that sweet stings, breath like discs of grey light.
