"I have no money till next friday, I'm living off cans of black beans, no central air in the apartment, if the mold doesn't kill me I'll probably just freeze. the sink waters not safe for drinking, and showering is not advised, and I've punched holes through out the ceiling, none of my room mates are surprised"
2.
"There aren't a lot of things in this world, that I care about, but if I had to make a list, you're on it, sometimes I feel like you forget, so I'll remind you, it's cold in the midwest, but at least I'm with you"

Donnie can't stop crying bout the cold We've been living here our whole lives You'd think after 20 years We'd be used to the weather But somehow every November We find a way to bitch and complain About something we all knew was coming So goddammit Donnie put on a sweater Just stay inside and I swear that it will get better You'd think after 10 long years Of playing guitar I could write a song that doesn't suck

I looked in the window And I saw you And just for a moment You looked at me too We turned our heads away Me chatting some bullshit with my friends and you talking to yours I looked up at you again And you were looking at me I went home that day Having seen a new face Having heard a new name And somehow I knew That you were here to stay
5.
It's been 24 years And every 52 weeks I realize it's been 365 days And I'm months away From this fucking winter thawing Every year It's something we all think: "Yeah it's pretty but why the fuck do we live here" Friends and family that ties us to this place That's all I can think of when I see this look on my face The expression reads of fear The expression reads of love I get lost in the air Like a lonely little dove Flying thru the air When all his little friends were taken on time by that man for their appointment At that pretty girls wedding Where those birds were released In a place so much warmer I know It's Somewhere not so near I know that in this frozen state I'm in a frozen state And I don't really know how to make myself feel great Until the winter thaw Every year It's something we all think: "Yeah it's pretty but why the fuck do we live here" "Yeah it's pretty but why the fuck do we live in the midwest"

I'm a little more drunk than I typically like to get But I placed a bet On seeing how well I could be someone else Curious if anyone could tell There lives lonely little man living inside a lonely little town He tries and tries to root his feet into the ground But the world is so large he can't help but move around We all fall We all fall down But what makes us who we are is never how we fall It's how we how brush right off say fuck right off and move right along

Shaking Dog Tapes Poplar Grove, Illinois

Shaking Dog Tapes is a DIY shithole aiming to bring ambient, noise, power electronics, grindcore, chiptune, and all the fuckin' absurdity, horror, and fun in between, right up to the table and give you some silverware. (Sorry if you're a chopsticks person.) Starting off primarily dealing with CD-Rs due to irony, and monetary deficiencies. ... more
