There were no bombs,
there were no riots,
but I knew
this time's different,
so I hoarded black tea
and cat antibiotics,
and I called you:
"Is there anything
I could bring home to cheer you up?"
Our street's
unusually quiet,
and the birds too.
Desert monuments
in the Black Sea
and ice caps in the tropics,
but it's nothing new.
We're all alone next to each other,
and we always have been.
Spring breakers
drove back from the Baltic,
and the national debt grew,
and I got some weird advice
from our sober alcoholic neighbour.
He was wearing my old shoes,
and he said, "It's the first warm Saturday.
Write to an old friend,
then burn the letter.
That'll kill the virus.
Then throw your words into the sun."

Hey you there, do you love Jeffrey Lewis? Do you love Peter Stampfel? Are you intrigued by the notion of music that has spent so many years secretly soaking in laughter and joy that it is now downright psychedelic to look upon? Both Ways is the culmination of a decade's friendship and mutual inspiration, a behemoth of a double album, spectacular, unique. It is a signpost for drifting souls. Listen, laugh, wonder, delight, be made new. And play Orgone Accumulator fucking LOUD. Grain Sparrow
