"Hard Reaction to Love"
by Corey Landis
INTRO: F Dm/Bb
VERSE 1
F Dm/Bb
I'm dodging dishes
F Eb Bb/D
By my head a frying pan whizzes
F/C C F/D C/E F
Mouthing silent prayers to God above
My wise-cracking
Has caused unforeseen ransacking
She turns on a dime and plays way too rough
She just has a hard reaction to love
Bb/F F
CHORUS
Bb F
And I love her I do
(hard reaction to--)
But I think I'm about through
(hard reaction to love)
F/D F/Bb
'Cause all the screaming and the fisticuffs
Make me want to hock the diamond in the rough
F/C F
I thought I knew
VERSE 2
Things were fine for a year
I can't even recall when the fire (first) appeared
It's hard to think straight when you're being shoved
But after the dust settles
And I'm picking off flower petals
She says she's sorry and I shouldn't feel rebuffed
She just has a hard reaction to love
CHORUS
And I love her I do
(hard reaction to--)
But I think I'm about through
(hard reaction to love)
'Cause all the screaming and the fisticuffs
Make me want to hock the diamond in the rough
I thought I knew
BRIDGE
Eb Eb/F Bb Eb/Bb Bb
It doesn't matter that I don't deserve it
It's up to me if I want to preserve it
I've just gotta hold onto the good times
Bb Bb/A Bb/G Bb/F
When I observe them
Bb/Eb Bb/F
Or learn to take a punch
Bb
If I can't swerve them
VERSE 3
(INST.)
So, she's got some issues
It's hard to tell if she's gonna hit you or kiss you
I'm gonna have to invest in some boxing gloves
To soften her hard reaction to love

INTRO: Am/C Bb/D F/C Dm (rep.)
VERSE 1
Am/C Bb/D
Time expands and contracts
F/C Dm
Like a rusty accordion
Am/E Bb/F
Until I'm old and wrinkled
F/C C
Like a pruny Floridian
Bb F
Step backwards though my footprints
Bb F
Straighten the picture on the wall
Eb Bb/D
Comb the ends of the rug
Eb/Bb F/C
Check the phone in case you called
Gm Gm/F
Clean the wall before I pound it

REFRAIN
Eb Bb
And tie up all the loose ends (rep.)
Eb Bb F
Tie up all the loose ends
VERSE 2
Been unnoticed so long
Feel like a Gideon
Now I'm trapped in the fire
Like a branch Davidian
I'm behind a 2-way mirror
Like a shoplifter at Walgreens
You're just checking your lipstick
But it looks like your blowing kisses to me
You don't know me like you think you do
I'll straighten up when I'm all through
REFRAIN
And tie up all the loose ends
Tie up all the loose ends
BRIDGE
Dm Bb F (rep.)
Dm Dm/Bb Bb/F F
There's no such thing as a venial sin

"Depleted"
VERSE 1
Em Am
They fixed the highway
G Em
Now there's a scar going down the road
A
And you can't tell
Em
Which line to follow
You let everything
Eat away at you too long
It's bound to
Leave you hollow
CHORUS
A Em
But the dog is sleeping
The toms are peeping
The souls are keeping
Am Em
The conclusions are leaping
D
And both you and I
Em
Should be sleeping
VERSE 2
The only thing
That keeps you going some days
Is knowing
It's in your blood
But sometimes it's
Just a trickle
Sometimes
It's a flood
CHORUS
But the dog is sleeping
The toms are peeping
The souls are keeping
The conclusions are leaping
And both you and I
Should be sleeping
BRIDGE
F Am
You just keep on giving
F Am
And everyone's on the take
G
Too many striped pajamas ruin even
Am
The best-planned jailbreak
VERSE 3
You've said everything
You have to say and yet
You haven't
Said a thing
How can there be
So much pressure
When no one's
Listening?
CHORUS
The file's deleted
Death cheated
Your dough's been kneeded
Robert is reeded
And both you and I
are depleted
But the dog is sleeping
The toms are peeping
The souls are keeping
The conclusions are leaping
And both you and I
Should be sleeping

F Em Dm G/B C
I had my own doll you could get at the mall
If you pulled my string I'd say, "My favorite season is Fall"
But we started to get old
I turned 15 and they said I was looking like a toad
Stopped getting paid, stopped getting laid
And the paper said I was gay
I'm my favorite trivia answer anyway

soon there'll be nothing left of you

i love you but you're crazy

Beyond The Static
by Nick Piunti
supported by 4 fans who also own “Corey Landis & The Attacks”
Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'.

If It Feels Good Do It - A Sloan Tribute
by Futureman Records
supported by 4 fans who also own “Corey Landis & The Attacks”
For me and my crusty, ringing ears, the tribute album lost it's charm long ago. But once in a while, there's still one that hits it outta the park. When the subject is as great as SLOAN, it's a can't lose proposition. I've never heard the majority of the acts here (tho I'm a big fan of Fireking), but damned if I hear a duff track on this set. If you're already a fan of the Halifax Heroes don't think twice, nab this 31 track monster! Another winner from Futureman.

The Secret Art Of Saying Nothing

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts.

Norwegian power pop outfit founded by members of black n' roll heavyweights Kvelertak strike a perfect balance between catchy and caustic.

Melatonin Doomsday Blues
by Strange Magic
Home-produced, sun-warped indie rock with wry wit and charming jangle from New Mexico's Javier Romero.
go to album
supported by 4 fans who also own “Corey Landis & The Attacks”
Everything that Bryan Scary touches is musical gold... at first when he branched out from the Shredding Tears to do Evil Arrows I was heartbroken... but these songs are full of the solid power-pop brilliance that his earlier work exhibited, if a bit more guitar-driven. Wonderful stuff!
