The brain flutters, the mind reels, the psyche collapses into itself as the beat puts on its jackboots and the guitar roots through the trash. Clark is Sylvia Plath for a cyberpunk world, elegant and neurothenic, a fine crystal goblet with a bead of blood running down from the rim.

Your legs I'm all nerves Black lacquered Horse hair whip My own heels Heal my hurt Horse hair whip Feel your floor Chloe in the Afternoon Chloe in the Afternoon Chloe in the Afternoon Chloe in the Afternoon Chloe in the Afternoon No kisses, no real needs No kisses, no real needs Who here Hear your word Ring, ring phone Send you home Find my heels Heal my hurt Grab my choke? Back to work

I think or I believe she says: no kisses, no real names.. and not "grab my choke" she says white white shirt , back to work..

@cche16 "Avant garde" is 10 letters. It's as "big" a word (thought it's actually two) as "pineapples" (I hope to God you know what those are). If you're so ignorant (ig-ner-unt lacking in knowledge) so as to criticize someone else for having an appropriate (uh-proh-pree-it suitable) vocabulary for their situation, you need to expand (ik-spand make larger) your own and look up the damn phrase. I do think she's rather avant garde, by the way.

@CheapHoudini what are you talking about?

@vivelavidarocka "Give this artist credit. " Did better I bought

the CD "Strange Mercy ". I didn't swipe it off the internet. In fact I was able to duplicate her guitar tone using a 100w Marshall through a Bose 802. The trick was to cover the face of the 802 with foil. It's a unique tone for sure. Won't work on a 4x12 though.

@cche16

2/10 made me reply

@vivelavidarocka LMAO what the fuck is avant garde?! like, why do these snobby music fans try to one up us regular music lovers by attempting to sound smarter than the rest of us by using unnecessary big words? they just ruin it for everyone else & embarrass themselves. What are you trying to prove? Are you that insecure? does using big words make up for one's short comings?? So pathetic. Cheerleader reminded me of Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana

[subj3ctt0chang3]

Are you guys arguing if she's trying to be create her own individual style? Isn't that the idea for every artist? No art is really good unless the artist is really trying to express the vulnerable part of themselves that makes them individual. Thats why Daniel Johnston may not sound that great on a surface level, but he's easier to connect to than the Backstreet Boys.

@peteware1 Dude, she's as Prog - Punk as any Prog - Punk can be. So yes, she's intentionally trying to sound different. Or you think Pink Floyd's, Yes' Black Flag's King Crimson's experimental elements were just a bunch of accidents that happened in the studio? Or they aren't noticeable that they were trying to create something never tried before? C'mon. Give this artist credit. She's trying something different and not goin' with the top 40's pre fabricated music studio formulas.

[vivelavidarocka]

@cche16 Yeah, right? Reads like a Vanity Fair or The Economist review of a song. My God! the petulance.... Why just don't say "is fucking good" period!

And I've noticed the slow but steady increase of snobby new fans, that perceive her as being an "avant garde" musician (and she is, but not for the "snobbysm" of the term) when she's just more Punk than anything else.

[vivelavidarocka]

@hunteriffy In your opinion. For me this is a masterfully crafted song. So Punk and sophisticated at the same time, is genius!
