The world is big.
I need color, more color. I need atmosphere. I need sounds that make me smile. We could all use things like these in our lives.
Turn shit up. Be lazy. Miss a deadline. Forget. Put something off. Relax. Wonder. Don’t give a fuck. Get lost. Try something new. Make a friend. Place a phone call to someone you miss. Do things that are stupid. Do stupid that are things.
Lift yer head up and take in a big ol’ breath of fresh air, look at the sun, look at the stars, look at the dirt…
It was what I needed. My day is that much brighter. The Pantone book in our studio just folded itself inside out and did a flip and dissected into a billion more colors. The numbers were messed up and no one lifted a brow in disgust.
Let the sound be huge. Fill up yer apartment with it. Fill yer head up with it.
I nominate the Polyphonic Spree to be the official band of “feeling better about a big wide world of dismal things.”
“Wonder-full,” we’d say.
