song for grocery shopping

mp3

two cloth bags
and shopping list
i ought ask
my wife to add to it

feta cheese
turkey sausages
leafy greens
chick peas scallions

and granola and yogurt for my love

farm fresh eggs
potatoes by the bag
pita bread
tomatoes in the can

and maybe some red wine maybe none
tonight maybe white

mark the ground mark the lead

mp3

mark the ground
mark the lead
mark the volts
in between
and the spark who's arc the path completes
mark the ground
mark the lead

does the grave
know her ghost
does the worm
know her host
can we compose as we decompose
does the ground
know her ghost

mark the man
mark his peace
mark where he
did overreach
and tomorrow i will physics teach
mark the ground
mark the lead

over pittsburgh pa

mp3

light shaped as an "H"
over pittspurg pa
silent

seen by my open eyes
through vertical blinds
flying

now counting six or seven
leveled around 45 degrees heading east
i believe

and all that remains
the impression it made
whitish

at our tiny dinner table

first deirdre and conor ep available at: beattheindiedrum.com

BTID is proud (or happy as a pig in…mud) to announce its latest netlabel release, At Our Tiny Dinner Table, brought to you by Philadelphia’s Deirdre and Conor. Readers of BTID’s previous incarnation might be familiar with Conor’s membership in Chicago’s now-defunct (but still appreciated!) First Coat, who we had the pleasure of saying a few words about here. Deirdre, no stranger to the Hyde Park scene herself, spent time in the Passerines. The two fell in love and found their paths leading them to the Philly area, where they recently married and began writing songs as a collective. At Our Tiny Dinner Table is their first official release together and hopefully not their last. Be sure to check out the video below for the first ’single’ off the EP!
The news that this would be arriving in my inbox this week set us off on a euphoric wave of glee. It feels great to be getting back into the ‘business’ of releasing music we enjoy and love. 3 years have passed since we had the opportunity to do so. Thank you for continuing to tune in and enjoy the EP + video!
