Do you want to get high? (no I don’t) so says Maxïmo Park. I’m not sure how I feel about the new focus on cannabis to alter my mind as I read about the significant increase in traffic fatalities in those states that have legalized the drug in all of its forms. See Crashes Rise in First States to Begin Legalized Retail Sales of Recreational Marijuana. I am not troubled by the individual right to screw up your own mind. I am deeply troubled by the selfish asses that get in vehicles while high and then go kill someone.This should be sobering information for all of us.

There will be no fatalities listening to Tales From The Drop Box Episode 143 and while you will get high, the music will cause your car to swerve with pleasure as you sing along, so let’s be careful out there. Pray the the gods of the good shit, eh?

Here is what you’ll find in Episode 143:

  1. Chai – “Great Job” (Punk)
  2. Angel Du$t – “Biggest Girl” (Pretty Buff)
  3. Broken Social Scene – “Remember Me Young” (Let’s Try The After, Vol. 1)
  4. Commonwealth – “Runaway” (Do You Remember?)
  5. Maxïmo Park – “Get High (No I Don’t)” (As Long As We Keep Moving)
  6. Spirit Award – “Dark Night Of The Soul” (Muted Crowd)
  7. Facing New York – “Gods Of The Good Shit” (Dogtown)
  8. Buxton – “Inside Out” (Stay Out Late)
  9. Quiet Company – “Red Right Hand” (On Corners and Shapes)
  10. Moonraker – “Hurricanes” (Lanterns)
  11. Taking Back Sunday – “Call Come Running” (Twenty)
  12. Corey Lee Oswald – “You Want To Be Right or Happy?” (Darkness, Together)
  13. The Records – “Teenarama” ( b/w Hold Up High)
  14. K Michelle Dubois – “Velvet Eyes” (Harness)

I said to myself, hey man, you need some time on your own get out on the road and chase the ones you couldn’t get before . . . Teenarama is what you’re givin’ me Teenarama injections in the knee . . .

I know you won’t take my advice this time. I know I can’t help you change you life. But I can. Tales From The Drop Box Episode 142 should change the way you think about the place music plays in your life. Without it, your heart is empty. Music should make you feel love, passion, desire, or make you happy. I have final figured out that good music is your soul anchor firing the neurons as your brain finds the pattern that connects sound with feeling. So, as you listen to this, hear the passion and save your soul. Take my advice this time.

Here is what you’ll find in Episode 142:

  1. Sunflower Bean – “Fear City” (King of the Dudes EP)
  2. The Candescents – “Wet Tuesday” (Grass EP)
  3. SWMRS – “Too Much Coffee” (Berkeley’s On Fire)
  4. This Means War! – “Why We Fight” (Heartstrings)
  5. Teresa Banks – “You’re The Problem” (Bridges We Build/Bridges We Burn)
  6. Sleepwalk – “Thrust” (Splatter)
  7. Radar State – “Damn The Man” (Strays)
  8. Ohmme – “At Night” (At Night b/w Give Me Back My Man)
  9. Flesheaters – “Black Temptation” (I Used To Be Pretty)
  10. Hi Mom! – “Apathy and Mediocrity” (Songs For Me)
  11. Frank The Baptist – “Tortured Messages” (Road Omen)
  12. Tokyo Police Club – “Simple Dude” (TPC)
  13. Mass Gothic – “Call Me” (I’ve Tortured You Long Enough)
  14. Urban Dogs – “Dragnet” (Urban Dogs)
  15. Party Nails – “Luxury of Love” (Past Lives and Paychecks)
I know you won’t take my advice this time I know I can’t make you change your mind . . .  I want you wearing white I want you in a frame nothing but a t-shirt dancing in the rain.
