Nice Night for a Neck Injury (Suck Brick Kid) by The Holly Springs Disaster

It occurs to me that I have never, before my post yesterday, mentioned the existence of The Holly Springs Disaster. Well now. Ordinarily, they fall into a category of bands I would normally hate - the kind that spend most of their songs singing about sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll with unnecessary cursing and references to “getting fucked up” or drug addictions. Unfortunately, these are basically the only things they cover. Oddly enough, I like them despite that. I just really enjoy listening to them, and somehow they’re one of my favourite bands to listen to merely for the sound and the style. They’ve got a southern metal style to them, despite being Canadian.

The story behind me knowing they exist is that they played a show on PEI and partied with a number of my friends afterwards. Wherever I was, nobody thought I’d want to go or something I guess. Even though the guy who was living in my basement at the time knew I’d like them enough to let me rip their CD, because he happened to be there for that show. You know, without me. The guy providing his bed. And food.

So yeah now I get to see them next Saturday! I live in Ottawa now, where things happen and people come to make things happen. So I shall make the best of it and embark on a quest to see bands I like and appreciate music and stuff. Or something. I dunno here’s a quote from the lyrics.

I have uncovered a new gem, in a bed of rocks.

And I’ve uncovered a gem, and learned a new way of polishing.

Could be set in a wedding band,

Or placed in that necklace around your neck.

I swear I have seen that place before,

It hangs around your neck.

I know this isn’t set in stone.

For whatever odd reason, I want to misinterpret these lyrics to be related to a relationship somehow. Say the gem represents a girl, the necklace represents a relationship, not being set in stone is relationships not working out and “seen that place before” is having felt the same way before.

But that’s just wishful thinking. Likely they don’t mean a whole lot.
