about
Scott Huerta on "When You Know, You Know":
I was listening to a lot of Bread and a ton of Barry White. Thanks to them it was the quickest song I've ever written. I'd never paid more attention to what kind of pick I was using on my guitar; I just wanted it to have that feathery strum sound. I had just recently been helping a friend on their song and wrote what I thought was a really great melody. They didn't want it so I used it on this one. They finished the song, but I doubt they'll ever know it.

lyrics
Song title: When You Know, You Know
Lyrics:
Fell asleep, at least I tried
From the bottom bunk instead
of looking for reason to find your bed
Baby don’t wake me every time, no
You don’t have to wake me every time, no
I’d be out of season to decline
Sorry I laughed when you said
“I can’t wait to take it slowly”
When you know you know
These things they tend to grow
I’m happy even though
you’re spending all the time we wasted
Baby don’t wake me every time, no
You don’t have to wake me every time, no
Maybe I seem lucid in your eyes
I don’t wana see that go
Even if we take the long way
I know I’m just making conversation in your car
And I can’t wait to come see you
depending on where you are, but
When you know you know
These questions tend to grow
Anything I need to know before we take this exit
Yeah, I couldn’t just be your loving man
I wana be more than something that’s just steadily moving
If I had a better mouth
I woulda put it down before it got to you
What are you doing?

about
French Cassettes San Francisco, California
Harmony-driven power-pop from San Francisco.
The quartet’s new LP, Rolodex, is hook-
filled and rooted in pop, layered with intricate vocal harmonies and counter-harmonies, inventive percussion, and every shade of clean and fuzzy guitars stacked up like an orchestra.
These uncommonly majestic, esoteric pop forms serve as the perfect delivery service for Huerta’s playful and verbose lyrics.

as the first light of dawn cracks my sky above this is just what I need for respite after listening to black metal, prog rock & Death Grips all night long. so groovy, so tasteful. haven't felt driven to catch many live bands cut from similar cloth but I attained tix to witness DEHD next time they're barreling thru Seattle, and I'm looking forward tremendously! Stay Golden, you krazy kats!!!
