Self-defenestration = the act of throwing one's self out of a window. "What a beautiful day for a crushing defeat," sums up the Lucksmiths completely. This is gold. |

| The Promise Ring – Red Paint Lyrics

This song is about having a great idea in the middle of the night, before you can fall asleep, going to wake one of your friends up to tell them about it, and failing in your retelling completely. The idea in this case is that you are in love. The reference to Cherry Coke is expertly done. This song is brilliant. |

this song is talking about losing the sense of wonder you had as a little kid, trading it for lots of chemicals in old age to try to recover some of it. you fail miserably. it's nostalgic in a way, and sad. the only times you look at the stars anymore are when you are wasted. |

This song is about trying to act cool to get girls to be interested in you. This approach to picking up girls has no mixed results. It always fails. |

I like the idea of telling "The Jam kids on the Vespas," the punks, and thr rockers, that the rock and roll era has ended. |

I hear the Pumpkins got Pavement kicked off of Lollapalooza 1994. Totally different aesthetics but not totally different results. Pavement are slackers. |

this song is about going on boring dates with a girl you won't realize you are in love with until a few years down the line. in the meantime, your youth will be great, with its "blind faith and dumb luck." this song is brilliant. |
