Burn Rubber (Simon Joyner cover)

This is a Simon Joyner cover. Joyner is from Omaha like the band Bright Eyes and Oberst i guess listens listens to him a lot. if you like bright eyes so much you should listen to Mr. Joyner, he's a talented man. This was played on the KCRW performance along with four new songs.

this song is my new years resolution.

the line 'the moon is not your mother' reminds me of that poem by sylvia plath, The Moon and The Yew Tree- "the moon is my mother." Just thought I'd add that in.

I love the " clouds dream disorder. They make faces . they make mud" part

That makes sense that it was Simon Joyners song, i thought the lyrics and everything were a bit different from the usual, i couldn't see him saying some of the things in the song.

The version he did on KCRW is pretty neat. He says that it's the best driving song ever (or something like that) and actually makes a strong effort to duplicate that feel.

The version on the Take it Easy single, on the other hand, is just dumb. The music and the vocals don't really have anything to do with each other (yes, I'm aware that it's mostly car doors slamming), and any effect that one aspect of the song creates is destroyed by the other. Oh well, that's what B-sides are for.

the chorus on this song rocks. i really like that ep.

this is a great song-i like it a lot.what is this KCRW that everyone gets music from?im going to end up feeling like an idiot shortly,but im curious.

i suggest that those who dislike this song, force themselves to listen to it. i hated it at first (i'm more a fan of simpler bright eyes), but after listening to it a few times, i really grew to enjoy it!

its "cutting off your head to spite your shoulders" i think.

and...i absolutely love so few words can describe such a pressing need for freedom and survival.

"get behind the wheel, stay in front of the storm"

you can tell it's not written by conor.

you can always tell, on every cover. not sure why i guess just doesn't sound like someone he'd write
