Jack Vendetti

You spun through our town
a whiskey soaked tornado
Your songs are magic

Hey Jack Vendetti
You are an urban legend
We Tell your stories

There was this one time..
Music Man bolero tie
We all remember

Kicked out of our bars
they just don't get your humor
or maybe they do

RoRo's Record Club Haikus

(Swale - Direct Inbreds)
Ethereal noise
my guts feel pleasantly calm
bones shiver and shake.

Fuzzy fuzzy crunch
crunchy crunchy velvety
I want to pet you.

I'm under water
could this be what drugs sound like?
from within a womb?

(Brody Dalle - Diploid Love)
You are dressed in dreams
snakes writhing in my rib cage
red lips dipped in blonde
Voice thick and caustic
bring us to your underworld
harness my fuck you

(Sylvan Esso - Sylvan Esso)
Tiny big voices
it's a gentle dance party
dreamy open space

If Portishead and
Esthero and maybe Cat
Power had a child


(Heloise and the Savoir Faire - Diamond Dust)
My pelvis is hot
pressed in the interior
you're inside with me
Your candy voice licks
my dull heart surfaces through
and I dive in it

(Dengue Fever - Venus on Earth)
Maybe we're all hipstersor we're zombie mannequins
either way, we're friends

All over the map
party girl parker posey
missing my lover

(Roc Marciano - Reloaded)
Smooth like aged whiskey
Fresh like a dirty mouthed boy
Swimming in champagne

Hotdog Hamburger
Your voice is scratching my itch
beats soothe it all out

(Southern Cookin' - Self-titled)
It's been a shit week
A honey dipped rendezvous
licked my insides smooth

When you wrote these songs
in 1979
I was three years old

(Oblivians - Desperation)
Teeth clamp, hips wiggle
Somebody call the police
Rock and roll sexy

In a grunge bar
Tight shirts and double whiskeys
Sweaty, drunk, gritty

(The Muggs - Full Tilt)
thrown back someplace good
but my daddy don't live here
falling in full tilt

(Freddy Gibbs)
Hot day drink early
representin in summer
this is our soundtrack

no bullshit party
Gary Indiana beats
mutha fuckin gold

(Chelsea Wolfe - Apokalypsis)
At first it's scary
but if it's like when I dream
I can learn from this 

Ethereal voice
vibrates my inner ear drum
and then someone looms

(Guards - In Guards We Trust)

today we wished for

summertime to hurry up

maybe this will help

I can almost taste

when everything felt simple

but was it ever?

(Palma Violets 180)

This takes me back to 

A time when I wasn't here

it's not deja vu

(Adebisi Shank - This is the Second Album of a band called)

Eee! Eee! Eee! Eee! Eee!

Video game bing bing bing

comic book soundtrack

Popcorn in my brain

Anxiety attack me

Let's go make messes

(Police Teeth - Police Teeth)

Stomp stomp dance party

you're yelling, I'm listening

let's tear up the place

(FERGUS & GERONIMO - Funky was the State of Affairs)

Our shoulders shimmy

You say "No Parties," but dude -

You're picking my speed

Your day - shake it out

Whatever happened is gone

This pleases me, too

Throwback dance party

should we be smoking the weed?

let's all get haircuts

(MATH the band - Get real)

yell excitedly!!

I'm yelling excitedly!!

Yell Yell Yell, it's fun!!!

(The UV Race -Racism)

We need a stage cage

to take turns gogo dancing

do birds have secrets? 

it's like maybe if

Stooges, talking heads, and ween

made an Aussie babe

(Echo Lake - Wild Peace)

We All tilt our heads

and look up at the ceiling

this isn't shoe gaze

lazy honey heart

napping on summer sundays

tattoo this in me

then you got happy

played ring around the rosey

pockets full of gum

(Simon Joyner - Ghosts)

Deep in my gut well

We needed a whiskey break

to drown the dark place
