flag jean
An amalgam of anything that passes thru one ear and out the other -- see our Interview page for details.
In our music, you'll hopefully find everything -- rock, orchestral, trip-hop, spacey/ambient, whatever -- most times all in one tune!! Mwah-ha-ha.... We follow no labels, guidelines, trends -- we write what we feel at any given moment; industrial one moment, folk the next. You might hear smatterings of Floyd/Waters/Gilmour, a touch of Mike Nesmith, some Metheny, maybe even some Vangelis or 80's pop, classic rock, sheer noise, Air, Terje Rypdal, and if you really stretch in order to make us seem more relevant to the times, maybe some of The Shins, Sigur Ros, etc. Basically anything that makes a noise can inspire us.

Story behind the song
Anybody that went to college with me (JP) knows who this is about. There's 3 years I'll never get back.
Lyrics
Your words weren't enough to keep you out of that City, It was a matter of time before the language dragged you in. (Heh) Apparently you've settled for a little freeloading, and a life the parents wage as a war on sin. Let's go girl the meter's running, it's running out of time. Pack up your flag, catch a bus, take the train That's leaving tonight for the great Sublime. She has never found someone that will follow her around, And try to understand. This shit's not in your college books, sister; Now, where's your fucking promised land? A room is filled with books, books filled with words snatched out here and there from backward dreams. And pictures of the ghosts and tableware and coffee cups and faded queens. Let's go girl the meter's running, it's running out of time. Pack up your flag, catch a bus, take the train That's leaving tonight for the great Sublime. Let's go girl the meter's running, it's running out of time. Pack up your flag, catch a bus, take the train That's leaving tonight for the great Sublime.
