Brother - “Darling Buds of May”

Brother, the self-proclaimed purveyors of ‘gritpop’, are a relatively new band based out of the UK. Brother’s story isn’t all that unusual. These guys were looking for a way out of their small hometown of Slough and decided that rock ‘n roll was it. After working for months on material, their debut EP, Fly By Nights is out today on iTunes!

Brother’s guitar-driven rock is a modern take on 90s Britpop. Spin pretty much hits the nail on the head by saying they “sound as if they nicked the best bits of both Oasis and Blur… calculated, shameless and giddy - but, damn, did it work.”

These guys have an exciting future ahead of them. A performance on Letterman May 6th, summer touring, including dates with Morrissey in June, and the release of a full-length album produced by Stephen Street out later this summer. I highly recommend checking out one of their live shows if you get the chance. They put on a killer performance.

Statistically you know nothing, and it's ok.

You can do it lil guy

This morning I walked into my office and immediately felt my stress level increase before anything even started going on! Tightness in my chest, increased heart rate, and a feeling of being overwhelmed. I really need to not be so accountable to everyone. WTF is going on here? Eight months without taking a vacation day and I really feel it. Get Me Out Of Here And On To A Beach!

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal…

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.

They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
‘Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
