Cas One is some dates of the tour, too.
That Vonnegut busy track might be one of his best records.

[CasOne]

Also. It's my favorite Sage album. Beat wise I think it's really going to surprise a lot of people. Bangs.

[the Wiper]

the only time i ever saw sage live was about 5 years ago with some shitty band it was god awful he "sung" the whole time

he got outshone big time by opening act b.dolan....so that gives you an idea of what was going on

i was a big sage fan back in the day so i was pretty butt hurt about it......and clearly still am...

last sage show i went to, the opening act guy ranted and raved about the government and everyone being sheep. i remember turning to my buddy and saying, 'this is probably the same typa shit the Hitler Youth used to do, wtf i'm going outside to smoke..."

Sage Francis - THANK YOU (Daytrotter Session) - FREE DOWNLOAD

"Thank You" lyrics:

You gave me language as a gift.
I turned it against you.
I was stupid, I was dumb,
I was hanged by my Judas tongue.
You shouldn't give weapons to kids who don't know better.
They can't possibly understand that there's no such thing as forever.
For every letter in the alphabet…
You said, "Connect em to a happy word
no matter how bad things get."
I did my best but the pickings got slim,
Once I arrived at "x"
and I had to think of synonyms.
I weighed them against the antonyms.
I was hanging with all the mannequins
Who were on a constant search for a person's amputated limbs.
Almost offered up my own
by trading in my arms and legs.
You said, "Learn to express yourself
if you're gonna stand for things."
I stood up. Without expression.
Stood up against everything.
Including you. I was stupid. I was adolescent.
But I had your lessons to cling on to
and I want you
to know how much it helped
considering everything that I'd gone through.
There was a period without periods.
Run-on sentences were like binges.
I was a comma with no pause.
A rebel with no clause.
Anxiety's no excuse
once there's nothing left to separate.
We could have connected, but didn't.
I was ignorant.
Passed out on the space bar.
The further we drifted apart the closer I came
to realizing just how amazing you are.
Now that you're gone I'm going to say it to the stars,
Until my words knock worlds off their axis
and the universe collapses.

Thank you for the matches.
For the gift of fire.
For the wood and the axe.
For whoopin' my ass.
For the wheel. Even if you didn't invent it.
For the impact that you had on me. It's epic.
Thank you for the effort.
For teaching me the ABC's.
Even if I never make my way to Z.
Even if I never do for someone else
exactly what you did for me.
Thank you.

I was a stupid son of a gun with initials carved into me.
I was a stray. A runaway. Afraid some day you'd shoot me.
So I scratched off the letters with a pocket knife.
That's how I lost my way when I was tossed into the fray.
This is not my life.
Who am I kidding, this is a Thank You note disguised as a written apology,
for everything you taught to me.
So awkwardly I approach…
the open microphone with everything that I wrote.
Clear my throat, adjust the collar on my coat,
As I rock crowds, microphones, and boats.
Then I stroke whatever little ego I have left.
I should have left it at the altar.
But I didn't because I'm an idiot, self-deprecating author.
With a paperback edition
that isn't worth a flip through,
If I don't give you the credit that you deserve.
You edited the words.
From the grave and beyond.
From the first sign of sun rays at dawn,
Until the moonbeams set blaze to my lawn.
The universe collapses on my front steps.
We get to share in that moment.
For just one moment.
And nobody's upset. And there's no more anger.
There are no more sunsets
So I crawl back in the chamber.
You can shoot me up. You might as well.
We had great communication before the tower fell.

Thank you for the matches.
For the gift of fire.
For the wood and the axe.
For whoopin' my ass.
For the wheel. Even if you didn't invent it.
For the impact that you had on me. It's epic.
Thank you for the effort.
For teaching me the ABC's.
Even if I never make my way to Z.
Even if I never do for someone else
exactly what you did for me.
I'll do my best. While you rest.
In peace.
Thank you.

Bit of a step down from Vonnegut Busy...I was just about to order the limited edition vinyl of this too.

[sun ra]

I haven't heard Sage in a minute. Always great, always savvy.

[Brougham33]

Really good first couple listens, probably his best since A Healthy Distrust.

[Xaula Zany]

awol one lite

Awol is the homie. That's first and foremost. I sincerely dig his style. However, Copper Gone consists mainly of impassioned, high energy deliveries (which really isn't what Awol One's is known/appreciated for), so this comment of yours is probably the most curious comparison I've received since Spin called me a "certified microphone doctor." Neither of which make even the slightest bit of sense to me. hahaa. Respeck.

uh yeah i can tell

[christian from austin]

nah but really, just that sing songy whiny tone is what reminded me. i am finished derailing this thread though.
best of luck you righteous impassioned walking piece of seitan

[Xaula Zany]

Thanks! I still have no idea what you're talking about, but I'll just go on believing that all of this is what makes me a super duper unique snowflake of righteousness which (I can only hope) will eventually be sold at Whole Foods for $5.99 per pound.
