about

I want to go back, I don't want to be seen.
I want to have a choice. I want to white out. I get on the bus, and I feel their eyes all over me, pouring over me ,judging me. And then I have to think about it , and I don't want to have to think about it.

I don't want them to love me. I want to love me. So why bother? why acknowledge them?

I'll be alright..
As long as I wear long sleeves, and keep the calories low, i'll be alright.

"Be Stronger, Be Something More, No Excess, Discipline."

And so this is what it comes to.

lyrics

Alice James
Is not the same
As she was yesterday
a fresh cut on her face
and something’s been slashed right out of place

Alice James
woke up today
And fell through her bathroom doorway
she bit her lip and checked her weight
She’s at ten below 108

Do all men judge me
by how much they can love me?
Do all men think the same?
I wish I could carve off my body
it only gets in the way

I’m a slave to my body
my body slave to property
I just want to be seen as something
besides someone’s sexuality

Do all eyes judge me
by how much they want me
do all eyes see the same?
Do they see this starving body
The temple of my pain

about

Big Sur Glen Ellyn, Illinois

Continuing the tradition of the Mid-West underground, Big Sur blends infectious hooks with old time punk bravado and Iggy style acrobatics. Their whiplash performances are "blink and you'll miss it" explosions of temper tantrum pop songs, spitting out stun gun guitar riffs backed by pulsating rhythms that evoke an urgent sincerity that is sorely lacked in a scene dominated by hipster elitism. ... more
