    I found out recently that the bass was Ariel's first instrument - no wonder the basslines in all his songs have been incredible, even as far back as the songs from the Doldrums.

      60s underground Garage Rock has lots of awesome stuff. This is a good example of the surf rock inspired stuff, but there were also bands that had a lot heavier sound and were considered the beginning of punk rock and metal. But that stuff remianed underground until like '68. This song is more a '66 vibe.

    Thoughts are loud
    Bright Lit blue skies
    You're full of lies
    Lies

    Just like chalk
    Rub it across your mind
    Just like a clock
    2:45 and 8pm
