about

Ken Badger: ‘This Day’, which developed into ‘Not Dead Yet’ on the In the Summer LP, tried to capture life on my street...Silverthorn Ave in Little Italy. Dead time/stop time...go to sleep & you might wake up...life in slo mo.

lyrics

This Day

On the porches they were watching
In the street a cat and a car
TV noises float around in the air

They approached the intersection
then they stopped and then they ran across and
nothing happened after that for a while

This day suspended in time
Late afternoon and the sun is shining.

On the porches they were vacant
watching dust settle all around all around
and each one of them thought of what she would wear
And it darker and it grew more light
and it’s gonna blot out a vacant light
and each one of them decided what she would wear

This night might be something unkind
But on my porch I don’t seem to mind

This night might be something unkind
But on my porch I don’t seem to mind

about

Dream Tower Records image

Dream Tower Records Toronto, Ontario

Vintage/current music by Toronto protopunk legends The Scenics & related projects.

“It wasn't so much that The Scenics were ahead of their time in 1977, it's more that almost everybody else didn't even know what time it was.
New York had Talking Heads, and England was blessed with XTC, but here was their equal in Toronto...”
Bob Mersereau, author "the Top 100 Canadian Albums" ... more
