    FINALLY! The long-forgotten Lost ApoCowLypso album is polished up and here! Recorded in '87, aged to perfection in artisanal hickory wood barrels, and audiotweaked in 2022, these recordings capture the weird excitement of being one of seven people at an ApoCowLypso concert at a bar that closed down for good the following week. As always, all proceeds will go directly to the Richmond SPCA. These tracks have never been made available before, and soon you'll know why! Buy the album for a super special secret bonus live track, plus cool collectible posters for your locker or padded cell!
    Purchasable with gift card

When the Child-Stealer came to our house He really came in flames, and he covered the sky I was hiding in a cardboard castle But I listened as he took my little brother away So I searched every record store Where we used to hang around before The Child-Stealer came. On the bus with a leaky umbrella I thought I saw the Child-Stealer stealing a glance I'm hunting him, and he's following me Down to the borders of night where I saw my chance And the streets tell a different story Between mountains of responsibility The Child-Stealer came. We met in a family graveyard Where we'd come for years with our fears in the frost As he smiled and looked at his watch I knew in an instant that the battle was lost On the fields of a thousand nations Dinosaurs roll over the bones The Child-Stealer claims. (Paul Bloch, 1987ish)

Richmond flood, 1985 Two or three people did not survive P.B. Kelly's got swept away But they were going under anyway There's an office where I used to go They carve red roses out of balls of snow Service is better if you ask for Bruce Give them your heart, I'm sure they could put it to some use Use the bottle that I left upstairs You'll feel better if you use it up, ignore their stares I'll send for you in a week or two Barring a message care of you know who You shouldn't say things like that You shouldn't do things like that Someone might wonder if you're really where it's at (huh?) Don't act like you don't know me You hardly ever show me About the tab, I understand You can let it slide; I'm with the band Richmond flood, 1986 Twenty hardcore bands in Shockoe Slip Floodzone had to build a bigger stage Almost makes me glad I'm under age So I'm packing my bags and I'm moving on Seen too many dreams die in this squalid old town But if you find yourself needing a friend Don't hesitate to forget about me again.

Fearless Cathy, sing your sad song These are the days that will rip proud hearts apart These are the nights when you wake knowing something's gone wrong So very wrong Mistress Carrie, dressed in black Blow out the door when there's nothing left to talk about Blow me a kiss make me wonder if you're ever coming back But don't turn back (Not on my account) Some burning issue is lost in your memory Like a face in the crowd that you meet in your dreams Some holy grail is lost in America I feel it too, it's a dying world letting off steam What does it mean? Still in Richmond Waiting for my man Down on the streets I can hear the night's homicide My heart cries out but my mind just wants to understand. Reckless Eric, lost in the night Somebody calls out your name in an alleyway Alone at last in the past like a legend out of sight (Out of sight and out of mind) Brightly shining, out on the edge Peeping through like a voice on the telephone Misunderstanding, demanding you come in from the ledge What would you do if I did what we talked about? Where would you go if I gave you a map to your dreams? Two suicides throwing pride in the face of it Going down in the night in the pale moonbeams Two silent screams Still in Richmond Trembling with fear I'll send a postcard, a message in a bottleneck Waiting without, running out of time Wishing you were here.

"Hey," said Brooke one night at Alpina's after I played my weekly set, "Dika and me are putting together a band, three singers, three songwriters, would you be interested? And could you find us a drummer and a bass player?"
