(ALL SONGS BY ALICE RIPLEY)


I SHAPED AND SLAPPED MY THIGHS

BUGS TITTER,

SKITTERING JUST BENEATH THE SPONGY LAYER OF FLESH

STEP IN TIME

DON'T DISTURB THE COMPANY LINE

STATUS QUO TRACED ON A PAPER CUP


LEFT TO YOUR OWN DEVICES I'M AFRAID YOU'D FAIL

NO USE WONDERING ABOUT THE LET DOWN

HAIR FALLS FROM YOUR SHOULDERS,

CASCADING AND CAREFULLY BENT

BUT YOU HAVE NO DEFENSE

DO NOT BLAME YOUR PARENTS

GENERATIONS LOST IN SPACE

NEW JERSEY IS A NICE PLACE TO VACATE

EVERYWHERE IT IS REPLICATED

THE MOLDING OF MINDS

THE DECAY OF INTERESTING ARCHITECTURE


HIGHWAYS TANGLED OVERCOME WITH LONELY

STONY FACED AND DECREPIT

LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE

LOSERS GO BACK HOME AGAIN TO FIND SOMETHING

STYLIZED PHOTOS MARK YOUR ARRIVAL

OUR TOES LINED UP SIDE BY SIDE AS TWENTY PIGLETS

AS I STEER, THE WHEEL TURNS

NODDING OFF, I CROSS THE DOUBLE LINE


I KEEP TELLING YOU EVERYTHING'S FINE

THIS IS HOW I DEFINE IT ALL

RACING THROUGH TIME

RAGING

ALIGNED AND INTENT

IN FACT, AGAIN, BENT

EXPENDITURE OF ALL TENSION

RELEASE

A PRIEST LETS YOU DOWN IN THE END


BONSAI GIRL LITTLE TREE MEANT FOR ME


TOO BIG TO LIFT

TOO BIG TO MOVE

TOO BIG TO TAKE

TOO BIG TO

GROOVE ALONG ON A FAMILY OUTING


KEEP THE GIRL SMALL!

AS INFORMED PARENTS

WE DEFEND OUR RIGHT

TO UP HOLD A DECISION

DRASTIC ACTION HAD TO BE TAKEN

WE DON'T KNOW WHY WE WERE CURSED LIKE THIS - I MEAN BLESSED


HUNCH YOUR SHOULDERS

IN SURPRISE

THROW YOUR ARMS UP

GRIMACE

AVOID THE PRESS

SETTLE FOR LESS


DISABLED MINDS

LEAD TO DIVISION

HIS HANDS TO HIMSELF FOR NOW

AND MAKING LIGHT OF HIMSELF AND HIS GAFFE OF NATIONS

HE PASSED BY WITH A SMILE

BUT IN THE END

GEORGE IS CRAFTY

FOR TO RUB IS TO DENY

TO PAT IS TO CONTROL


THE MAN HAS NO SOUL

FEAR EATS IT

AND LEAVES A HOLE

GEORGE SAYS

YES - KEEP THE LITTLE GIRL WHOLE

SHE'S A BONSAI TREE

SHE RELIES SOLELY ON THE KINDNESS OF ME

PLACE YOUR DREAM ON A PILLOW

WITH PILLS AND POWDERS

DON'T LET IT GROW, THOUGH

PAT IT DOWN

KEEP CONTROL


YOU ARE NO GROWN UP


LOOK ABOUT YOU


CHANGES COMING

SAY GOODBYE

WE'RE THROUGH


HINDISGHT AWARDED

TO LEAD AND GATHER

THE FEW HUNKER DOWN

A BIT OF THE WAY


OUR MINDS PLAY TRICKS

SAYING

HERE COMES A BETTER DAY


IT'S LIKE GROUCHO DOWN HERE

HALF MAST AND CROUCHED

ARE WE GONNA LAST

LIKE YOU DREAMED?


SCREAMING YOUR NAME

ENLIST ME

A WHISPER


COME HITHER


YOU SEND ME

LEND ME A TWIST


WRIST, ARM AND HAND

FINGERS

TREMORS

STRUNG ALONG

LIKE STONES


WILL YOU BE MINE

FOREVER?


YOU MAKE ME THROW UP,

THAT MUCH IS GIVEN


FAR TOO EAGER,

MY LITTLE DOG AND PONY SHOW

BELIEVER

IN THE END, A MINOR LEAGUER


TO SCOFF AT YOUR CIRCUS

AND EAT SPINAL CRACKERS

FOR COUCHES AND SLACKERS

STACKED UP ON THE SIDEWALK

ONE LAST ELITIST

A PURIST,

GETS THE JIST


I'LL SEE YOU LATER

IN A JACKET

AND PANTS

Ripley's twisty ear candy features amazing female vocals and hook-filled melodies. It's crunchy slut pop from another planet.

I FEEL LIKE I'M SCREAMING

HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON, SARAH?


Smile!


(Why the all caps?)


WHO SPENDS 4500 SHELLS

ON A REFRIGERATOR FOR WINE?

AH, THE EASE OF SPENDING ONLINE

I'D LIKE TO SHAKE THAT HAND, IF I CAN


THE GAP IS WIDENING

PUNDITS VS. CRUSHED BENEATH MY THUMB

I LONG TO DISTRUST ADJECTIVES, LIKE HEMINGWAY

I LONG TO JUMP THE RIVER,

NOT THE SHARK

YOU CREATE A FEELING IN MY LIVER

OF REMEMBERING THAT DAY IN THE PARK -

I THINK IT WAS THE FOURTH OF JULY

TWISTED AROUND THE BRANCHES

OF A SYCAMORE BEHIND YOU

WAS A TUNE

IT CAUGHT MY EYE

IN THE LIGHT

I HEARD IT, TOO

FROM A DISTANT OPEN WINDOW

A LULLABY PIPED INTO MY EAR

NOT SOFT, NO -

BUT LOUD AND CLEAR


AND THE DOCTOR SAID -

A HAITIAN DIVORCE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION

DON'T WASTE A REGRET -

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE ENDING


YET I'M SCREAMING AND BARE


MAKING LIGHT OF HIS MAJOR GAFFE OF NATIONS


HE FANCIES HIMSELF TO BE

QUITE A COCKTAIL CHATTER

THE ART OF PODIUM POSING

PUNCHLINES

WORKING GESTURES

A TEAM OF FOOLS

NICE TIE -

WHAT'S A GOOD FIGHT?

ONLY HE AND GOD KNOWS WHAT'S RIGHT!

HE'S ABOVE APOLOGIES!

HIS CONSCIENCE IS SLEEPING SOUNDLY!

NOTHING IS WORTH LOSING FACE

NARROW EYES LIKE HEADLIGHTS ON A JEEP -


WE NEED DEAD TO HONOR

COMING HOME IN BOXES

DRAPED IN BLUE RED AND WHITE


IF YOU NEGLECT YOUR ART AND IGNORE YOUR SOUL

FEAR EATS IT AND LEAVES A HOLE


GET OUT

YOU LOSE

WE CHOOSE


WHAT DO YOU SUBSCRIBE TO?


HATRED?

EXEMPLARY BEHAVIOR?

GENERAL MALAISE?

FEAR?

THE UNDOING OF THE FABRIC OF LIVING?

YOU'VE ALL BUT SURROUNDED YOURSELF


GARBAGE NETS

MENTAL DISTURBANCES

DECAY

RUST

JUSTICE KNEW.

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU


INCORRECT SPELLING


IS A BLACK AND WHITE END MANIFESTATION

AN EPIDEMIC

STEMMING INTO OBLIVION

RESULTING FROM A LIFETIME ATTACHMENT

TO THE CULTIVATION OF FEAR -

AND A GENERAL LACK OF COMMITTMENT

TO THE FOLLOW THROUGH

   About RIPLEY
The band's influences - XTC, The Beatles and QUEEN - include eccentrics from rock's classic era, but RIPLEY's sound has a decidedly 21st century ring.

Songwriter/guitarist/lead singer Alice Ripley - a bona fide Broadway star - received Tony and Drama Desk nominations for her beloved performance in the cult hit SIDE SHOW.

In 2001, Sh-K-Boom records released her critically acclaimed "Everything's Fine" - a mix of pop,folk and jazz that showcased haunting lyrics in a song cycle of soft-core suburban hell.

With the newly sharpened edge of RIPLEY's latest offering, "Outtasite", the music rocks harder and cuts the figure of an attention-getter with a killer voice.

Rock solid drummer Shannon Ford has performed, recorded and toured with a starry list of artists, including Paul Simon, Danny Gatton and Bob Dylan.

Christopher Schelling is a new wave throwback whose keyboard styles range from "car alarm" to the ever-popular "Chopsticks".

RIPLEY. IT'S THE WHOLESOME SNACK HUNGRY EARS CRAVE.

Shoot, I tried to e-mail you, but can't at the moment, so posting here because I had to immediately say this:

OHHHH wow, I just found the Martha Graham letter! Beautiful and stunning. So much power in just those few lines. I can see why you've had it with you for a decade & a half. Thank Michael for me. You know I'm gonna write it down, and then write a 5,000 word essay about it, haha! Kidding! Maybe.

And I'll send it to you. Kidding! Maybe.

:P

I'll go find the Rilke "Letters to a Young Poet" passage that does it for me - my instinct tells me you know it already. Kinda funny to say, but it's quoted in "Sister Act II" - tho' it IS said to Lauren (Hill? From Fujis), so that makes sense. Rilke rox my sox.

Guys, go google: martha graham agnes demille. Then GO MAKE SOME ART!!! And, hey while you're at it, send it to me & I'll publish it on my website (if that fancies you). n2nfreak@gmail.com - I have a page reserved for contributions.

To me, anything is art; I think cooking is art; refusing to do art is a kind of activist art; and writing a long a** comment on Alice Ripley's page is art! (Well, Alice mayyy have another adjective for it, eh?)

Cheers!
Beth

I know Tom Kitt gets to hold the Outer Critics Circle Award, but a score's gotta be given voice to get it roaring laughing and crying off the page, so CONGRATS to you, too.
