   About The State Lottery
An 8 song LP is available from Salinas Records.

The record can be downloaded for free at If You Make It.

Pink Couch Session.

Out of the shaky womb of adolescence and into something else. You spend years acutely articulating your alienation and isolation, your righteous fear of the future, your undying refutation of realpolitik. Then you realize that you -that we all - really are alone, and life as you see it becomes something entirely different and deathly terrifying. The wolf is really there. It's that point when you acknowledge that all you have is what you make, what you work on, what you foster. It’s about being an adult and building community, because, well, that’s the only thing that’s going to keep you from succumbing to whatever it is that’s trying to kill you. And make no mistake, it’s the same thing that’s trying to kill us all.

The corn was a gift.




The summer squash, on the other hand, was a curse.

I guess the Red Wings aren't the Yankees of hockey. The Yankees are the Red Wings of baseball, though.

After going to sleep to your record pretty much every night at Casa Burke/Fid/Insult for the best part of a week, I am so happy to come home and do exactly the same thing every night. Manchester, New Jersey.. it's all the same - this record fucking rules hard.

ahhh it's so good to have those State Lottery songs on wax. I remember when I first heard the first three mp3s you posted up here, working a crappy office jobs looking through 60/80cheques an hour and hating it. Now I'm living in a 'city I'm not from' after travelling round europe. So much has changed but these songs haven't Looking forward to more stuff soon.
PS Just found the Pink COuch stuff and waiting for it to load!
