"i am dreaming of a life, and it's not the life that's mine. in a stolen car, i rocket west out past that Jersey line. and the robots in their riot gear glimmer in my rear view mirror. Love came like an axe and had her way with this coarse earth. And a rich deserving book, she was recovered and understood, and I awoke!"
"maybe someday we'll meet again, when our two roads hit the same dead end, and oh, im counting the days"
Released 27 (!) years ago & still one of the best #Indie #Alternative #Rock albums out there, both in terms of musical and lyrical achievement:
* Orange Rhyming Dictionary *, the debut album by #JetsToBrazil.

“When the measure of your work,
Is the measure of your worth,
Then you’d better make it work”.
I’m a sucker for getting meaning from songs but this line from Jets to Brazil 20 odd years ago still hits hard.
It amazing how much self worth, for me, comes from employment.

More love, yeah?

JETS TO BRAZIL
Orange Rhyming Dictionary
2017 2xLP U.S. reissue
Being that I was a lifelong obsessive Jawbreaker fan, my gravitation towards Jets To Brazil through osmosis felt very natural. However, the only Jets album I’m super passionate about is THIS one; the first.
I have such a storied history with this album, that I hold it in the same high regard as Jawbreaker’s Dear You.
