Good morning I’m Domino here at Slowtwitch Fm playing the music that gets you going in the morning. I wanna start at he show off with a specail letter from a Mr. Tibbs…
Dear Domino,
I have a friend named Tom D. He is a complex man with much passion. I have found a song that sums up a lot of what I see in him. It has a band and emotions and a little cold bloodness. Could you play it for him?"
Well Mr. Tibbs I would be happy play the song for you. The song is Get Me Away From Here I’m Dying by Belle and Sebastian.
This dedication is brought to you by Cervelo. If your LBS isn’t carrying Cervelo then you LBS sucks. Also being brought to you by Mr. Tibbs post. If it has to do with triathlon then it’s not a Mr. Tibbs post.
Get me away from here I’m dying
Ooh! Get me away from here I’m dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me
Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our catchy tunes, and us
Now we’re photogenic
You know, we don’t stand a chance
Oh, I’ll settle down with some old story
About a boy who’s just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You’re so naive!
After a while they always get it
They always reach a sorry end
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings
Oh, that wasn’t what I meant to say at all
From where I’m sitting, rain
Washing against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
“This is no declaration, I just thought I’d let you know goodbye”
Said the hero in the story
“It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words”
i don’t know if it has occurred to anybody, but mr. tibbs, you are not yet entirely cured. and for all our sakes as well as your own, i hope you never will be.
Tibbs, an appreciation of Belle & Sebastian displays a depth of musical wherewithal I’d (foolishly) never expected from a full-time triathlon team manager like yourself. Here’s a few recommendations for more music of this ilk you may enjoy - Herman Dune, Camera Obscura, Ball Boy.
Of course I take request. I am a man of the people.
While I admire your slightly off-kilter perspective, and can appreciate your well-placed love of Cervelo and Tom D., I will disagree with the Belle and Sebastian call. They’re just a little bit too…twee…for my liking.
Perhaps some Beta Band? Stereolab? Manu Chao?
While all bands you have listed are most kosher I will not stand for you and your doubts of Belle and Sebastian. Lets step outside and see what a little schooling will do for your you.
What’s next you gonna have a problem with Cat Power?
Ah, sir, I’ll plead ignorance on this. I don’t know Cat Power, though you can be sure I’ll be, ahem, sourcing their material online tonight.
I’m sure Belle and Sebastian appeal to many…I just like my music a little less on the precocious side.
Of course I take request. I am a man of the people.

I’d like to out in my request for John Tesch…preferably Day One from his tour deFrance album please.
“I’d like to out in my request for John Tesch…”
I would rather put my nuts in a vice and crank hard.

Given your current injury that might not be possible. You’ll need one hand to hold them in there. When the time comes please allow me to perform a random act of kindness and crank for you. It’s the least I could do.
