DG Bohos is the creature of two very talented prebucesent UK boys named Dylan and George. Dylan provides the bones of the band, writing lyrics and music. George provides the meat as lead singer and charismatic front man. DG Bohos isn't kid stuff; they're serious about the music, busking their craft to hone their sound. (I can't confirm this just yet, but I believe this is Dylan and George busking Knocking on Heaven's Door on the street...)
BG Bohos is (incredibly) unsigned and un-noticed on youtube. As far as I can gather, their only real web presence is their youtube video channel, which features the band's many of original tunes. Here is band info, purloined from DG Bohos' youtube.com channel:
We're two 12 year old boys from Steyning - where we started busking; than last summer we branched out to Brighton. We've played several gigs, performed at school events and private parties. Throw us in at the deep end... we're not fazed by anything!
My favorite DG Bohos tune is Land of the Trevors (LND). Here are some sample lyrics: I'm gonna tell you the truth now, And I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna give you some proof now, And tell you the reason why, Love is just another illusion, everything around me is just another confusion, Let me take you to the land of Trevors, with chocolate clouds and golden feathers, Now wouldn't that be clever?
Let's go steady!
Jacked these words from IMDb.com:
American rock star Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer) teams up with the lovely Hillary Flammond (Lucy Gutteridge) to escape capture by the East German High Command. They don't have long, as Rivers and Flammond must try to find her father, in order to stop him from creating the ultimate super weapon, known as 'the Polaris Mine'. A host of characters join them, including Déjà Vu (Jim Carter) and Chocolate Mousse (Eddie Tagoe) Written by Film_Fan
Are you lonesome tonight?
Is your kitchen a sight?
Is your wardrobe all run down and bare?
Is your lipstick all smeared?
Are your stockings not sheer?
Do they make your legs show all your hair?
Do the tears on your pillow roll down as you turn?
Do they short out your blanket
And make the sheets burn?
Is your heart filled with pain?
Will you come back again?
Shop at Macys and love me tonight.
I love this band! When you're done falling in love with them too, check out my other post with the live video performance of them performing "Bad Skin Day". Meow! And here's Bell X1's official Web presence...and the youtube.com video search results for them. You're welcome!
It was part of our experiment
Went you said go and I went
like a gooseberry on Noah's ark
I watched them file in two by two
And I set sail without you
And we were carried on the flood of your tears
Time pulls a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
Time pulled a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
Now I'm looking for dry land
As all this crying subsides
But I'm like Columbus in India
I'm a little all over the shop
Like those souvenirs from Knock
that come all the way from China
Time pulls a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
Time pulled a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
'Cos we'd be stuck in this place
For an age or two
I hope the wind changes
And the vacuum in space will draw me to you
I hope the wind changes
I'm not over you, can I get back under
where you kick it on the hill
your boy comes to see you
he's your Hollywood thrill
He's a Spanish fly
that bucks like a stallion
In the suits that you got him
he looks more Italian
You worry bout your tan when the weather's gettin' clammy
summer in the city and winters in Miami
You get so high on the high life pills
cruisin' and boozin' and rockin' on the horse size pills
You could even take more thrills
you could even take more spills
pills, thrills, chills and ills man, kills
and rockin' on the horse size
Butt's gettin' bigger
do you think he'll notice maybe?
that's ok, don't worry bout it baby!
Cause everybody knows he pumps you for your money
that's alright, don't worry bout it honey!
In your itsy bitsy teenie weenie riding up your butt bikini
keepin' on the heels cause you're saggin'
just a teenie bit more than the girls
he pretends he doesn't thrill, rubbin' on the lotion
and rockin' on the horse size pills
You could even take more thrills
you could even take more spills
pills, thrills, chills, and ills man, kills
And rockin' on the horse size
Sometimes you feel like Moses
that's when you're toasted
Yeah, kick it. Yo bitch
That's right, yeah
Rockin' on the horse size...

Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine
Your heart’s a mess
You won’t admit to it
It makes no sense
But I’m desperate to connect
And you, you can’t live like this
You have lost
(Too much love)
To fear, doubt and distrust
(It’s not enough)
You just threw away the key
(To your heart)
You don’t get burned
(’Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see…
Love ain’t fair
So there you are
My love
Your heart’s a mess
You won’t admit to it
It makes no sense
But I’m desperate to connect
And you, you can’t live like this
Love ain’t safe
You won’t get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don’t wanna waste my love
Let's go steady!
Well Portland Oregon and sloe gin fizz
If that ain't love then tell me what is
Well I lost my heart it didn't take no time
But that ain't all. I lost my mind in Oregon
In a booth in the corner with the lights down low
I was movin' in fast she was takin' it slow
Well I looked at him and caught him lookin' at me
I knew right then we were playin' free in Oregon
Next day we knew last night got drunk
But we loved enough for the both of us
In the morning when the night had sobered up
It was much too late for the both of us in Oregon
Well sloe gin fizz works might fast
When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass
Hey bartender before you close
Pour us one more drink and a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go [repeat]
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and she's taking almost all that I've got
but if you want, I'll try to love again
baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
but baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
You know that "hmmmm" feeling you have when you sense your romantic relationship is on the outs, but the other party won't admit to it yet? From indie darlings Matt Pond PA, this tune describes it perfectly. It also has one of the most eloquently crafted opening lines evah.
look out
there is danger even in the simple word hello
hiding in the reeds
you would not believe where darkness goes
discovery
is the warmth of eyes that leaves us lying in defeat
from the tallest trees
it’s still too hard to see
where darkness goes
tell me
tell me there’s going to be time left
tell me I’m stupid and I don’t have to worry
with the green eyes
the green that comes from reflection
the blankets that do so well to protect us
it’s made up
the requests have all been effected
with distortion and a hiss that’s not undetected
and the greenness
it comes from a window
or a picture or a movie I’ve never been into
flashlights
try to pull the color from the corners we don’t know
when light is not implied
there’s no way to decide
what’s right or wrong
tell me
tell me there’s time left
it’s not worth it
worth it to worry
the green eyes
the green from reflection
the blankets there to protect us
it’s been made up
the requests are effected
with distortion and hiss is undetected
and the greenness
comes from a window
or a movie I've never been into
and you go in
go cause you have to
with the lights dim
credits start rolling
the action though it’s before us
we look sideways and act like it’s boring tonight
Jacked from dustburry.com:
Big Daddy's original 1977 recording of "Hamster Love", with JoAnne Montana on lead vocal, was finally released after 23 years; Dr Demento's Dementia 2000! 30th-anniversary collection includes the song.
Do it in a casserole is doing it right.
When they're in season, they're pretty pleasin'.
Hamster sandwich, hamster and cheese.
Hamster sandwiches with mayoneeze,
are delicious, and so nutritious.
You can dice, you can slice and fillet them.
Cut off their heads and sauté them.
And into the oven you shove,
smells like hamster love.
Hamster curry, or pickled toes,
Australian hamster tails, any good chef knows
how to make them, or just shake and bake them.
For breakfast, for lunch or while dining,
as a snack munch their deep-fried fur lining.
Into your mouth with a shove,
tastes like hamster love.
For breakfast, for lunch or while dining,

La-la la la-la, la-la la la
Beautiful live performance from Muse singing one of my favorite Nina Simone tunes ... heaven.
Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Reeds drifting on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me..
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom in the trees
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me...
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace
When, the this day is done
And this old world
Is a new world
And a bold world
For me...
Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
yeah, freedom is mine
And you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me ...
