The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Potshot, "Change" from Pots and Shots (T.L.A.M.)
Skammentary: Potshot hailed from the Land of the Rising Sun, & sang their songs in a mixture of Japanese & "Engrish," heavily Japanese-accented English. That plus the extreme speed of their songs make deciphering their lyrics a dicey proposition. "Change" was selection in part, though only a small part, because of the relative clarity of its lyrics. A few snippets:
"Wish I could say 'Good-bye' to myself…
"I want to change my cell phone…
"Still dance with a girl I love…"
Potshot's music is wicked enjoyable, even if it is indecipherable. Driving rhythm & blaring horns speak across language barriers.
