Deep In the Motherboard 4/17/2016 - Seattle Outside, stuck on the outside Outside, demise is so cold. I need You. Inside, the strongman is hogtied. Inside, so fucked, but I crawl back to Your side. Inside, alone on the outside Inside, the bloodiest bride Outside, the blackest of night sky Outside, Your hand's within reach—and I’m Yours. I'm waiting for You. I'm burning alive in this fire until You come through. Out of my mind and I hate it I tried playing the way that You played it Salvation is close but I'm losing control You promised me, promised me, and I gave you my soul But I shouldn't have to wander these streets alone And I'm stone cold I'm waiting for you. I'm burning alive in this fire until You come through. I'm waiting for you. I'm burning a hole in my life until You come through. What I want doesn't want to exist What I need is the One I've missed The way that my mind turns, the way that it twists But the way that I need You is so hard to resist I'm waiting for You. I'm burning alive in this fire until you come through. I'm waiting for You. I'm waiting alone for You, Outside.

Any Other Way I don't really think there's any other way. Sticks and stones may break unknowns but innovators die young  If you wanna survive then fall in line 'cause an imitator holds their tongue  Oh won't you say something that tickles my brain and makes me laugh again and again  Oh won't you be someone who soothes my soul and lays me down to rest in the holy of whole  I don't really think there's any other way to make you hear  Open your eyes  Don't you care about anything  I don't really think there's any other way to make you see  Open your mind  Nothing hidden is holy  Goodbye so long  Oh you won't know 'til I'm long  Gone gone gone gone gone gone gone  I don't really think there's any other way to make you hear  Open your eyes don't you care about anything  I don't really think there's any other way to make you see  Open your mind nothing hidden is holy Any other way Any other way

We Will Not Be Denied White knuckles on the wheel Spinning wheels keep wheels spinning I seal the deal at the door Kandy knights inside  I wanna take you to the floor You dance like a superstar  Radiating who you are, Who you are, who you are I'm gonna let you devour me Let the music take it's toll While you swallow me whole We will not be denied We will not be denied With my belt sidewinding to the floor And your heels kicking high, you're so much lighter now We just couldn't take it any more I took you with me to the other side We will not be denied We will not be denied When the kandy fills my head  And your body's on my mind There is nothing in this world that will  Make me unkind There is no formula for bliss There's a recipe for this I'm your cook, take a look And now you're mine, all mine Ah ah ah baby oh oh oh yeah We will not be denied

Flesh And Bone Burn the liars Sound, hear that sound  On the battleground  From the blood red sky to the underground  Oh the bones that age and creak and ghosts that follow me  Blade, pretty blade  It's the one I made for the new crusade  Like a serenade of the edge that dives so deep  And ghosts that follow me  From the spark to the flame  From anonymous to fame  From the miracle of life to the threshold of shame  I'm falling and calling for you  Your words allure to bind and seize  So by the light of dawn I'll have you on your knees  Sound.  Hear that sound on the battleground  From the blood red sky to the underground  Oh the bones that age and creak and ghosts that follow me  Blade, pretty blade  It's the one I made For the new crusade  Like a serenade of the edge that dives so deep  And ghosts that follow me  Dance on a razor Give the lawless one a shout He settles each favour while he plans to cut you out And yet you praise his name While sheep sleep and graze If you try to take our liberties away We will take you down From the spark to the flame  From anonymous to fame  From the miracle of life to the threshold of shame  I'm calling and falling for you  Your words allure to bind and seize  So by the light of dawn I'll have you on your knees  From the thrown to the grave  From a king to a slave  From the mightiest mountain to the loneliest cave  I'm falling and calling for you  You broke one million hearts so easily  And by the break of dawn  I'll have you on your knees Have you on your knees I'll have you on your knees

Tombstone Soirée Soirée. The ol' tombstone soirée. There's a party at the disco. Ladies are free. There's a bash south in Brighton.  A posteriori. Could take the tube up to Stratford where everything's gray. Better than a funeral from the bad MDA. I think I'll shoot another whiskey. Won't let it go to waste. The flavour's a reminder that I drink it for the taste. But I know where I'm welcome night and day. Meet me in Holloway Roam to Holloway Go home to Holloway where the spectres play It's a graveyard party 'til the night turns to day I'd invite all my friends but they've all passed away I'm drinking with the spiders And dancing with the ghosts, ok? The ol' tombstone soirée. 50 thousands head stones What a wonderful reprieve The epitaph is wasted on those who only grieve I'm rollin' with the poets Ya know...the ones who are deceased I'm talking to myself cuz nobody hear speaks Meet me in Holloway Roam to Holloway Go home to Holloway where the spectres play It's a graveyard party 'til the night turns to day I'd invite all my friends but they've all passed away I'm drinking with the spiders And dancing with the ghosts, ok? The ol' tombstone soirée. It's a graveyard party 'til the night turns to day I'd invite all my friends but they've all passed away I'm drinking with the spiders And dancing with the ghosts, ok? The ol' tombstone soirée. It's a graveyard party 'til the night turns to day I'd invite all my friends but they've all passed away If a little bit of darkness is headed your way it's okay At the ol' tombstone soirée. The ol' tombstone soirée. The ol' tombstone soirée.

The Hit I put a hit out on you On Poet's Grove There's blood in St. Kilda The warm summer breeze whispers A lie in this Beaconsfield Grave, A Cowderoy Slave Caressing the blade as the albatross flies Andrew the constable Won't be held responsible For holding you down as he carves out your eyes A promise was made The oath was obeyed So we patiently wait for your delightful demise Won't you come my way? Now he's taking the train to the Southern Cross Station And leaving cold as blood dries Good lovers were cold-hearted killers No butchering complete without a knife I put a hit out on you Won't you come my way Searching phrases for names He will hide in plain sight Now he's taking his time exacting his ritual He's grinding the blade to prepare for the rite. I put a hit out on you Won't you come my way I put a hit out on you Until the cleansing is through I put a hit out on you And bid the sweetest adieu I put a hit out on you Won't you come my way

Things That Go Bang (False Flag Mix) [excepts from Ron Paul's speech to U.S. Congress on the passage of Bill 1867 ( Sections 1034, 1031 ) May 25, 2011] The fate of the American Republic is now sealed. The last nail is being driven into the coffin of the American Republic. Yet, Congress remains in total denial as our liberties are rapidly fading before our eyes. The process is propelled by unwarranted fear and ignorance as to the true meaning of liberty. It is driven by economic myths, fallacies and irrational good intentions. The rule of law is constantly rejected and authoritarian answers are offered as panaceas for all our problems.  Who would have ever thought that the current generation and Congress would stand idly by and watch such a rapid disintegration of the American Republic? Our Presidents can now, on their own:  Order assassinations, including American citizens,  Operate secret military tribunals,  Engage in torture,  Enforce indefinite imprisonments without due process,  Order searches and seizures without proper warrants, gutting the 4th Amendment ...  ...Our Presidents can now Wage war at will, treat all Americans as suspected terrorists at airports with TSA groping and nude x-raying,  and the Federal Reserve accommodates by codifying the funds needed and not paid for by taxation and borrowing, permitting runaway spending, endless debt, and special interest bail-outs.  The fate of the American Republic is now sealed. Congress is planning to massively increase the war power of the President. Congress, with bipartisan support, obsesses on how to expand the unconstitutional war power... the President already holds...  The current proposal would allow a President to pursue war any time, any place, for any reason, without Congressional approval...  Our Presidents can now, on their own:  Order assassinations, including American citizens,  Operate secret military tribunals,  Engage in torture,  Enforce indefinite imprisonments without due process,  Order searches and seizures without proper warrants, gutting the 4th Amendment ...  The fate of the American Republic is now sealed. Many believe this would even permit military activity against American suspects here at home. The 3 major reasons for our Constitutional Convention were to:  1. Guarantee free trade and travel among the states.  2. Make gold and silver legal tender and abolish paper money.  3. Strictly limit the Executive Branch’s authority to pursue war without Congressional approval.  But today:  1. Federal Reserve notes are legal tender, gold and silver are illegal.  2. The Interstate Commerce Clause is used to regulate all commerce at the expense of free trade among the states.  3. And now the final nail is placed in the coffin of Congressional responsibility for the war power, delivering this power completely to the President—a sharp and huge blow to the concept of our Republic.  In my view, it appears that the fate of the American Republic is now sealed—unless these recent trends are quickly reversed. The saddest part of this tragedy is that all these horrible changes are being done in the name of patriotism and protecting freedom. They are justified by good intentions while believing the sacrifice of liberty is required for our safety. Nothing could be further from the truth.  The fate of the American Republic is now sealed. Without this understanding our endless, unnamed, and undeclared wars will continue and our wonderful experiment with liberty will end.

Kontrollier Die Kontrollierenden Once you start to slip that they will catch you like a trusted friend. They'll tell you that you owe them your life, the life you can't defend. The time is drawing near, my dear. They told us, "Freedom for peace"! We let those bastards through our own front door And now we're on our knees. It's time to take this country back, and the time is now. Power to the people then, and power to us now The politicians come and go, But the people have a right know that time is running  Out for the kings who want control. Now let the blood flow. We keep our eyes on freedom You can’t hold us down We are a revolution on this holy ground We’ll take the leaders to the market square Replace their throne with the electric chair It's time to take this country back, and the time is now. Power to the people then, and power to us now The politicians come and go, But the people have a right know that time is running  Out for the kings who want control. The politicians come and go, But the people have a right know that time is running  Out for the kings who want control.

Belladonna Dream In days black as coal I have surely lost control  I need you now, cover me.  With mind full of gold and a silver tongue so cold  Don't let me down, just cover me.  Sing a song of autumn for me, love  Wrap your arms around me in the silent setting sun  Let the water drown us in its flood  I don't want to let you go  Because I know you'll slip away from me If I ever lose my way, Will I have the courage to say, "I need you now."  In winter's dream so deep Will I ever break this sleep  I need you now, don't let me down Sing a song of autumn for me, love  Wrap your arms around me in the silent setting sun  Let the water drown us in its flood  I don't want to let you go  Because I know you'll slip away from me You slip away from me Slip away from me Away from me, Belladonna dream

Calling. Can’t you hear me calling Give it back, why did you take it away Can’t you see I never wanted to be on my knees Now it hurts, it hurts when you feed it to me. Won’t you leave me, leave me confused if you please. All that you give, all that you glean Makes you kick, makes you suck, makes you scream Like a witch who grovels for gold Lusting power to give up her soul Calling. Can’t you hear me calling So it’s true, won’t you tell me how I should approve Won’t you trap me so I cannot move Can you force me to speak what you say Oh can you show me no truth I can prove Calling. Can’t you hear me calling

I wait at the station amidst the rush hour tide The sea of people float around me deep and wide I never saw you leaving I searched every concourse Memories are deceiving, especially yours You found completion in a feeling never felt You looped the belt around your neck and hung yourself Your soul was searching before your final choice You found completion, but you never found your voice D'aimer et d'être aimé Love and be loved

Fade Into Forever And the wine it tastes her The wine it rapes her The wine erases the memories of home The drink from the well releases All the curses and diseases All you’ve swallowed is fatal for sure And you won’t find a cure And the knife it teaches Fatal blade it preaches When the steel finds the grinding stone And finds a new home And the earth receives her And decay depletes her And the seasons fade into forever Forever alone All your fruits of labour Wouldn’t cleanse that favour Murderous guilt takes over your mind And darkens your soul So the bullet finds you From the guilt that blinds you And the darkness that covers your mind Has taken your soul And the earth receives you And decay depletes you And the seasons fade into forever Forever alone

about

For many decades now the Pacific Northwest has been a fresh source of innovative and boundary-pushing music, and since 2010 Seattle native and musical veteran, John Morgan Reilly, has been continuing that tradition through RxGF with his eccentric brand of songwriting.

Any Other Way is the 3rd full-length release from Seattle band, RxGF, and it's been well worth their evolving efforts to arrive at an exciting new kind of sound that has set them off into an inspirational loop. Their recent dark wave indie electro exploration into the realm of all things shadowy and sublime is both futuristic and epic, precise yet serrated, current, and edgy.
 
RxGF is the preferred and truncated name that translates to "Radioactive X Girlfriend" (for those that may be inclined to go all CosPlay or goth on us). Primarily driven by producer and Seattle native, John Morgan Reilly, the band went live this year performing various shows in the Northwest with 20 year old vocalist, Angeline Schaaf. Reilly had been auditioning female lead vocalists for over a year before discovering Schaaf, and her brooding melodies certainly accelerate and embody Reilly's evolving vision.

Schaaf's voice is an authentic yet almost imperious assault on everything an audience might take for granted producing raw, saturated, and passionate vocal stabs that somehow gracefully cascade around the band's heavy low-end keyboards and primal rhythms. Any Other Way is Schaaf's first full-length record with the band, having released a Single (Belladonna Dream) with RxGF in 2013.

The record was approached from an electro-industrial vantage point, yet prominently incorporates live drums with heavy tribal aggression. Reilly maintains that he's finally found the sound that RxGF will explore for quite some time. The 13 song record is an ominous group of anthems that blend together crushing drums and vocals fortified with layered electronics and beats. Much of the enthusiastic "whoa who is this??!" response to their live sound has validated what Schaaf and Reilly believed when they first began working together in early 2013, and sonically their inauspicious and futuristic songs could naturally be an Orwellian soundtrack to a Blade Runner remake or just a series of stand-alone cult classics. 

Like the first two RxGF albums, Reilly teamed up again with producer and fellow multi-instrumentalist, Jonathan Plum, on many of the songs, but this time Reilly handled the engineering, production, and mixing for over half of the record on his own. 

When asked to describe their new record, Reilly mused, "Imagine the Superstar Destroyer, a monolithic and dirty old space ship several kilometers long lumbering through space at light speed. That's the feel and the sound of many of these new songs. You have these dark electronic layers with huge drums and dirtied-up vocals. Nothing is clean. The circuitry still works but the protective coating has melted...the wiring is a bit charred up everywhere and that's by design. The closest to commercial mainstream we get could be likened to Princess Leia and Han Solo operating the Millennium Falcon. It may not be cosmetically perfect, but it will hit light speed in hyper drive operated by two like-minded pilots with very different artistic backgrounds. I'm proud that this record won't be too familiar of a sound to anything that's out there right now, and hopefully it will stretch the listener's imagination and give them some insight into what's possible when you blend together diametrically opposing sounds and ideas. I believe that what we're doing here is innovative, and I'm excited to continue our deep space exploration with this sound."

RxGF's sound has evolved dramatically since the guitar-heavy indie debut of 2011's Art of Splitting, fully transitioning in 2012 to electro-folk with All Blade No Handle, and now to a new kind of electro drum-heavy dark wave that would now be unrecognizable as the same band. Past RxGF lineups have included supporting musical contributions by prolific co-producer Jonathan Plum, Dave Rosser (Twilight Singers, Afghan Whigs), Davey Brozowski (Catheters, Tall Birds, Black Whales), Josh Greenberg (The Ruby Doe), Jessika Kitzman (Seeing Blind), Matthew Burgess, Bill Ibsen (Remission), Philana Goodrich, and even New Zealand pop star Daniel Bedingfield.
