WHY AM I WRITING THIS PORTASTATIC BIO?
By Tom Scharpling
Why? Because in the bio for BRIGHT IDEAS, Portastatic’s amazing 2005 full-length, my name was mis-spelled. Here’s the offending passage:
“Portastatic first achieved delicacy in 1992, when Tom Sharpling, proprietor of the fanzine 18 Wheeler, persuaded McCaughan to release a 7” of the recordings he had been making for kicks in his kitchen.”
Sharpling? It’s S-C-H, guys. What happened?

9ths) but I can't quite place them

F#m E B
I guess I'm through with people
F#m E
I can just take less and less
B B/A
Point your fingers, make a steeple
B/G# B/F# E
I'll be your hymnal in your church of loneliness
B F#m E
The transition was so easy, no announcements or askin'
B B/A B/G#
My silence was golden, my silence was free
B/F# B
And all this talking is taxing me
E B
So let the sun set on this paper shade
E B
Let me get some sleep in this bed that I made
D#m E C#m
It this far, well I made it this far
E D#m
And I'll give all the lousy credit to anyone who wants it
D C#m
If they'd just let me lower the bar
E D#m F#m
lower the bar
E D#m F#m
E D#m F#m
E B
I guess I'm through with people
F#m E
I say let's call it a wash
B B/A B/G#
Clean like a pickup on Friday
B/F#
Stubborn like a pile of rocks
E B F#m
I don't have to care I couldn't like you less
E
And I don't have to care about that thin cotton dress
B B/A B/G#
I could put my drink down and walk away
F#m
It's a simple solution to a complicated maze
E
I just remembered that I'm through with people today
