    "When we complain about music, what we are really complaining about is other people." - Kelefa Sanneh

    ...

    "Sometimes, it can feel like we don’t have enough time or space for ourselves. We work hard, mind our health, our relationships, our activities, our beloved games of Checkers and Monopoly and Twister and what have you. But at day’s end, that’s it, buddy! One day blurs to the next, which blurs to the next, which blurs to…you get the damn point. Good lord, it just keeps going. We’re tired, our energy is out. And then…kaput! The great beyond. What we need to do to survive takes precedence over the unflawed ideal that we wish to be.

    And that’s where this Record comes in.

    The Record gives you the power to chart your own, special path to wellness. It is not designed for the performer. For who cares of the performer? The performer is simply a mass of ego, dysfunction, and nerves. Irrelevant to your life. This is for you, the wise and gentle listener. May it guide you to be a better person, the kind who gets knocked down and springs back up, as in that song by that old band who were secretly anarchists or something like that. The kind who, when insulted by an intimate, never blows his top, all red-faced and screamy, but rather regroups and very calmly says, “You have a point about my awful personal failings. I will now go work on them.”

    This Record is for you."

    -Jay Ruttenberg

lyrics

Today you’re coming home
I wanna check your phone
You’ve been gone for so long
I wanna check ur phone
Will it be the first day or the last day? Oh, oh
Will it be the first day or the last day when you are home?
In bed and you just sleep the whole night through but tonight my head is bedhead
Not the kind with messy hair just the kind of place with a ceiling and stare
Will it be the first day or the last day?
Will it be the last day or today cause you’re home
And you’ve been so far for so long
I wanna check your phone
It’s on my to-do list
It could ruin us but I’m grazing
I’ve been ruined since the settled snow so easily fallen
To mitigate the greenest jealousy
I know that when it’s time to sleep
Alone
I’m gonna check that phone

about

Young Man in a Hurry Chicago, Illinois

Young Man in a Hurry reimagines the lo-fi sounds of their 80s and 90s youth, immersing listeners in a postmodern millennial séance.

If you’ve made it this far: YMIAH is a rotating cast of middle-aged people playing indie rock in Chicago. Their story is nothing special, but if you take time to listen, they’re actually pretty good.
