in which a mysterious band sings about a kawasaki

so, you've probably never heard of today's band, market. in fact, they're pretty hard to track down, even online (i only have my collection of songs thanks to a demo tape the husband got from one of their shows in the '90s), but friends, that doesn't mean you ought to ignore them - especially when they have a song as fabulous as kawasaki.

i think the best way to describe kawasaki is hypnotizing. its irresistable, seductive trip-hop beats (sounding like a cross between morcheeba and portishead) lull you into the song, leading you to dark clubs, hazy blue lights, warm nights and cold drinks.

he drove a kawasaki
that night, and he was timely
he drove, he pulled my head down
that night, until we came down

can i go, can i go, can i go now?

you know he wore versace
his name, it was iraqi
we met at planet sixteen
man, all they had was springsteen

can i go, can i go, can i go now?

he voted for pataki
and all we drank was sake
my my, you're fresh
so high, distress
can i go, can i go, can i go now?

he drove my kawasaki

and, because for some weirdass reason, some of my uploads won't actually play on the site (yet can still be downloaded), here's the video so you can hear the song if you want:
