medina is the
county in which james grew up
it’s in ohio
medina line road
is in the town of wadsworth
out there on the edge
james lives in asheville
down in north carolina
up in the mountains
sometimes he's grouchy
his eyes turn red and glaring
ugly ugly teeth
he bangs the guitar
like he has no idea
how to play the thing

chad wishes to be
not like david hasselhoff
in so many ways
it's unfortunate
he just can't seem to help it
he will always be
one thing he's got though
over david hasselhoff
is playing the drums

Bird sings on spring wind
Frequencies nowhere now here
The sun has brought them
Rolling thunderstorm
Whistling wind rustles leaves
Sound of percussion
Strings sounding bell like
Sound out with great distinction
Nowhere welcomes us

Oh, avocado
you are so very yummy
you taste like cool green
I would like a tree
That would grow avocados
a-plenty for me.
And for my country,
I'd do it up like Christmas
With poop and with pee.

Dan really likes bass
The instrument and the fish
Trout can go to hell
Once, on the Simpsons
Blinky the fish had three eyes
So many fish links
To follow this theme
Mullet is a kind of fish
So is a rock fish

Now they are a band
They're real people with real hair
Come and see them rock
Next time there's a show
And they hope it will be soon
It'll be gay times
There is stuff online
Lyrics to read, recordings
Pics of their hotness

Listening room (album reviews)
Medina Line, James Moats (James Moats, 2004)
To be such a downbeat affair, Medina Line is surprisingly listenable. James Moats' mixture of electronic pop, downcast country and throwback grunge hooks adds up to a strangely compelling album, almost a distant cousin to artists like Beck, but with a stronger focus on disheartened lyrics. Medina Line marks Moats' return to the Asheville music scene after a disappearance of nearly two years following the demise of his previous band, ChunkStyle. He's an artist well worth keeping an eye on.
Best Track: "Dedication Street."
Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
