about
Pan Amsterdam gave us "The Pocket Watch". Even when revealing his condition and true identity to the public. This didn't stop the flow of interest and respect from new found fans as well as fellow contemporaries. Open Mike Eagle became an immediate fan and patron of Pan Am and took him on tour last Fall. They even cut a single together entitled, "No Snare".
One of the stops during the tour was Texas. Pan Am and Iggy Pop agreed to meet up and cut a track. "The one thing that comes to mind when travelling through Texas is its Texas Tea (oil)" Pan Am said while on break in the studio. "There's a lot of ways of living that rendezvous at the local gas station". It was as if Pan Am grew up with this knowledge since the cradle or something. This undoubtedly is the thought process behind the tune Iggy and Pan Am cut, " Mobile".
!5 Seconds shows out Madison Washington's Malik Ameer Crumpler in his producer boots. Usually known as the rapper for MadWash, 15 Seconds was made by Malik for Pan Am. Leron Thomas adding the horn line at the end of the track.
lyrics
"Fifteen Seconds"
Yo, A1 sauce when you keep makin' mistakes,
With an audacity to keep goals, better than Gordon Banks
Copped a mendacity from being naked, swimmin' in shark tanks,
Call it tenacity but we all know, somethin' stank an it ain't dank.
Erotic smells in white paint,
You can take it but I can't
You can fake it shootin' blanks,
I'm a pirate walkin' planks
Learnin' lessons countin' blessins skip this ad in fifteen seconds
(sample)
A jaded fitting model that's had her day,
Now walks around with Vitamin Water bottles filled with Chardonnay
And it ain't even midday,
Modern Day Ofay
My heart got caught by default so you'll think it's the other way,
Your so vain I bet you think this song is about you don't you
Blueprint blue don't look good on you, Steely Dan i ain't a fan
let the Haitian divorce run its course, Yeah man
Tricks don't have treats, Malik be on beats,
Sew that up, with a side order of Pig's feet
Grow that butt, with a tripe order of chitlins meat
She grow up, with a disorder cosmetic freak
Butt shots on Dominican women meanwhile husband's cheatin'
Pasteles con leche so she knows he's been creepin'
Learnin' lessons countin blessins skip this ad in fifteen seconds
(sample)
Givin' me fake apologies
fideen
Try to teach me astrology
fideen
Playin me without strategy
fideen
Try to drown me with flatteries owp
fideen
Covet accessories
fideen
Trying to be my everything yup
fideen
Your way is the only way
fideen
Big Six over Six Tre
fideen
In the rain without a raincoat,
cause the date cost me a house note
It's a pain gotta stay woke,
Does it mean I gotta stay broke
More Soulful than a grace note,
Roy Hargrove's my scapegoat
I abhor what you did to my mentor,
Robbin him like thugs in trench coats
If you call a spade,
Get ready for the ocean with a sailboat
And if you do behave,
Get ready for the tux on a steamboat
I'm Pai Mei and I'm off,
Gilding over the stage like Baryshnikov
Bjork,
Sawed Off

Leron Thomas - Trumpet
When Pan Amsterdam washed up on the coast, he was wearing an oversized black velvet jacket with a cigarette burn, black
jeans and two different coloured church socks. Further along the coast we found a trumpet case WITH a trumpet inside of it, in the case's side zipper there was a mouthpiece, valve oil for the horn, and a drive with tape on. Written on the tape were the words, "Elevator Music"....more
Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham
