Possum Dixon
Possum Dixon was an American rock band, which existed between 1989 and 1999. Fronted by singer-songwriter and bassist Rob Zabrecky, the group's neo-new wave pop and post punk style first appeared among a string of early independently released 7 inch singles and on their self-titled debut on Interscope Records in 1993. Zabrecky's lyrical content often described love lost and slacker life in Los Angeles.
History
Formed in 1989 by college and high school friends Zabrecky, Celso Chavez, and Bryan Kovacs (drums and percussion) the group took their name from a suspected murderer mentioned on television show America's Most Wanted. Initially performing as a trio, they mixed haphazard punk-folk compositions with store-front theatre to some measurable success, primarily performing at LA art/coffeehouses (Bebop Records & Fine Art, Jabberjaw, Pik-Me-Up). The following year, longtime friends and former schoolmates Robert O’Sullivan (guitar/organ/keyboards) and Rich Truel (drums) were enlisted and together a fuller musical range was explored. Chronicling their hometown's east side slacker life with a pop-rock sensibility, the band incorporated influences from the Talking Heads, Human Hands, Wall of Voodoo, Dream Syndicate and Camper Van Beethoven.

Star Maps
by: Possum DixonI'm crashing your planet like I did before
I throw my bags on your planet like I did before
Well I could give you my hands and my arms
I'm standing in the back of the room
With my feet on the ground
I'm gonna come around in a couple minutes
Until the meteor showers fall
I'm not the same anymore
so why do you blame me for it?
I'm not the same anymore
so why do you blame me for it?
Well is it a sign, a limit, a mark, a match?
I lay flat out on my back
but there's something holding me back
and it's holding me from holding you again
I'm holding, I'm holding, I'm holding
holding, holding, holding...
I'm not the same anymore
so why do you blame me for it?
I'm not the same anymore
so why do you blame me for it?
I'm not the same anymore
so why do you blame me for it?
I'm not the same anymore
so why do you blame me for it?
Ok, right here...
He's got her bags up on the planet's affairs
She's got her bags up on the planet's affairs
She's packed her bags up to the planet's affairs
She's got her bags up on the planet's affairs
She's gonna pick 'em up to throw 'em down
She picks me up and throws me down
She's gotta pick him up and throw him down
and around, and around, and around,
and around, and around, why?
I'm not the same anymore
so why do you blame me for it?
I'm not the same anymore
so why do you blame me for it?
I'm not the same anymore
so why do you blame me for it?
I'm not the same anymore
so why do you blame me for it?
