Why not act like a buffoon and not take anything too seriously? What do I care? Here's some more silly songs that I'm going to record acappella. My idea of multitracking is recording shit on minidisk and play it through the amp while I twiddle with the squak boxes. It aint art. It aint a craft. It's a fucking little suburban boy with some lollipops and the new Hyper Ninja Snow Dog action figure. Y'know KIDS STUFFF.
COBRA PIT
Everything smells so wonderful
Is this a new bakery?
They have samples for everything!
I'm so glad I have somthing else to do
I can't wait to tell the girls at work
They've been DYING for a new eatery
You know, something with a little class
A little nook for the conquerors to do brunch
The decor is so like vintage European and shit
Ancient, polished, and ready for recycling
The staff is so knowledgable and rigid
Did god make this all just for me?
Wait, check out this marble walkway
I'm just bubbling over with options!
I hope it leads to more satisfaction
I hope it doesn't get too crowded
Is that sound the hiss of a one-of-a-kind bread machine?
Something handed down from a poor bakers family.
I would love to know their secret
I wanna stretch everything as far as I can.
I want to accumulate heaven
I want to make three or four happy
at the expense of a thousand
I want fear
I want grip
I want
WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO START PUTTING SMALLPOX IN BLANKETS AND GIVING THEM TO PEOPLE AGAIN?
There's nothing like Manifest Destiny to get the head a-rollin'
Get those trains on time
Put some schmucks in line
Idle hands and shit
You wanna run around in some loincloths?
You wanna paint yourself up like a tart?
Not on god's country, bubba
We've been chosen, don't you know!
See, we've got an inside line to the big guy
He's cool with "whatever it takes"
Gonna have some lepers roll around in a quilt
Make you injuns a little peace offering
Yeah, we'll bury the hatchet
Watch some ancient dances or whatever
Smoke some of that peace pipe
and then the gift exchange
It's just one more ugly step to utopia
Think of it as insurance
They're not even human anyway
Just one more group of savages
Just one more plot of land
And it will all be pleasant
I promise
SOUNDTRACK OF THE DAY
I dunno. Maybe some Carl Perkins. Someone stole my fucking Yma Sumac CD or I would rock that biz. Fuck it, I'll just eat like 5 or 7 Ibruprofen 600s and listen to some Karoli.

You know, now that I look at the site, maybe it's not approved; maybe it's run out of Lemonkid's basement... anyway, you can also download 4 or 5 absolutely approved we're-sure-this-time at killrockstars.com
I can't think of a more subtly disturbing album cover than Milk Man. "What is the Milk Man about?" indeed... I always knew that strawberry-banana was a disturbing flavor...
edit ps - Oops, scroll button shows that Aaron Russell runs that site, not (I guess) Lemonkid. My faves so far-- "The PickupBear," "Milk Man," "The Magnificent Bird Will Rise," "Dummy Discards a Heart." I do hear prog in there, plus GbV and a little Sleater-Kinney. It's a viscous mix.

Hey I wanted to say that I have been more than fucking lazy about getting you some music and I apologize for that. Today I am going to the UPS store and buying some packages and I will send out yer stuff tomorrow. I promise.
