Four Kinds of Songs
Normal Songs
Live recordings, usually on the first track of a 4-track, a cell phone, a beat-up tape player from the 80s, or, sometimes, an answering machine.
Still can't stay away from those week-old burritos. Or those derelicts.
[ad-lib]s
Songs recorded on/at the spur of the moment. Doctor Mocker just picks up the guitar and sings and it is what it is. "Works" about five ninths of the time.
Until he tried his first bike jump and face-planted...then cried for his mom.
[instrumental]s
Typically recorded on an old Fostex 4-track, these usually have multiple (4) tracks layered to exquisite imperfection. And no lyrics. Yet still, somehow, explicit.
I keep my viral aphasia away from you; you keep your visual agnosia away from me. Deal?
As the great band BruHaHa once sang it: "nature is the world's great bathroom."
[acappella]s
Just Doc's voice. No guitar. Sometimes he bangs on things when he screams. Sometimes, he just screams at the void. We're the void!.
He really isn't, but sometimes he pretends he is, Y'know, just to be an asshole.
A song for all of the Cardinals out there. I think that's elderly people who used to drink a lot that are still in AA...NOT the baseball team.
