THREE 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.

Example 1: Rebels of the Thoughtworld

Disney sucks; will go again.

Example 2: Ride the Nightmares

Still can't stay away from those week-old burritos. Or those derelicts.

Example 3: Armageddon Yet?

Eight fucking years later and still wondering...

[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.

Example 1: Evel Knievel III [ad-lib]

Until he tried his first bike jump and face-planted...then cried for his mom.

Example 2: Get the Fuck Away [ad-lib]

Some of us were social distancing before it was cool and hip.

Example 3: Long Gone [ad-lib]

So really, no kidding, quit asking already.

[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.

Example 1: A Drill is not a Telephone [instrumental]

I keep my viral aphasia away from you; you keep your visual agnosia away from me. Deal?

Example 2: Nature's Calling, Knocking, Stalking [instrumental]

As the great band BruHaHa once sang it: "nature is the world's great bathroom."
