Hey there, fans of us! Gosh, it sure has been an incredibly long time since I updated this thing. That's because MJ and I have been busy with an extremely exciting, highly creative project: our very own album, Seven Songs about Not Stopping!
The album has more than seven songs and none of them are about not stopping, but that's ok, it's more of a "concept album" anyway. Here are the tracks:
Please don't
Did you just say...
Seaside ballad for the lost lobster
Wenn dein mutterlein tritt zu tur hinein (techno remix)
For Jackie, who had too many cookies
This song contains a thinly veiled reference to MARIJUANA
Interlude
I left my Chihuahua at the train depot
White Wedding (racially sensitive remix)
Did you just say.../yes,yes, I did
Got my Chihuahua back
MJ and I spent a lot of time editing this baby to make it the astonishingly original masterpiece that it is. I always like how on some of those beatles albums they control what comes through which speaker.. you know, you'll be listening and realize you only hear the banjo through the right speaker or whatever, and the buzzsaw through the left. So for this, I really wanted to take that to the next level and have all of it just coming through the left speaker, or the left ear if you're wearing headphones. So don't panic that your stereo equipment is broken when you're listening to it, ok?
MJ and I recorded all the instrumental tracks ourselves, which was difficult, to say the least. Fortunately we both play oboe, so towards the end you might notice that most of the songs are just oboe duets with the occasional interuption of people yelling/tripping over things in the background. However, this is kind of hard to notice if, like me, you only listen to music when you're driving on the highway with the windows down all the way.
For a sample of our work, go to this website! If you want more you're going to have to contact us directly, though:
We are so excited to start taking this on tour to the most pathetic coffeehouses around the country! We've already used my late aunt's money to build a tour bus that runs on fumes from burning paper, and done some mildly offensive spray-painting in my neighborhood, which MJ tells me is prerequisite for this kind of thing. Disestablishmentarianism, I guess. Ooh, I should have spray-painted that! Man. Oh well, what's done is done. I did some pretty cool stuff though... I tried to spray-paint a guy being guillotined, but I'm not really good at drawing so I think it just looks like a dinette set. Whatever.
Get listening! And hey, check in with us again soon. Now that the crazy summer of rebellion is over, we'll be updating this regularly again. :)
