Bottle 05:04
They say on the bottle You could win a million pizzas I was hangin out at the tarmac parking lot Wait, no, was it the hangar The coat hanger parking lot? My dog forgot. Why do people put milk in a baby bottle? Why can’t they use grape juice instead? Hey Dave, throw me some tacos. Hey Dave, throw me some tacos. Hey Dave, throw me some tacos. I wanna send a shout out to the bus stop. Jeremy fell in love and broke his knee. He said that cowboys are secretly Pop-tart fanatics. Calculator, calculator, yeah yeah yeah Calculator, calculator, yeah yeah yeah Calculator, calculator, yeah yeah yeah They say on the bottle You could win 400 tablecloths I was eating nachos At the Castle Wash parking lot No wait, I was at the zebra seminar I was a rap star late last month But hey now I work at the Pizza House I’m the guy that puts all that Green fuzzy stuff on all the tennis balls there. Air freshener Hotel grease fire Vending machine ketchup.

Blowdryer 02:26
All she wants is a business outfit Something she can wear to work Blowdry your hair on the 5th of December Chicken flavored crackers I’ve got a koozie, it keeps all the cans cold Cheeseburger Ham sandwich Why in the world are you puttin’ on that tire, man? Hey, quit pourin’ that beer out You can use it for a lot of things Such as to hold your hair back on a windy day

Why must you always have peanut butter breath? Why must you always have peanut butter breath? I stare into space, because the wall Is not triangular And there was a window on your porch

Casper was a friendly motorcycle, And I have an apartment. 26 pictures on the wall. Do you have a place where I can plug my breakfast in To let it charge up? I'm singin' a song about America! I'm singin' a song about guitars. I'm singin' a song about t-shirts. How many days are you taking a quiz? Will you light up That plastic cup? Putting a sticker on your automobile, Putting a sticker in your hat. Get that hamburger out of your hair! Get that hamburger out of your hair! Get that hamburger out of your hair! I'm running out of large books, And I'm running out of definitions for my homework, And I'm running out of sunglasses, And I'm running out of yearbooks. I'm just another doorbell Out on the street Buying slices of pizza for everyone that I meet. Oh no! What are you trying to say? Do you think this album is great? Or is it just gray? Or is it orange? Or is it like a video game That you play? Can you install this software? Guess what I bought last week? You’ll never guess, ha Unless you’ve heard this song before I bought a magician in an aerosol can! Just spray a little bit and you'll see what happens. You will calculate numbers just like that, And you will eat toast all day long. And you will play new games, About eating bagels. This is the part of the acoustic version of this song Where I just create some extra lyrics I would like to dedcicate it to the harmonica that I never play. Guess what? My wife just sneezed in the other room And just because I sang that she’s gonna chase after me with a broom Oh no, I better run, I better hide 16 piece beverage set On the border between Switzerland and China Photo album Convoluted story about fireplaces Was that good, or did it suck?

Files 03:28
Cheesecake Please take a nap I took a shower And I boxed it up You know I thought this song would be a bad idea Thought about it for a long time But you know what It’s really not It’s a bad, bad idea Tone bank selector Make a deposit in the tone bank My scanner is just waiting For something to be scanned on it There is a chatroom where they are arguing over the sun Chicken in a biscuit Keystone International is your ticket to free soda, yeah Yeah

This song is The Barn Did you run down the highway With lots of speed limit signs Did you open the door With the painting on it Why did you turn on the TV Where is the banjo mirror When you need to shave your toes Why why is there a shoestring in the grass Why don’t you use paper Remote control Cappuccino What did you do with the lightswitch Did you throw it in the trashcan Alpine business window Orange Nn 27 rrg zkks gkks Un il ukn zilrabah Don’t experience technical difficulties. It will take hours and hours to reach the jellying stage, and even worse, you risk destroying areas which consume beer and streetposts. The extra step of soaking the fruit overnight helps to tenderize the citrus mashed potato. And chop up the washcloth… with the… washcloth. Simmer the potatoes for five minutes. Cover and let stand for at least ten hours or overnight at warm room temperature. Measure the chocolate chips

about

This was a combination of the idea that I needed to follow up Cat Hospital with something substantial, maybe not a full album, but some of the ideas surrounding it, and maybe even a "rarities" collection. I still had a few ideas up my sleeve, and some went well while others didn't. I did not include some of the previous demo or one-off type stuff, so it ended up with a reprise and a reject, along with a few side songs. I did add one older song, simply because it is so darn silly and I couldn't get it out of my head. The photo is actually more recent, the original art is gone, so I decided to use a picture of Baby Blossum with giant headphones from 2007.

about

10,000 Lakes Texas

10,000 Lakes began in 1993, as a solo project using a Casio SA-7, a combination of acoustic and electric guitar, and completely random lyrics recorded onto a tape recorder. The style has mostly stayed the same, except for a change in keyboard to a CA-110, and pro mic's and a mixer. Chopstick shoes. My belt buckle rented someone else's cupcake remedy. ... more
