Acting like a star?

Without burning up.

Apple rinds are good in a sack.

Dinosaurs have straws built in.

I’d like to do a little tune!
One day, I sat down
And thought about writing a letter
To the Department of Cheese.
My sack was getting empty,
I decided to ride my bike down to the train tracks
Where they were having a garage sale
That had just about everything in it.
Cheese, which I really needed,
A really bad looking floorboard,
72 million of those little coat hangers
That always stick together.
A Frisbee made out of metal.
A slam dunk contest video game.
A pigeon flew by and told me I had 67
days to file a claim, yeah!
Twinkie, twinkie!

Get a piece of paper right now.

One day, James Washcloth put his best foot forward,
Looked up, and sent a postcard to his aunt Louie.
What did ya burn a hole in my pocket for?
I know I couldn’t eat applesauce or invite Piper over
to play a game of Stop-Throwing-Cheerios-At-Me.
Spatula always wanted to know how to build a cow.
The answer is Perkins Rent-A-Gerbil.
Oh, sure, I always have a spare computer monitor.
Later that day James put on his coat.
He put on his coat and ran out the door, ran out the door.
I went to the zoo to zee zome animalzzz.
Vacuuming?
Charles, I caught you red-handed. Red-handed.
Hey, my hands ain’t red!
James packed up his tent and spelunked all the way to hockey practice.
Our solar system contains 12 vitamins and minerals we need to survive.

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
10,000 Lakes recommends:
The bassline background, thematic intro samples, and the silliness-with-a-straight-face lyrics and vocals make Forming a fantastic album. You'll quote lines from it like you would a comedy movie!

Lo-fi power pop and 100% rock n roll! If you thought rock n roll was dead take a listen to these guys. Both of their albums are amazing - they capture soul music and good times flawlessly.
