about

This is the "rarities" song. It is from a single length cassette tape of 60's/70s easy listening that I recorded over. There are other songs on it that will be featured on Rarespray, but this particular one was crazy enough to make the cut in 2000. The Barn was one that really stuck out because of the singing. Alpine Business Window is a song that lasts mere seconds. The idea behind it was to make a super-short song and put a whole bunch of anger into it. There's also a bonus track within the song. The first part was a recording of a classmate reading part of a Sports Illustrated ad about literacy - the portion she read from was a random smattering of letters formed into what looked like real words to someone who is illiterate. The rest of the bonus track is a recipe - I just took some of the ingredients and instructions, and switched out the real parts with a sort of mad-lib thing. Forget all this stuff, just chop up the washcloth.

lyrics

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

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

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
