Homestretch by Cavedwellers Shall we stay inside the lines Contradict conflicting times Disregard conundrums there Dance to our proprietary beat And shall we combine our time Syncopating every line Goodness knows we both have danced Lived and loved through each romance indeed Stopping incomplete Tu...

Cavedwellers have written a little love letter to the beats and freaks of an Italian neighborhood in the shadows of San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill, where poets, pranksters and pigeons left their mark over the years. Locations: Nepenthe (Restaurant in Big Sur) The Stinking Rose (touristy restaurant) ...

North Beach Vampires by Cavedwellers Swirling my glass at Nepenthe Waiting for Henry to show Got stories to tell from The City That I think he’d wanna know Jack is back from his travels And Allen is howling again And really, Neal and Jack and Me Are burning at both ends Before the rise of of The Sti...

Carte Blanche by Mandibles Too many men have held me in their arms Too many men have fought to win my charms Now mister man, I’ve found you here disarmed I’ll pick your brain, and eat your heart I’ve shaken your world Stirred your soul Call me old-fashioned I’ll swallow you whole I’ve got the carte ...

CARTE BLANCHE by Cavedwellers At the end of things There is time for one last drink You feel the sting Into reverie you sink It’s a fatal play At the end of days Speak, and death obeys The bitter end Justifies most any means You choose your friends We have chosen the enemies And when the moment come...

Rear Window By Mandibles feat. Ed Wang Never had that touch of intuition Never saw what anyone could see Never been in love without a mission To coronate the right nominee When I found out how you came up wanting Didn’t want to let my feelings show The thought of leaving you was daunting You cannot ...

Rear Window By Cavedwellers feat. Rachel Fairchild In my rear window where my mistakes go There’s a trail of broken hearts Sixteen: I grabbed my keys Seventeen: I was so ready to please Found a real sweet girl at the end of my street And I knew that I would never be beat But variety is the spice of ...

Better Than Everything by Mandibles (Recorded while staying home) In my hand I feel your fingers mingling Can’t understand Electricity tingling Couldn’t imagine a song That you and I could sing But now that we’re here It’s better than everything The upstairs room I can’t believe the tension My feeli...

Love in the Time of the Riot by Cavedwellers ...

Idiot Flesh- Teen Devil Worshiper

I haven't thought of that song for ages. The more references to west coast unsigned greats of the 90s, the better.

Mandibles - Color Me In (Bob Ross) “This is your world” Daylight fades Into blacks and grays And our colorful exchanges Yellow on the pages I’m unmade In a cloudy haze And I don’t paint my own nature With such nomenclature But if you just color me in This story can begin Any shade will do Any tint o...

Just so you know the other talented singer who is now contributing:

Mandibles
Shock Treatment credits:
Cybronica: Bass, Piano, Vocals
Estaphonia: Vocals
Truth: Guitar, Mandolin, Bass, Drums, Vocals
Zidong: Admirable Restraint

I was hoping that someone would do a Magma send up for the operatic vocal thing.

Thanks for the votes!

Yardley Social Scene - Ruthless Lately Sarcasm is fun, it’s true Till the barrel is turned on you She was angry at the world for no real cause Pulled no punch, overlooked no flaws Still, arrests are made for lesser crimes It’ll take your best face to be worth her time Seems the lights were low for a...

We are, at present, all reasonably local. But Zidong is soon going to grad school somewhere in deepest CT. And Cybronica isn’t committed to these parts.

Mandibles in with notes from the opiate crisis. Halftime beatboxing courtesy of Zidong and Cybronica, and some pitch shifting and delay.

Hazardous Waste By Mandibles You’ve picked your poison And I pick up after you Long gone are the toys And Friday afternoons You nod off in daylight I always fear the worst Even though you always said You’d put your family first We’re suspended by invisible thread And you’re waving around the knife B...

3:20 by Mandibles SOUNDSCAPE: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” (Rev 3:20) VERSE 1 - Here I am. I’m at your door. I see you the way you were before. Let me in. VERSE 2 - Welcome home! Co...

Mandibles’ song is based on the apocalyptic visions of John the Revalator. Cybronica created an ambient soundscape with her voice, singing Rev 3:20. Zidong and myself sang verses over the top. The coda features the voices of all three of us gathered around a mic.
