Based on the due date, I'm guessing this will NOT be the "live fight" title, so some cover art will be required... yes, no?

And I've already come up with an oddly (for me) political lyric for this one... just depends on whether I can numb my facial neuralgia enough to do vocals...

Thanks,
Charles (KA)

My friends suggested greenpeace is restless. I also played around with an ex-vet returning home after being crippled and peace being restless after a lifetime on the lines. (i.e. enemies who hide behind smiles or a kind facade can be hard to deal with compared to enemies who are armed and you can see coming.) Sadly nothing gelled properly and as a non-military type I felt that emotions of the latter idea were just too easy to get wrong and that was a disservice for all the vets out there. So I think I am gonna sit out and get some other music done.

I got some... experimental stuff coming together. Hopefully I can polish it up before Tuesday.
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

I was working on something but it's not coming together, so probably nothing from me (not that this should surprise anyone).

^ Quite the contrary. I 'bout fell out of my chair. But before you get too proud of this cyber assault on my gravitational mishap, my chair has issues. The locky thingy that makes it not go all the way back, sometimes lets go right as I lean back, thus making me think I'm falling. This causes me to try to catch myself, but instead, the inertia of my quickly lifting legs and arm waves, causes me to actually start falling backwards. As I slowly start my backwards ceiling inspection, I make one last attempt not to die. With arms and legs flailing with no possible chance of correcting the predicament at hand, I hit the ground with the back of my head, legs proceed over me, I do an almost perfect reverse somersault, stand up erect on my feet with arms stretch wide, then smile and bow left, then right to the fans that aren't there.

The End.

Just as long as you're having fun, BLT :lol: I'd wind up putting my legs through a glass paned door if I did that, and that would be the least of my problems, heh.

I feel your pain, yo. I wanted to finish for this, a continuation of the Nur Ein stuff, but decided to save my energy (and frustrations) for the "live" title, for a long-belated (and probably not awaited) Primitive Screwheads entry, since we ain't gonna be there in person. :(

So uh... It was really hot today... and I can't record with the AC cranking... so I recorded this weeks entry in the nude. I hope it doesn't affect your opinion of the song in a negative way. :)

You can hear the AC running in mine. But I was naked anyway.

This might be my most terrible entry since The Truth About Aspartame.

You two have a polygamist third with boobs and a penis named "Just In Case"? Now that is some preemptive planning. :P
