2000s Show Recap
Hey guys, I'm currently having some down time after the huge Spine show from yesterday.
While I'm resting, here's a recap of our July 4th show based around songs from the 2000s.
But before we begin, here is a sort of key to explain certain things in the text below…
This means that I sang a song and no one else.
This means that Footi sang a song and no one else.
This means that I sang a song with Footi on backing vocals.
This means that Footi sang a song with me on backing vocals.
This means that I sang a song with Footi and Chao on backing vocals.
This means that Footi sang a song with me and Chao on backing vocals.
When “->” is shown right before a song’s name, it means that we went right into that song, with little to no banter.
Let's get started with the list of songs (including a few fun facts for some):
1. Los Angeles
Featured altered lyrics. Specifically, the pov was changed to the copycats mentioned in the song, for example, the new first chorus was...
We're a band
That's living in LA
But we never get to play
We're just working jobs all day
But our plan
Is to follow them around
As we go from town to town
We're copying their sound
If any song we played had a music video (like this one), it would be featured on a big screen behind us.
2. Experimental Film
3. Spine
4. -> Memo To Human Resources
5. The Mesopotamians
6. Bastard Wants To Hit Me
W/ me using a vocoder for my singing.
7. Working Undercover For The Man
8. Boss Of Me
9. Mink Car
10. Withered Hope
11. Employee Of The Month
12. Robot Parade
"GIVE ME AN M!"
"GIVE ME ANOTHER M!"
"GIVE ME ANOTHER M!"
"WHAT DOES THAT SPELL!?"
13. It's Kickin' In
14. Older
15. They Got Lost
Fast version was played.
For the 3rd verse, I sang "Marty said to Dan" and "so Danny rolled down the window".
16. T-Shirt
17. Careful What You Pack
18. -> Damn Good Times
19. Bee Of The Bird Of The Moth
20. The Cap'm
21. Man, It's So Loud In Here
The disco version from the album was played, with a backing track being used as well.
Also included Dribbal playing percussion with some digital device (kinda like TMBG's 2001 performance of this song on Late Night with Conan O'Brien).
22. I'm Impressed
23. Take Out The Trash
24. Thunderbird
25. I'm All You Can Think About
26. Cyclops Rock
(Encore)
27. Rest Awhile
28. Why Does The Sun Shine?
For the "nuclear reaction..." part, Footi just listed "estrogen" 4 times.
29. -> Why Does The Sun Really Shine?
30. On The Drag
This is my second time posting this, done to fit all of the songs in the tags.
Ok I give up… whose pervy account is this 😅
Mine, but of course!
When I joined Tumblr, I was only expecting to save the pr0n and cat pics that I liked. I didn't want others to link it with my normal online personality.
Then I found @dailyrothko , whose posts make me ecstatic each time. I wound up going to the Rothko compendium in Paris last year because I wanted to compare colors.
Recently I have subscribed to a lot of trans blogs that pretend to be Linux distros. These have been very eye-opening but also comforting. I'm too old and too comfy with my Johnson bar to come out of an egg. Nevertheless, I am glad to hear the minds of people that could have helped me three decades ago.
Oh, and I am not the hidden account of someone famous.
Thank you very much for your question!
Do any y'all get excited when you learn a regex trick?
A what?
Fuq yeah!
Gotta find a new place to hang out
'Cause I'm tired of living in Hell
By request, it’s the “Cyclops Rock” demo!
We've got one eye. Dig? This song is our tribute to fallen heroes Richard Nixon and Chucky. Check out the Dans kicking the solo. This is a preview of our next album, but available now for your MP3 pleasure.
It was sweet, like lead paint is sweet, but the after-effect left me paralyzed,
I just stare with my one glass eye, hoping you won't be back again.
There's a whole new generation, waiting to be wrecked by you.
