Somehow I totally missed this guy's whole thing until now.


LYRICS:

Internet Dream

"Man this internet's something else"

[Verse]

Cuttin' it close
Let the dishes turn green
Everyone chasin' their
Internet dream

Some like it hot
In a triple X funk
Winnin' the auction
Turnin' money to junk

Cappin' the flag
In a virtual dash
Skippin' your wedding
To play in a match

[Chorus]

Shut all the blinds
You mighta been seen
Sittin' alone
With your internet dream

Winning the race
For your digital fix
Living your life
With a clickity-click
(Repeat)

"So every day I swear
I'm gonna go to bed at like eleven.
And all of a sudden its 4AM . . .
And I was just watching Youtube and
reading Wikipedia for five hours.
It's like MAN . . . you ask me the
next day. I can't even remember
what I was doin. Crazy."

[Verse ]

[Chorus]

"I was talkin to my mom the other day
And she's like 'Oh,
My computer's been acting up again!'
So I'm thinkin she got a virus
or something . . .
And I'm like 'ok what's wrong?'
And she's like 'You know that bar that
you type the website in! It disappeared!
I can never remember how to get it back!'
I'm like 'ok Mom. We did this last week.'
I love my Mom and Dad. "

[Chorus X 2]




and then something happened with him and Dr.Pepper?

David Horvitz part zillion

Was anyone having David Horvitz withdrawl?
New levels David- ness HERE .
Thank you David.

this is pretty much it

So, I can't figure out how to embed it, but THIS VIDEO is documentation of a show that Car Clutch (my band with Ethan Swan) played on our tour a few weeks ago. I mention this because it is the same tour for which I posted all the tour posters a few weeks back and because it was pretty much a dream bill... and and and also this video was made by Joey, who made the dog video below and who's videos I am obsessed with. You can find this video and a really telling first-trip-since-moving-away-from-home documentation/autobiographical video on his BLOG .
Thank you Joey.
And thank you Ethan for finding his blog!

Full disclosure: As Aaron goes through Harmony's archive in Nashville, and Ed gets ready for his art show in Copenhagen, my other band with Ethan Swan, Car Clutch, is going on a westcoast tour starting this week and it is mostly with Rob Barber from High Places' other band, URXED. "Broken Dance Music"? "Bangers"? Ethan calls them dark bangers.
