Lyrics:

One day like thousand other days.
Preparing luggage so to say.
Oh, could it possibly feel like a very first time?
I am loosing my mind.

Oh, I’m flying back on Saturday.
No matter what I’m on my way.
It’s been a while and I’m afraid to take an airplane.

I swallow Xanax pills and such.
It doesn’t bother me that much.
Mmh, what these meds do not solve is a lack of control over my stupid fears.

Oh, I’m flying back on Saturday.
No matter what I’m on my way.
It’s been a while and I’m afraid to take an airplane.

Lyrics:

One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure
Take it or leave it
You pull it out just to have a little spin of a record…

(…spin of a record) found in a trash bin
‘Cause nobody wants it
Yeah, nobody needs it

But let’s keep spinning vinyl round and round
Keep digging as you never know what you might find

Ho… Hey ho… Let the music in
Ho… Hey ho… Let it set the tone
Ho… Hey ho… Feel it in your bones
Ho… Hey ho… Let the fun begin
Ho… Hey ho… People of the earth
Ho… Hey ho… Let’s release the brakes
Ho… Hey ho… This is what it takes
Ho… Hey ho… To experience rebirth

It looks like a long lost uncontrollable feeling
Recycled emotion pulled out of a dusty pile of stuff

So, let’s keep spinning vinyl round and round
Keep digging as you never know what you might find

Ho… Hey ho… Let the music in
Ho… Hey ho… Let it set the tone
Ho… Hey ho… Feel it in your bones
Ho… Hey ho… Let the fun begin
Ho… Hey ho… People of the earth
Ho… Hey ho… Let’s release the brakes
Ho… Hey ho… This is what it takes
Ho… Hey ho… To experience rebirth

Belgian electronic musician, singer and songwriter known as Agar-Agar.

"… I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables. I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars…"
LCD Soundsystem – “Losing My Edge”

Why Agar-Agar?
Mainly because ‘Pig In Pain’ was already taken but also for other (less relevant) reasons. Is it cool enough? Who knows, but, for some reason, this name feels like the only right one he should be carrying!
 
Who is Agar-Agar?
“Agar-Agar” is a Belgian electro-analog solo act. His sound is mostly shaped by everyday life’s constraints such as eternal recording and rehearsal studio vagabondage, dealing with hard-to-deal-with drummers and a very pronounced gear acquisition syndrome. Driven by a thirst to create despite these limitations, Agar-Agar is usually relaying on his trusty old (and not so old) machines and instruments to produce something ‘not so electronic’ as some might think when presented with this kind of line-up. Not an easy shift! It took him years to gradually abandon the ‘power-trio’ approach and become more and more independent and self-sufficient. So truly: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
 
What does it sound like?
… like funky drum machines used by LCD Soundsystem
… like filthy synths played by MGMT
… like cowbells hit by The Rapture
… like slightly overdriven guitars stroked by The Strokes
… like no one else in spite of it all
