John - Eternal Light of the Word

A challenge was laid down by Josie the Redheaded Libertarian (unwittingly)

Which I took up and I think, handled pretty well.
Therefore the result is dedicated to her.

Lyrics:

While my person was out adulting
And my furbaby was trying to snuggle
I went and did a thing, resulting
In greatly enhancing her static cling
Much better than the implement I was thinking of buying
Or rather the benefit that it would bring
The situation overall is rather trying 
But really I'm not crying you're crying
i'm just gonna leave this here, then

Some twink at the party said hold my beer
And having consumed it then taking a piss
He rather cavalierly pointed and said: THIS

So that happened... 

I was listening awhile to this arrogant turd
Inwardly wondering if countergrift was a word 
And never once in that time did he manage to swerve
From the criticism he himself deserved

And as he finished relating his story
He said, insouciantly not to worry
It's basically a sorry-not-sorry
This suddenly elicited all of the feels
Plainly indicating that the struggle is real

Welcome To The Struggle

no one

Something I picked up from 2 different Twitter conversations.  The original MIDI of the synthesizer performance is a shambles, Mixcraft then later being used to heavily stretch almost every single section to distort its length to the same as the vocals for each.

The lyrics of this has trouble toward the end and I think it's already a prime candidate not too far in the future for an (Extended) where i fix stuff.
And I'm seeing that on the same night as the release but I really badly wanted to get the initial process over with.

三日坊主  / mikka bouzu / Three-Day Priest

Based on some odd Twitter/X convo around Craigslist being used as a dating app back when apparently that was more common.

Lyrics:

Surveying torpidness is really not my drip
But someone mentioned a craigslist relationship

I don't really go for all that guff
About electric meat robot stuff

But i really found myself failing to miss
The probable exploit vector in this

I came for promised pigs in space
And was wrecked by the tale's sordidness
His shoes had a ragged untied lace
And his NASA shirt had nacho stains
The lady fed him a snickers bar
And complimented him on his gains
It's like the pair invented gorgeporn as a word
Without any particular subtletly
By traversing the seas of gluttony
At least the best that they could afford
Though the story edges on implausibility
Don't judge me for trying to find a woman that gets me

Be Attitude For Gains!

This one needed a lot of post mastering similar to how I would have done an Alpha Remaster, maybe that is on my brain now that I have been doing a bunch of those but the composition also lent it to this method.

lyrics:

With considerable trepidation
The student approached his instructor
Having scurried the stairs like a Josephoartigasia
And negotiated past the flunkies who loured over the colonnasia
During her appointed question hour

With an imagination that is descriptively fertile
There is no denying that
A crab walking right in front of a snapping turtle
Is like taking a bath in gravy and dancing in front of a lion

She asked if he was trying to mock her 
Having been queried as to whether she was really a doctor
And she fulsomely responded:
I am whatever floats your boats
In the grand tradition of Goebbels and Titus Oates

Before he could further lead her astray
She then went on to say:

As a brief digression, My learned studies gave me the impression that 
The bourgeoise will not educate you about your own oppression
For having deteriorated to calling me names
As an adjunct to these fun little games
You must uncritically accept my hyperemotional claims 
to self-victimhood as fact
You can pander about the superiority of self-reliance
But to question me is violence
So approach me with more tact

Slowly then he began 
By noting that underneath her table
Were a miserable little pile of sticky labels
A vicious impulse rose in him then to tease
He decided to riposte by saying well aren't these
The political pundit's definition of what is a man

He then went on to declaim
Regarding this spat about power dynamics you won't recognize
That no two umwelts are the same
The past is always changing but few realize

At the risk of sounding prophetic
He said well let's stop pretending
That it could be species ending
The droves of billions out there 
With binary sex adult woman fetish
Might just find a new aesthetic

Erudite Rodent

One of my more experimental vocal pieces.
Which is saying something!
A cardinal example of the idea that at least other artists on Soundcloud will understand what the -attempt- was, but not necessarily everybody :)

lyrics:

A deer sent a dream to a seal one night
And as if to assuage his fright, he said
My watery friend
Are you too brushed with the pattern of the dappled light
Or are you something else instead

For the nonce
I discovered my entire personality is a trauma response

I can be stupid sometimes
But i kind of have to work at it
It's usually done as a courtesy
At the risk of committing apostasy though
It isn't really lost on me
That I'm watching a macabre monstrosity grow
And that's about the long and short of it

As the tanks rolled into Gdansk
The smugness had gone sour
Like a pigeon riding a surfboard
But the well to do at this late hour
Left this grisly scene ignored

Having settled for a meal at the Spur-Rowel
Was my portly dinner acquaintance
With deportment bordering on the crass
He sported a brightly colored towel
And had an aptitude for silent vowels
Giving directions with a bit of sass
To some caterer's rising star
Manoeuvre them hors d'oeuvres, lass
And you'll go far

He rapidly chattered on at me oblivious of any regrets
With lexical agility like a horse capable of winning the Preakness
Any religion that is famous for death threats
Is a reflection of its logical weakness

He wore these strange kneehighs and his articulation had a certain varnish
As we were playing backgammon
You cannot serve God and Mammon
Leastwise not with the same garnish
We would not wish in the least to tarnish
Our reputation for epicurean varnish 

Having expounded between the tangent and the tractory
He wound down his pithy orations
And concluded by describing
The nearby stink rising from the burning of olfactory ethics dissertations

We'd better get out of here and hide
The Butter-Side Down Kingdom is doing a genocide
We're in for a rather bumpy ride
It's time for prestidigitations

Gargantuan Gentry and the Gneisenau Gavotte

Willy the Fly

let your beauty dazzle the sun, let your beauty shine

beginnings2012

dazzle the sun

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
