That feeling when you're sure the only way you'll advance is to do worse.

Lyrics:

What's your superpower
Hindsight
That's not going to help us
Yes, i see that now

In theory, there is no difference
between theory and practice,
but in practice there is.

Practicing utterances to exhaustion takes its toll
But failing upward is my laudable goal

I'd felt myself coming down with something viral
Making it harder to draw up full
Thanks for interrupting my little insecurity spiral
By showing me something awful

One useful tidbit of info
That will assist you on your journey today
Is that federal agents 
Are incapable of simulating
Regular taste in anime

They may be better 
Than the ones across the pond
But they aren't the best and brightest
By any appreciable measure
Their idea of a national treasure is
A hot skinny bottle blonde
In skimpy athleisure

I wasn't really at my best, you see
I had to steel myself 
For this ordeal mentally
But procrastination is a dish
That is best served eventually

She said as the light caught the glisten of her whip,
Everyone wants a little frisson in a relationship,
The marks will sting with a little peroxide buffering
Life isn't easy
But at least it's full of suffering

She proceeded to prate
It takes only one smart cow 
To open the latch of the gate
And I wondered if this was anecdotal
Judging just generally from how much she ate

She said i don't really mean to be a lout
Or any kind of major slouch
With a strange superstition
But a Psycho female acquaintance
Outwardly high maintenance 
Once hid a beige bra under my couch
I felt unsexy for weeks 
Until I moved the furniture 
And located the problem
This must be that intrasexual competition
I keep hearing about
What possesses these sort of freaks
She went on and listed some other crimes
And a day later her brother said 
The fuck is even mauve
And i said it's a decade in the before times

Let me tell you miss kinkybuns
Fate loves irony, but hates hypocrisy
The latest news in this our tottering democracy
Is apparently sacrifice 
On the altar of self-reliance
When the artificial meritocracy
Of Excel spreadsheets
Is propped up by men with guns
Protecting you from 
The natural meritocracy of extreme violence

My impatience had me about to scream
But let me tell you something, ace
She continued with a frown
Don't chase your dreams
Remember humans are persistence hunters
Follow your dreams at a sustainable pace
Until they get tired and lie down

I was reflecting 
As i was drinking
Not very good alcoholic swill
That my buddy lost his leg
Back at the battle of
Attraction to teenagers hill

I said before we kissed
Life is too short 
To waste time on grievance collecting
It's hardly what i would call self-respecting
If I got my knickers in a twist
Every time some retard 
Called some other retard a spaz
I'd be a retard myself
And certainly not accomplish much jazz

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.

Christiane Hommelsheim sings and plays on sound objects, Ralf Haarmann electronics and mandoline. With a central interest in loops, they create intertwined acoustic layers. Through the looper all sounds loose their corporality, they resolve within themselves, they appear and
disappear, they become soundfields, and soundshadows. Ocassionally a sentences might appear out of nowhere, and lingers unfinished in the space, like a piece of thought-furniture, that might develop within the ear of the listener before it retreats back out of focus. HAARMANNHOMMELSHEIM create poetics of absence, poetics of nothing.
