i forgot to give credit where credit might be due. the first lines are paying homage to a song which has played a strange pseudo-jungian role in the lives of myself and several people ive met "big rock candy mountain", a song about a hobo paradise. anyways, harry mcclintock usually gets wroting credits,but the song is almost surely traditional by way of origin.

I like te cigarette trees and I'll stp the world nice finish great tune. I just feel like It's a big enough umbrella...

@nancychatmanbafhf: what a weird fucking profile picture

wrote this pretty quickly a couple days ago. I regret not making it a bit longer. Oh well.

[lyrics: 
verse 1: oh the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees/and the lemonade springs all filled with disease/all the houses and cars, the prescriptions and lard/all the jewels and the rings and the four credit cars/all these sick pervy fucks who live luxurious/ they dont deserve to live or share our air with us/everything that i see on the useless t.v. makes me nauseous and totally pissed off///chorus: like tetsuo in neo-tokyo i'm gonna blow up/bring us back to a time that jaqcues ellul would have been proud of - and deconstruct///verse 2: all the banks and the liars that they call media/all the poison they call food and force feed to us/all the police, military, aclu, all the wal-marts and taco bells too/i will tear down the walls/i will chop off their balls/ill make wine from their spine/drink the wine from their skulls/ill set fire to the liars and berate all the haters/and wait for the sun to come up///chorus (repeat first chorus)]

*First lines are in homage to "big rock candy mountain", presumably by harry mcclintock
*Last line is from the MODERN ENGLISH song "melt with you", which i thought the guitar sounded a lot like lol.


KOALAPOCALYPSE?! (a.k.a. just like Akira) by k0aLa?! (and the K-Holes)

(***New videos up on youtube. The page for my americana/roots side project Koala?! and the Exploding Meth Lab can now be found at www.soundcloud.com/theexplodingmethlab
KOALA has been making d.i.y. bedroom outsider lo-fi anti folk punk since 2003, but due to mental illness and drug addiction he lost his focus and nothing ever came of it. After sobering up and regaining a degree of sanity, he began writing and recording again in the fall of 2015. 
K0ALA was raised in Los Angeles and grew up in the punk rock and hardcore scene, moving into indie and noise rock in his young adulthood. Influences are taken from punk and hardcore, from indie folk and indie rock, from noise rock, from outsider, from folk punk, from early americana-roots, from folk and country, from alt. country and antifolk, even from the lyricism of hip hop (i.e. wu tang clan, del the funky homosapien, asher roth, el-p).

KOALA has long aimed to cultivate the chaos and urgency in his own life and capture it in his songs (whether he has failed at this or not is up to you). Noise, fuzz, overdrive, feedback, off key vocals, detuned guitars, cheap recording equipment, and of course chain smoking cheap cigarettes all add up to make the fucking mess that is KOALA?!
