Notes
This is the "lucky" seventh batch of songs for Kim. It's actually more of the same mix of sloppy improvisation and pre-written cheese. Musically, this one's pretty dead.

Funny how I assumed a music company would be interested in this stuff. Or did I? Was I making fun of myself? I can't tell. What did I say at the end???

What "modern prophets"? Was this my idea of band name? Hmm...
Anyway, the lyrics are about the senselessness of political violence. It's funny/sad that the news is still full of this stuff 20 years later!
I later recorded a version of this with IPECAC. The lyrics were the same but the music was completely different.
Lyrics to "Coup d'Etat":

This was before I teamed up with Jon or any other Anchovies. So, I guess Kush and Lav brought their instruments over? Funny, I don't remember that at all; I thought we only played at their house. Amazing what 20 years can do to your memories!
Anyway, as for the song, well: yuck. This is a dud.

Daydreaming about having a big band at my disposal.

Another song about the dangers of radon. Fortunately, this one has lyrics (which sound improvised), and is quite funny in bits.
I think "Face" was our new band name. Hmm, I think I liked "Triplets" better.
Lyrics to "Living with Radon 2":
we practiced this one today but the only problem is i don't have the other guy here lav is the only one who came living with radon part 2 living with radon in my head in an hour i'll be dead a cancerous growth will be found no way to cut out that mound i'll be dying in the hospital room no way to foretell my doom just blood out my ears and out my nose internal bleeding, that's how it goes i wish that lav were here so much easier when he's around but he left because he had to fear where there's radon, where it could be found radon makes your brain itch, radon makes you... cough radon makes your brain itch ...cough radon makes your brain baa ... cough blaa ... cough it has its effects, it slurs your speech makes you unpleasant to be around and the problem is nobody knows just where radon can be found living with radon in my brain you can laugh if you want to but i don't think it's just a silly game i don't put on stunts like that i don't put on things like that it's not my nature to be so demented i'm just a radon victim living with radon in my brain hurt so much i can't even see my eyes fog up i can't even see the keyboard my ear stuff so up that i am shouting but i don't know it living with radon in my brain makes me so agitated that i can do mean things so please forgive me like this song is mean, no so clean it's so dirty, it's really not pretty like this song, it's mean, not real clean it's so dirty, not pretty oh we're face, hey and we're out to win the race, hey me and lav and kush are face and we're out to win, we'll win the race, hey we are face, hey and we're out to win the race, hey we are face, hey and we're out to win the race, hey hey hey hey hey living with radon in my brain come in we're living with radon in my brain come in we're living with radon in my brain i'm coming living, living, living with radon in my brain if you get around there you'll find that i'm staring in the distance and you'll see that my eyes are so red that you think they were bleeding and when you say something it seems like i cannot hear you and i turn away and walk into someone else and i bump my way down the hall not minding anyone at all i just make my way clumbsily to my locker and then i try to brush my hair but it's so that there's nothing there it's all been released it's all on the floor there's a trail of hair and blood leading to me there's a, there's a trail of hair and blood and it's leading to me, leading to me i'm living with radon in my brain it makes me feel so insane makes me go insane makes me go insane makes me go insane makes me go insane makes me go insane makes me go insane makes me go insane but i will survive i'll find some way to stay alive i'll push through this ugly incident i'll make it just another accident that i do not get affected by i just will be move by i'll get by so even though i feel so low even though i feel so low i'll get by, feel real high even though i feel so low i'll get by, i'll feel real high living with radon in my brain makes me go insane makes me go insane makes me go insane living with radon we're living with radon and we're living with radon oh we're living with radon living with radon living with radon living with radon living with radon living with, in my brain it eats your brain, it torments you it eats away at your tissue it eats your brain, torments you it eats away at your tissue it eats your brain, it torments you it eats away at your tissue it eats your brain it eats your brain it slurs your speech makes you smell like a peach it clogs your ears and your nose fogs your eyes, breaks your toes you're left as a cripple in an old wheelchair a cancerous growth appearing below your hair we're living with radon living with radon living with radon living with radon living with, living with radon in my brain, oh oh we're living with radon in my brain living with radon, living living with radon in my brain but i'll push through, i'll survive i'll find someway to stay alive but i'll push through, i'll survive i'll find someway to stay alive living with radon in my brain [scat] so tired

I was talking (and singing) about bad songs. The first line, about going "up", means that I was recording in the basement.
Lyrics to "Bad Ones Chatter":
all right, i will go up and empty the dishwasher and i shall abandon this until tomorrow but i know, that was awful, that was terrible, it was pitiful but here's something to thing about how bad were the bad ones on the first tapes they were supra pitifula, right? they were awful they weren't even good enough to be said in spanish they were sad they were like [scat] yeah, they were like that they were really nice and smarmy and they were just stupid that's right, ok, i'm getting loud people in the next house are banging on our windows saying "shut the kid up, shut the kid up" all right, so i must comply with their requests is that such a ??? see i can't even speak right that's because i've been living with radon in the brain makes me go insane makes me feel so blue don't you know what i'm talking about talking about talking about talking about talking about talking about talking about [scat] all right i seriously have to go, because honestly, i think there is something good on tv no, no, actually, the only problem is i have to go empty the dishwasher and also my voice is dead living with radon in my brain seriously though i must be going, all right i really did -- well, i can't honestly say that i enjoyed all that racket but i'm sure you will, and that's what counts, right? or is it the other way around? yeah, yeah, let me try this again i'm sure you didn't really enjoy the racket but i did, i did, yeah, that's what counts i think it goes the other away around i'm sure i didn't enjoy all that, you know, but you did, yeah, yeah, that's it

I spontaneously asked my Dad to be a guest musician. When he finally agreed, I immediately started making fun of his musical ability. Jeesh! What an annoying little brat I was! No wonder he didn't join me very often!
Dad and I split the keyboard duties. I like the dark groove, but too bad it's so short!
Lyrics to "Dad Split":
TRAV: dad, i need a guest musician please? one song please? ok you wanna do a song? DAD: are you ??? TRAV: no, i ??? so, can we do a song? DAD: like what? TRAV: i don't know but you wanna play trumpet DAD: no, i'm not good at that TRAV: you wanna play keyboard? DAD: yeah TRAV: this is dave emmitt and travis emmitt and dave on keyboard and travis on the bottom half of the keyboard 'cause dave can't do any better and travis also on trumpet 1 2 ready dad DAD: come on TRAV: what DAD: you've gotta get up and do those dishes and i've gotta...

I think I was only pretending it was March 9. Although I kept referring to that date, this appeared on the tape after some songs recorded in early April. And it doesn't sound liek the latter was recorded over the former, because it starts so perfectly: "all right, this is march 9th".
"A whole month late" implies this was recorded April 9. I had probably expected to receive the letter March 9 but ended up getting it exactly a month later. Also, the next tape starts by saying outright that it's April 9 and that I received a letter. I'm 99% certain it was the same letter. So, April 9 makes the most sense.
Lyrics to "March 9 Letter":
all right this is march 9th this is before i get your letter all right? you just gotta imagine that before you letter arrives sometime today i honestly think march 9th as soon as i woke up i knew it was a lucky day and even if your letter doesn't come then ok gotta be quick the keyboard's dying it's already weak before i get your letter i feel i know it's your besta you pick the perfect dates to send your letter, your letter you pick the perfect dates and not in the way of boys but maybe you do but that's not the issue i say you, you picked a good lucky date march 9th you're letter's a bit late a whole month late but it's, it's a lucky date hit it your letter's in the mail i can sense it maybe in the mail box your letter's in the mail i can sense it and it's maybe in the mail box

This refers to Kim's letter which I received that day.
Lyrics to "Reply":

This "proves" that the "March 9" reference was pretense. Not that it matters.
Lyrics to "April 9 Chatter":
this is april 9th this is the day that i did receive your letter all right i'm just mumbling i'm getting short on tapes as you can see stupid songs being ??? like this the cable for the keyboard died so i'm using the cable to the mixer so i'm not using the mixer all right, that's why it sounds so stupid ready i hope this works

The "thingamajig" was a Kalimba. I tried playing it at the same time as the keyboard. Sounds pretty horrid. Gets even worse when the cornet kicks in. Yikes.

Complaining about Kim's letter writing became a frequent pasttime. The constant waiting for letters eventually inspired me to write "Maybe".
Lyrics to "Write Back Chatter":
all right this is probably the reason that you take a month to write back see, i can officially say a month 'cause last time it was only, what, 2 weeks, 3 weeks yeah, i can say a month time but, you know, i bet it will go up to year and i'll be saying "hey, if it takes you a year to write then it must take you a year to read the letter" pbbt

I don't think I needed to tell you that the horn sound was fake. Some of the Asian melodic ideas are ok, and the distorted bass drone is kinda cool, but overall the song is lame.
Lyrics to "Fake Horn":
here's a little ditty that i want you to hear by the way that wasn't me really on the french horn that was the keyboard so don't hide your head in emabarassment thinking that your clarinet playing it so tacky you probably are a lot better than me i'm terrible on the french horn i interrupt that, i interrupt that, i interrupt that because it's stupid

This improv is a sloppy, cheesy pseudo-reggae instrumental. The semi-melodic solos and occasionally unexpected chord changes try to prevent it from being a total snore-fest, but fail.

Enough about radon already! This is really dumb, saved only by the semi-funny improvised lyrics. Unfortunately, the vocal section is very muffled.
"Obstreperous" was probably a vocab word for the week. I don't remember ever using it afterwards.
Lyrics to "Radon Mouse":
this is what happens when i have radon in my brain and it all wants to leave at once yeah i run around in my little house don't be obstreperous chill, it's only only a mouse i run around, i run around, yeah i run around, i run around my mouse is big and scary he's got 2 big fangs and is so hairy he has 2 little feet that was all, that's all god gave him, yeah

The first part of this was the same thing as "Mixerless", with poorer sound quality and more gum chomping. It was really sloppy and annoying. I've edited it out, leaving this improvised bit, which is more interesting.
The "percussion" solo in the middle sounds like I was dropping a pen on the keyboard. It happened to bounce rhythmically. Kinda neat.
Lyrics to "Remixerless":
and that was just some old crap, ow yeah, now i'm gonna play that old crap right now i'm gonna prove to you that i can do it what do you think of that?

My dad and I were talking about my upcoming filming of a History Day project, which I'm pretty sure was "Settlement of Southern Africa".
I don't know what the "January 18th" reference is. Perhaps I was saying parts of the previous songs ("Mixerless" and "Remixerless") were written back then?
Lyrics to "History Day Chatter":
trav: january 18th dad: come get all the stuff off the table bring it down on this table and then film it down here with the bright lights like you did earlier trav: ok on this history day project that's due tuesday how do we know how long to make the pictures? dad: well, we'll experiment trav: woodie, hi ok, goodbye

This multi-track jam starts off slow, muddy, and boring. It's not nearly as cool as the stuff on Five Dollar Drummer, or even earlier tapes for Kim.
However, it gets interesting towards the end, when a bluesy lyric starts up, and the background solos get wilder.
At the very end, a completely different set of music kicks in. It sounds like I wasn't prepared for it.

One track of vocals it tough enough to stomach. Two is just nuts. Fortunately, the music has lots of energy. Sloppy energy, but energy nevertheless. The last part is sped up, and ups the energy even more.

This muffled excerpt sounds like the end of a song that I recorded over. I don't know when it was recorded, or why I clobbered it.
