Notes
This is yet another set of guitar jams, recorded on a warbly tape.
The semi-title song ("Warble Guitarble") is probably the highlight. The rest of the tracks are messy and often annoying improvs.
There's not much wit or melody here, just lots of geeky noise making.

This is a very warbly, sloppy lament about buying a new computer.
I'm not sure about the date. The intro says it's the 29th, but later in the song I said it was the 28th. When I go back through my records, I see that I ordered parts on both the 28th and 29th! So I'm picking the 29th, on the assumption that the song was trying to pretend it was still the 28th. Not that it really matters!
Lyrics to "Buyer's Remorse":
today's the 29th of march giovanna's coming home any second and of course as soon as she pulls in the driveway i've got to turn off the guitar so i gotta keep this really short um you know this tape doesn't sound very good but only got 5 minutes to tell you how i feel right now the biggest thing in my life is the fact that today i ordered the it's the it's the 28th of march, 28th of march, ok to-today i went ahead and ordered a computer half of it came from multiwave the other half came from newegg and a little from amazon in all cost about a thousand dollars in case you didn't hear me, that's 2 thousand dollars it's not very fun to spend that much especially blaa blaa especially on replacement that's likely to only last a couple years all i hope is that it will be stable all i hope all i hope i just hope that it will be stable i just hope that it will actually last all of 5 years and i hope i don't get electrocuted as i put it together i spent a lot of money and a lot of time searching for parts and hopefully i'll feel better when it comes in the mail and i take the time to put it together and turn it on in a couple weeks i might be using it but i hope now that i ordered it, i don't really care and i feel like i just spent too much money on something that i marginally need will the money pay for all the picture proofing that i need oh this is awful 'cause i had to give up the ide i had to switch to agp to pci-e i had to give up my old component give up the swapability give up 2 thousand dollars just to have something that may or may not last 5 years but i guess i can always tell myself that i make the same stressful decision every couple of years or in the case of this year, twice 'cause i already assembled giovanna's computer in january and here i am doing another one in march jeez i gotta go now, she's here

More of the same choppiness. I think I was listening to a lot of Minutemen back then.
Lyrics to "Going to the UPS":
momentarily catchy but then the typical travis chaos comes in not chaos as in complexity more chaos as in inept, inept lack of ability so we're going to the ups looking for a package before 6 gotta leave in 16 minutes to make it there it's 3:44 yeah that was bad

Talking about my love of English music.
Lyrics to "Anglofetish":
you know, these songs they're so short because i have no stamina i know there's better bands out, i mean i'm sure there are better bands our there in the world than trex i'm sure there exists some band out there who has a little bit more talent than me yeah i'm positive that such an artistic body exists somewhere in the universe no what i was gonna say is the minutemen did really short, choppy songs so did wire now, i like wire more than the minutemen because wire's british and the minutemen are american and i have an anglofetish and that's the name of this song, it's called anglofetish except that doesn't sound very anglo, does it? i don't think there's anything i can do on guitar which is gonna make you think of england you're more likely to think of some high school band room jam in the back you know if there's anything good about these recordings it's they show how cool the pod pro is and how uncool i am 'cause all the coolness comes from the pod pro and all the annoying bits come from me all right, i gotta finish this tape

Lyrics to "I Was Punk":

Just making noise. This is another of those songs where I say "fortunately, it's short".
Lyrics to "Incoherent Coolness":

Lyrics to "Handsome Creatures":
that has a nice handsome delay to it no i didn't say hanson as in the hanson brothers, oh my god why would i refer to a band that was stupid in the 90s? the cowboy drew his gun he pointed it at the girl and said this will be fun travis why are your all [babble] and he wondered why oh jesus just shut up travis hey travis, why are so many of your songs about violence? why do they involve killing helpless creatures? and i say oh i'm sorry about killing helpless creatures i'll change the topic; how about that? instead of killing creatures let's just torture creatures the more helpless they are, the more pleasure instead of killing creatures let's just torture little creatures the more helpless they are, the more pleasure yeah the music was about as weak as the premise

Lyrics to "Another Chord":
all right this is absolutely nuts but yes i'm back, the same day i'm dressed to go to fairhaven got my jacket on, got my wallet and keys i'm ready to go, mind you, 100% ready to go and what do i do? like an idiot i go towards the musical instrument room i need to find another chord and i need to find another chord i need to find another chord i need to find another chord so i stumbled upon a power chord and it wasn't that bad the nice thing about the power chord, oh gosh is it's logical you can apply it again and again and again and again the power chord it's based on transposition so with a little repetition you can make entire songs out of power chords 1 5 4 and 1 5 4 all the young guitarists know the power chord but i'm not so young and the power chord is just about all i know on guitar but i'm having fun since when has ability entered into the equation for my music; it's all about the fun i'm not talking about hedonistic social activity oh i'm the only one so it's ok if all i can play is a power chord as long as i have fun the music it will be all right as long as i have fun the music i can play all day as long as i have fun ha ha ha so what am i playing now? it's not a power chord but there's permutations i think i'm holding the last 4 or 5 strings and i, i just continue to strum i have no idea what chord this is but it's ok when i play 'cause it's play, this is just play it's not work, i'm done with that today this is play, ah ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha so tonight we're gonna eat some pho well that's the plan and i hope it happens gonna go to trek video and get a good movie something better than documentaries last night we watched persuit of happiness directed by an italian, starring will smith it was ok, a rags to riches story ok the acting was good but the writing was poor it made me think am i just like that guy and his stink looking for a niche i do not think so 'cause i do not have a kid and i'm not married to a beach ha ha ha do you like my humor; i make it up as i go along can you tell? ha ha ha i like to laugh at my own jokes; that's why some of these lines end with ha and ha ha ha i am sure if i were more egotistical i would end with testerostonie ??? uh uh uh i'm a man and i grunt with power whenever i can i'm a man, a very cool man i like to wear my pants half way down my fanny i'm a man, i sound like a man and i get the girls to clean up after me whenever i can 'cause i'm a man ok, that's it

This was very quiet because it was late at night. I snipped out the really negative bits.
Lyrics to "Quiet Coda":
ok 9th of april 2007 it's like 9 o'clock at night it's not a good time for me to be playing guitar i will have to be playing very quietly installed the new computer i guess it's doing ok vista is not perfect it's called vista anyway so the new computer is slowly taking over the roles of the old computer they're annoyed at the john adams and thomas jeffersons and intellectuals and ultra-active thinkers and doers of the world 'cause those thinkers and doers always have an agenda whereas a fun person doesn't have any preference he's just opportunistically eating that grapes that other people are feeding hime getting fatter and fatter bachus bachus bachus bachus king bachus bachus bachus nobody likes john adams because he was so serious he did all the thinking for everybody he did all the worrying he did all the analyzing but john adams keeps going, doesn't he? ben franklin keeps going, doesn't he? thomas jefferson keeps going, doesn't he?
