Notes
More messy jams. Most are painful.
It was being increasingly clear that my philosophy of continuing recording until I found a "good" was flawed, because some days I just never found a good idea, so I ended up wasting a lot of tape on lame stuff.
Some of the lyrics can be witty or at least observational. The music is almost uniformly awful, however.

This has a long instrumental intro. Kinda muddy and monotonous, though.
The lyrics are about our yearly bike trip to the Tulip Festival in Skagit County.
Lyrics to "Tulip Replay":
ok i think i have room for one more mess on this side here come the tulips here come the flowers gonna get to them by pedal power hey tulips here we come for you this is the thing we always do i'm stricken by a case of deja vu i'm stricken by ??? too hey hey hey replay replay replay i'm stricken by a case of deja vu i'm stricken ??? it's ok it's ok it's ok to replay it's ok it's ok it's ok we'll have a very fine day all the tulips are waiting for me and you or maybe they will just be dust orbs and stumps too ok ok ok as long as i get to be with you for a day it's ok to replay to replay to replay to replay are the tulips waiting for me and you are there daffodils too it's ok it's ok it's ok if it's just a replay it's ok it's ok it's ok if we have tired legs this is the thing we like to do this is the thing we like to do i speak for me; do i speak for you when i say this is the thing we like to do is it ok to replay it's ok i think that's the end of the side

I think I recorded this the same day as the last song(s), because I don't mention the date and my voice sounds a little hoarse. However, I also say that I am recording over some "horrible" music, so maybe this was a new day.
Either way, this is a false start for "Eveolution".
Lyrics to "Eveolution False Start":
i'm recording over this side because it was horrible all right first song is called eveolution, e v e olution i gotta stand up because if i sit down this is gonna suck first you were an ant and then you were a spider then you were a slug and then you were a moth then you were a chickadee and then you were a crow and then you were a seagull and then you were an eagle and then you were a cat and then you were a dog and then you were a girl and then you were a boy messed up false start number 1 i jump straight to the punch line like a fool, didn't i? oh god, like a fool that's kinda interesting that's uninteresting

The music reminds me of "I Mowed". The lyrics are silly.
Lyrics to "Eveolution":
first you were an ant and then you were a moth and then you were a spider and then you were a slug and then you were a chickadee and then you were a crow and then you were a seagull and then you were an eagle and then you were a cat and then you were a dog and then you were a horse and then you were a monkey and then you were a chimp and then you were a gorilla and then you were a girl and then you were a boy and then you were a man and now you are a woman why did you become a woman after becoming a man when you were in the embryo when you were an embryo [sigh] i had no idea what i'd be saying when i got to this point but i never got to this point point before i never got to this point before i never got to this point before i never got to this point before [repeat] first you were an ant and then you were a slug and then you were a spider it's all arbitrary and so said mary who had a little lamb who then became a sheep and then became a cow she never got to this point before and she never got to this point before and she never got to this point before and never got to this point before and never got to this point before and never got to this point before and never got to this point before and never got to this point before 1 2 3 4 way to ruin it travis and never got to this point before never got to this point before and never got to this point before and never got to this point before so i had a point and i wanted to make it a song and the idea was that on the evolutionary ladder girls were below boys and i know that's not very funny but i had never heard it said like that in a song before so i wanted to give it a shot and i did the count-up and then i got to the point where i was supposed to say something witty and then the punch line i messed up and if you think this is horrid you should have hear the 22 minutes it wasn't a 22 minute epic like julian cope's poet is priest on his jehovahkill reissue it was a 22 minute pile of poo poo and my only excuse is i had never gotten to that point before oh i never got to that point before i never got to that point before i never got to the point before [scat] yes i'm getting tired and i've been doing this for over an hour i am really tired of doing this all the time and i have nothing to say i've been inside all day and i never got to this point before and i never got to this point before and i never got to this point before and i never got to this point before and i never got to this point before and i never got to this point before i never got to this point before i never got to this point before

This starts off sounding somewhat tight, but then loses it and gets steadily worse as I got more fatigued.
Lyrics to "Handle":
i better learn to keep it simple and rhythmic because this is all i can handle all i can handle all i can handle all i can handle i've got to learn to keep it simple 'cause frankly this is all i can handle all i can handle all i can handle some people can play real chords but i only know the power ones, that's all i can handle all i can handle some people know how to strum and pluck and all the fingerings but i just do this it's all i can handle tripecac is my handle some people know how to play on guitar some people do not i'm one of the latter i'm one of the sadder some people have artistic ability and then there's me woah is me some people know when to quit they put down the tape recorder and take a walk outside but i've got my pride 'cause i will not stop recording until i like a moment in a recording or someone comes home but it's only 1 and noone's supposed to be here for another 5 hours but that's ok 'cause it's trex today it's ok to play with trex today i've probably given myself a blister and i deserve it do i ever wish that i had learned to play the guitar and do i ever wish i had learned how to sing? nuh-uh ??? 'cause i don't have the stamina one way to build the stamina is to play with yourself another way to build stamina is to practice and that's what i'm doing what's the point of recording practice when it's as bad as this to be honest i feel like throwing up 'cause it's so hot to be honest i think i'm getting tired my fingers are sloppy maybe if i just stop singing my ability to play with increase but it never does what a waste of tape what a waste of time i'm beginning to feel, i feel like puking this is pathetic sometimes if i take the pod pro and put on a different voice i get a new fresh, fresh breeze of inspiration at least enthusiasm i'm getting tired of this sound i'm just plain tired 'cause it seems like an endurance thing i've been playing for an hour and 15 minutes straight and this is being recorded in stereo which is a total joke my fingers are just not hitting the notes anymore, are they? i'm losing my voice

This is a continuation of "Handle", but with a different preset. It doesn't really return to the original lyrics.
Lyrics to "Handle 2":
let's try a different preset cross your fingers is this the one that revitalizes this effort we'll find out very soon if it doesn't i will stop some people i don't think this is gonna revitalize the effort, do you? it sounds like mud and the funny thing is this riff was supposed to be better than the last one more sustainable it ain't some people think that changing the settings on your pod pro will give you new inspiration some people think playing the guitar is easy well i agree it's actually easy to make noise like me the hard part is making something that sounds catchy especially when you're as exhausted as me as me 'cause i'm exhausted i'm exhausted god it sounds so muffled what the heck is wrong with the way this sounds it sounds horrible

The third preset gave me new energy. Unfortunately, it required me to jump around, and that made me nervous about falling through the floor.
Lyrics to "Handle 3":
i don't want the fake reverb i just want something good good, man i am so exhausted so exhausted so exhausted so exhausted i'll record over maybe if i had done a sound like this in the beginning and sustained it so is it true that your pod pro can give your energy back you energy back you know i feel like the floor is gonna cave in one of these days i better not dance in here 'cause i don't want to end up in the garage i hope i do not fall through the floor that would suck it's hard to play really fast unless i dance a little bit in here so you've got to humor me if i fall through the floor if i fall through the floor will you rescue me as i lie on the pool table covered in computer parts will you rescue me with my broken neck and broken parts and all that stuff will you remember to unplug the computers before you try to extract my head from the monitor i don't wanna fall i don't wanna fall i don't wanna fall i don't wanna fall i don't wanna fall through the floor i don't wanna fall through the floor i don't wanna fall i don't wanna fall i don't wanna fall i don't wanna fall through the floor through the floor i can't sing can i? or play it's so hot in here it's so hot today i don't wanna fall i don't wanna fall i don't wanna fall

This was about the recent Va Tech shooting spree. Lots of false starts. However, unlike most of the recent songs, this one actually improves towards the end.
Lyrics to "About the Spree":

The intro says this was recorded on the same day, which was the 18th. So the mention of the first day being the 18th was wrong (hence the "I screwed up"); it should actually have been the 16th (which was a Monday), which would indeed make this recording the 18th.
The music starts rough, but gradually gets catchier, though cruder. And it's about the same subject: the spree.
Lyrics to "In the Middle":
all right, this is my more sensitive song same day so we're in the middle oh nice so we're in the middle so we're in the middle i'm a jam band so we're in the middle so we're in the middle of 2 famous days some time in april that's 18th and the 20th so we're in the screwed up what's new let's try it take 2 so we're in the middle of 2 famous days one day was monday and the other day is hitler's birthday so we're in the middle of 2 famous sprees one happened in colorado and the other happened in hicksville [scat] so we're in the middle a media barrage frankly i'm bored do i sound like i'm playing in a garage but that's not quite true i'm actually in the little studio that's above the garage so i'm in the middle between the roof and the floor i don't know what i'm saying anymore so i'm in the middle between the clouds and the ground [scat] so we're in the middle of 2 famous days the 16th and the 20th of april so we're in the middle what is it with this month why do people have to turn to ka-pow ka-pow ka-pow ka-pow so we're in the middle of 2 famous people or actually 3 if you count the guys at the colorado place see i'm not gonna say the same of that school because goo-google will just be a magnet to people so we're in the middle of 2 famous days in my opinion are very dumb days so we're in the middle of lots of losers and the media is focused on losers in the middle i'm frankly glad that i'm a hermit so when i get mad i just break my stuff and throw it around you don't see me running around with a weapon in my hand because i'm a hermit and i have no need to unleash any fury at the people around me but we're in the middle of lots of less intelligent people who feel compelled to make their presence felt they just want attention that is my theory and some people have only gotten attention by being gross and perverts poo poo poo poo poo poo poo caca caca people sometime get attention by simply being shocking they say something really crude and everybody just says oh my god that's wrong and the people just keep on doing it they talk about bodily functions like this poo poo caca, poo poo caca, poo poo caca, poo poo caca diarrhea dripping down your head blaa blaa blaa blaa wish i was dead i'm an insane individual so i talk about bodily functions like the boogers in my mouth poo poo caca, poo poo caca diarrhea oh baby aren't i funny gimme attention gimme a gun poo poo caca, poo poo caca diarrhea dripping down my forehead like sweat gimme attention or gimme a gun poo poo caca, poo poo caca toilet humor abounds in my reportoir 'cause that's the only thing i know how to do now gimme a gun poo poo caca, poo poo caca, poo poo caca eat the diarrhea blaa blaa blaa i have no other talents other than making people smirk at my disgusting sense of quote humor unquote yes, i'm a jerk poo poo caca, poo poo caca, poo poo poo caca diarrhea is in my head and some day i will just take everybody with me poo poo caca, poo poo caca, poo poo caca bang bang you are dead now you have to pay attention to me poo poo caca, poo poo caca toilet humor and diarrhea dripping down my forehead poo poo caca, poo poo caca poo poo caca, poo poo caca poo poo bang bang bang bang siren siren siren attention attention attention attention i'm getting my attention yes a little bit uncomfortable but i'm getting my attention this is the way i know how to get it just shock people, shock shock shock shot, shot shot shot shock people, shock shock shock, shock shock shock bang bang, i'm dead, i'm dead, i'm dead and now i'm going up to heaven and i say hey god i don't really believe in you but lemme tell you a joke what do you get when you mix loserdom and clowndom and god says i don't know that one i thought i was omniscient i thought i knew everything well, god you get 1 2 3 4 poo poo caca, poo poo caca floating on the clouds and god says you are sick you're going down now, going down now poo poo caca, poo poo caca, poo poo poo poo caca poo poo caca, poo poo caca that's enough of this now because i know i've worn out my welcome

I had bought a new dictaphone for Trex, since my old one had died. I was thinking about switching from the 4-track back to dictaphone, and decided to record a couple tests to see if there was a significant difference in quality.
Lyrics to "Turn My Back":
all right 19 april 1 2 3 got a tape recorder or a dictaphone gonna turn my back on the 4-track on the 4-track, on the 4-track and i'm going back to the dictaphone to the dictaphone, ??? on the phone ??? on the phone, ??? on the phone ??? on the 4 track ??? the dictaphone now dictaphone now dictaphone now dictaphone now dictaphone now on the 4-track on the 4-track on the 4-track on the 4-track part 2 will be on the 4-track that's it part 2's coming up in fact i will start part 2 right now i ??? recording part 2 is on the i'm gonna do that last part 2 is gonna be on the dictaphone on the dictaphone the new recorder

The slight echo comes from the fact that the dictaphone recorded at a different speed from the 4-track so I had to speed-adjust, but didn't get them lined up perfectly. I ended up liking the echo, since it sounds more live.
Lyrics to "Three Track Boos":
today's the 19th of april 2007 stop playing i've got jodie on the guitar and i'm recording in 3 tracks 2 on the 4-track and 1 track on the dictaphone, a brand new dictaphone got jodie on the guitar and downie on the vocals this is called the 3 track garage band extravaganza it's called 3 track blues i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track i want my money back 'cause this 3-track it sounds like really bad bad cacky cack it sounds like tripecac it sounds like cacky cack i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track i want my money back i want my money back i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track all right that was me demoing and now we're gonna have downie stepping up to the mic all right this is the full version the real version debut version of 3-track boos b o o s 1 2 i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track we want our money back my name is downie my name is downie i never frownie i ride my bikie i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track we want our money back my name is downie i never frownie i love my bikie i'm not a d---ie [scat] all right now our 3rd and final vocalist if she can handle it she's gonna play guitar and voc and vocalize at the same time that's right everybody play her broom like a slide on the guitar here we have jodie singing the vocals how ya doin? how ya doin? how ya doin? how ya doin? how ya doin? how ya doin? how ya doin? how ya doin? i'm on the 3-track i want my money back i like to sweep and sweep i never never weep my name is jodie i love the roadie but it's full of leavies so i can sweepie i'm on the 3-track i'm on the 3-track i love my downie she has a bikie i love my broomie i love my broomie i don't need to be a d---ie now everybody sing along we on the 3-track we on the 3-track we want our money back we love our broomie we love our downie we love our jodie we on the 3-track we on the 3-track we on the 3-track we on the 3-track that's was called 3-track boos b o o s speaking of boos i've gotta turn off one of these tape recorders

Lyrics to "Bumity Bum":
got a swirling ham got a baseball cap wanna grow a goatee got a handgun well a bb gun well a squirt gun and a receipt i wanna be just like the others, see i don't wanna stand out confirmity is good and i wanna be accepted and my dream is to be popular with the masses i was an unpopular kid now i'm a loser adult i am fat and i'm ugly i live under the bridge and i never have shaved no, i hardly ever act my age and i'm always hoping that someday someone will rescue me someone will be my angel, guardian angel and then meanwhile i'll continue living under the bridge continue living under the bridge in my beard and baseball cap and fake goatee that's right i have a beard but i'm trying to grow a goatee makes no sense but then my mind is feeble too much drugs for me oh one day i hope to move into a tent maybe the one in the swamp can be aired out this summer if it doesn't get stolen by another bum i say stolen 'cause i never steal i just borrow borrow from dumpsters that i find unless kj beats me to them that's right, i said kj she lives with me under the bridge i said kj, her beard is almost thick as mine and she is also trying to grow a goatee but what am i talking about i think i did too many drugs i think i've forgot so much do women have beards or is kj just a figment of my lsd imagination

musicians are god musicians are god musicians yeah i'm starting to run out of ideas can't you hear musicians are god musicians are god musicians musicians are god if i pass beyond the sidewalk then you will never know me until you come into the racoony palace that's where i go with the cats under the deck i eat catfood 3 times or 4 times a week bumity bum was my father i am only 12 live with the cats under the deck with the cats before he died he taught me to smoke he taught me to steal from the cats and racoons bumity bum was my father we lived under the bridge together some say that kj was my mother but we'll never know who my real mother was because my dad found me in a plastic bag under the bridge, under the bridge my dad found me in a plastic bag under the bridge, under the bridge and he says i'm 12 but i think i'm really 30 he says i'm 12 but i think i'm rather dirty and besides dad's dead he died between the last song and this one he died, he died or maybe he just went to the toilet for too long but i gave up on him because i have low attention span low attention span i'm an empty he-man low attention span bumity bum was not a good father and kj had straw hair my dad didn't teach me how to steal from the cats efficienty i've got scratched too many times my eyes are always in bloody bloody bloody tatters from the cats who steal my food i call them rude but they don't care they have no feelings neither do the people who just bike by me that was called the ballad of bumity bum junior
