Notes
This finishes up the fall and remainder of 2007. The quality of music had really plummeted relative to earlier in the year. with the few moments of minor catchiness being marred by profanity and tape warble. Ultimately, this ends the year with a big stinky raspberry.

This is really warbly, which is frustrating. Not that it ruins an otherwise good song.
Lyrics to "Technical Suckage":
14th of november 2007 i'm a little bit in an irritable mood music computer's been acting strange acting very strange perfectdisk has been freezing and when i rebooted it couldn't see d drive couldn't see the music drive and that sucks hey technical is what it's called ok it's analyzing the first drive and it's still stuck at analyzing at 83 percent which is where it was last time i don't know what's wrong i don't know what's wrong i don't know what's wrong i don't know what's wrong gotta do a disk scan gotta do a disk scan 'cause i don't know what's wrong i don't know what's wrong it's technical and i don't like it it gives me headaches just want it to work still stuck at 83 percent this really sucks you know maybe there's something wrong with it i have no idea what's wrong with anything god this sucks

More warbling. I don't know if the warbling happened at the time of recording or digitization. If the latter, then at some point I should go back and re-digitize these warbly songs. That's a lot of work, so I'm hoping it was warbly at the time of recording.
Take away the warbling and this song is darn near PERFECT!
Lyrics to "Gimme a P":
16 november 2007 [scat] gimme a p oh god gimme a p gimme a p o o what does it spell how does it smell gimme a p o o how does it smell gimme a p o o how does it smell gimme a p o o can't you smell you smell smell oh smelly smells all day in my cubicle and i'm smelling smells all day isn't that cuticle cuticle oh how does it smell gimme a p o o how does it smell in your cubicle how does it smell in your cubicle you're a cuticle and you smell not very well you don't look very well and to be honest you smell like p o o o hell oh gimme a p o o o p o o o gimme a p that collapsed

Truly awful. At least the warble is less, which suggests it was happening during the recording. Not that anyone would care if this recording never existed!
The penultimate line, however, is priceless.
Lyrics to "Double OO":

Horribly warbly, which is too bad because this is almost catchy at times. Influenced by Can.

This continues the previous song ("Worse than Me") but builds in intensity and catchiness. Unfortunately, the topic strays to current events, and profanity creeps in. So I'm gonna have to censor it.
Lyrics to "Amanda Box":
i need to get myself a pick for the final climax 1 2 ready go i'm so tired i can barely play my own side i keep strumming i keep strumming it wrong can't keep the time even when it is mine i can't play the song 'cause i'm so f---ing tired not like i'm inspired i'm not fired repeat repeat ad infinitum repeat repeat repeat ad infinitum just repeat like a time time samurai repeat like a time time samurai my ear is buzzing cannot stand the noise ??? i ??? it's the noise ??? gotta stand away from the amp ??? stand away from the amp ??? ??? i've having a pizza ear tonight she's gonna make pizza i fear mimi's gonna eat the pizza i fear oh no oh no mimi's gonna eat the pizza we fear this song's too long doesn't matter just play i barely have the strength to keep on playing my ear is buzzing like a hornet's vest there's probably one that's forming above me they think that i'm doing a mating dance yellowjacket yellowjacket come hither i'm gonna slip you a cold beer and get you drunk that's one that's not gonna go on the internet i guarantee it's not even gonna probably go on a cd but it sure was fun

Anyway, this feels like a medley, a collage of little ideas. I guess it's an appropriate ending for the year.
Lyrics to "Exit 2007":
you know what i'm doing right now is i'm just waiting for a tripecac song to backup the tripecac song is standa i'm waiting for it the backup and then i'll go in the other room it's actually lunch time lunch time lunch time and i'm finishing up the standa song which is pretty dumb but what's new what's new with you so what's new what's new what's new with you almost done with the year i fear that 2008 won't be much different musically from 2007 and 2006 and 2005 and 2004 and 2003 and 2002 and 2001 this decade has some similarity this decade just sounds so similar to me and and so what will i try to do in 2008 musically the answer is nothing nothing won't change anything just go with what i'm feeling won't try change anything just gonna stick with a feeling every day 2007 was the year of trex 2007 was trex heaven but tripecac suffered from the inattention i lost my momentum forgot why i make music in the first place make music in the first place make music in the first place first place first place first place and the reason i make music is i wanna have a sense of progress the reason i make music is cause i want my own sense of success it's an illusion a musical illusion it's an illusion a musical illusion that's why i'm making songs in the first place that's why i'm making songs in the first place that's why i'm making songs in the first place that's why i'm making songs in the first place hey just when i finished the song the backup finishes is that what you call synchronicity bye bye
