Notes
We've finally reached the fall of 2007, the last leg of the marathon year for Trex. Unfortunately, the music shows very little progress relative to the spring, indicating that the 2 song (a day) rule doesn't guarantee greatness.
Songs
Losers
- Fall Start track 1
- recorded: 2007-09-19
- location: Bellingham
- length: 3:39
- Travis Emmitt - electric guitar, vocals
Because this is so mean (though honest), I'm just gonna censor it. Not a great start to the album!
Lyrics to "Losers":

This one is named after one of G's old bosses. It's kinda mean, and marginally funny. Since she (or anyone for that matter) is highly unlikely to be listening to this I'll leave it uncensored.
Lyrics to "Matriarch":
19th september 2007 matriarch this is the second song of the day therefore the last the matriarch wanted to run things for a day the matriarch always wanted things to go her way the matriarch wanted to be the queen bee the matriarch doesn't get very close to me thank god that i don't have first hand knowledge of the matriarch her name begins with a k the matriarch her son is jail today the matriarch considers herself a model mother but the matriarch is a bit uneducated and i say why can't darwin take his hand to her like he did to the lazy crazy family or at least he should why won't darwin just exterminate them 'cause i don't ever want to face them the matriarch regarded herself as a queen to run the company was her lifelong dream she considered herself superior to all her underlings but what she didn't know was that she was a rhinoscerous idiot the matriarch her name starts with k pathy no gathy no rathy no you can take a guess the matriarch she taught me how to play the guitar she said you gotta strum with this hands and with the other hands you move your fingers it's as simple as that she had limited intelligence and to this day she thinks she's the s--- but you know i just think she's a little bit of an idiot her name starts with k and rhymes with pathy i really have no impression of her that is positive i think she is so ugly the matriarch can suck my cocker spaniel the matriarch is a retarded ugly troll and she has her talons in the coffee cups of everybody that works around her everybody works around her everybody works around her they gotta give her a wide berth 'cause her butt is built like a mack truck eating all the chocolates every single week snarfing down the donuts every single week i think she is weak i think she is weak i think she is weak and a fat a-- too i am not impressed with her as you i am not as impressed with her as i am to you as i am to you as i am to you as i am to you as i am to you ... the matriarch doesn't deserve the 5 minutes that i'm giving her right now well fortunately the song i am devoting to her isn't very good she's not gonna live long she's not gonna live very long in the memories of trex fans she's not gonna dwell very long in the memories of trex fans maybe i am sabotaging the song for the sake of the trex fans maybe i am sabotaging her song for the sake of every woman and man of every woman and man of every woman and man she is a woman and man she is a woman and man she looks more like a man she's got the boobs of a woman but the butt of a man and she's a maternal rhinoscerous cerous cerous cerous cerous cerous... hippopatamus amus amus amus amus amus got a butt like a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus stepped off the short yellow bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus she got a butt like a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus she got a butt like a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus i can't do this she's got a butt like a bus a bus my ear's buzzing stepped off the short yellow bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus she got a butt like a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus her brain is full of rust a rust a rust a rust a rust stepped off the short yellow bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus her butt is too big for the bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus her butt is too big for the bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus her butt is too big for the bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus her butt is too big for the bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus and her name starts with k and her name starts with k i give you 3 guesses today and her name rhymes with pathy she got a butt like a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus the brain of a hippopatamus amus amus amus amus amus she got the brain of a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus a bus and her brain is full of pus of pus of pus of pus of pus of pus she eats half her meals on sofas half her meals on sofas sofas sofas sofas sofas sofas sofas she's too big for sofas sofas sofas sofas sofas sofas she likes to make a fuss a fuss a fuss a fuss a fuss a fuss a fuss the matriarch is a hippopatamus amus amus amus amus amus amus the matriarch is a mass a mass a mass a mass a mass of pus the matriarch is a mass a mass a mass a mass a mass of pus interesting as the trail on sumas sumas sumas sumas sumas sumas i guess that's it for today i hope to end this in a positive way but that is what i gotta say hey hey that was pathetic par for the course

Noisy, doesn't really get going. Well, at least it's not offensive.

Not much here. Just multiple versions of the same creatively limited song idea.
Lyrics to "Can't Polish a What":
all right this is a dumb little song hey don't give the lyrics a second chance don't give them a second try do not give them a second chance chance just keep them inside you suck at lyrics travis you cannot playing and sing at the same time time [scat] maybe some day i'll be able to play that smoothly but not today same song this is just part poo

The unplanned (and unsanctioned) third song of the ended up the best. There's profanity here but IMO it's not that offensive.

This starts as a boring instrumental, and just gets worse when the dumb vocals start.

Drony and repetitious, but kinda bouncy at times. Clearly referencing Sonic Youth.
The lyrics make fun of the no wave scene. Not that I know anything about it. Or about how to play a guitar.
Lyrics to "No Waving":
2nd and last song for 2007-09-26 yes today i listened to sonic youth good deluxe cd first time there were some really bad songs on there lots of feedback one was called something and something else it was just feedback but it sort of throbbed which was kinda cool i'm gonna mimic sonic youth now just pretend like you're in a club and this is brilliant [scat] ??? ??? ??? you gotta song not ??? it's not a ??? ??? you gotta get a wall of sound gotta get a noise if you want the no wave groupies around gotta get yourself a wall of sound if you want the no wave groupies around wall of sound we are the no wave youth disaffected youth the no wave youth disaffected youth we're the teeny bopper goths and microwave socks and ??? ??? grunge grunge grunge grunge hey grunge grunge grunge grunge ??? ??? ??? it's ok making bad mistakes it's the coolest thing ??? mistake but it's ok 'cause this is proto grunge we're in a funk if you make a mistake it's ok if i make a mistake it's ok 'cause it's no wave if i rape a chick it's ok if a chickie rape edit [scat] ??? if i make a mistake it's ok if i make a mistake it's ok if i make a mistake it's ok 'cause it's no wave 'cause it's no wave ha ha one more time if i make a mistake it's ok if i make a mistake it's ok it's no wave it's no wave it's no wave it's no wave that's my sonic youth imitation

This has a cool groove, but the dopey lyrics kinda ruin it. Was I saying "bms" or "pms"? I'll assume the former, since the latter makes no sense.
Lyrics to "Between IMs":
3rd of october 2007 i am between ims i am between ims between am and pm i am between ims and i am between bms between ims you are between bms i am between ims i am between bms i am between ims you are between bms you are between ims we are between bms working day work this way working day work this way this is the working day how can we work this way working day how can we work this way i am between ims you are between bms i am between ims we are between ims this is working day how can we work this way this is our working day how can we work this way this is our working day how can we work this way this is our working day how can we work this work this way

Yet another noisy improv which doesn't quite get going.
Lyrics to "Potato Larva Intro":
in the interest of getting back to work i'm not gonna actually plan this next song i'm just gonna hit a button i'm gonna start playing and's the name of this one's potato larva once upon a time there lived a potato larva in the forest in the forest that was not potato larva that was the awful awful intro to it

The "real" song starts off even worse than the intro. Fortunately, once some lyrics get going it improves. A little. This is actually edited down quite a bit.
There's a dash of profanity near the end, but it's not like anyone is gonna listen to this.
Lyrics to "Potato Larva":
this is potato larva there's a potato larva beetle crawling on my wall if i mash it with a tissue it's likely to fall this is all in the interest of returning to work fast potato larva potato larva where did you come from why are you crawling on my wall i didn't call you into my bedroom and now you're staring at my girlfriend potato carpet larva larva carpet potato why you sprouting those eyes at me dandelion soups aren't good enough for you eh now you have to get in the carefresh potato larva potato larva potato larva potato larva we all wondered if there was gonna be a day when the potato larvas would come again our way now the carpet larvas are eating the potato larvas now the vacuum larvas are sweeping up the carpet larvas broom larvas are fighting the vacuum larvas the broom larvas are fighting the vacuum larvas the broom larvas are sweeping up the vacuum larvas i guess the broom larvas are sweeping up the vacuum larvas it's a war the broom larvas are sweeping up the vacuum larvas the broom larvas are sweeping up the vacuum larvas ah inconsistent chords this doesn't deserve to be digitized the slimy carpet beetles don't deserve their lives the napkin is their coffin the toilet is their tomb smash the f---ing larva that there's crawling on the wal of my room f---ing larva meet their doom carpet larva meet their doom carpet larva in my room potato larva broom larva vacuum larva gotta gotta remember to vacuum larva that was horrible
