This next set was started on Infinity Day (August 8) 2007. It kicks off with a dad, ends with a dud, but deep inside are some catchy ideas. I think.
Best of luck enjoying this one.

I guess I was afraid I wasn't gonna return from the trip. Unfortunately, those lyrics turned into a dumb, Hitchcockian play on words.

Kinda dumb and catchy at the same time, like the best Trex efforts. Not that this is one.
It's actually the third song recorded that day. I think I lost count with the tape change.
Lyrics to "Songity Song":

Whether the horribleness is intentional or not I neither know nor care. This is bottom of the bottom. I ended up editing out most of this horrendous mess, leaving only the least annoying bits.
At some point the guitar was feeding back so much that I stopped playing while it droned on. I then fiddled with the effects while the the guitar continued to drone.
Lyrics to "Artsy Fartsy":
to make up for that i'm gonna do a smiple straightahead song for you this one is called artsy fartsy it's official i'm tired of the artsy fartsy fartsy fartsy i'm tired of delay i'm tired of flanger i want something very simple i'm so sick of the artsy fartsy i'm so sick of the artsy fartsy i'm so sick of the artsy fartsy i'm so sick of the artsy fartsy [repeat] i'm so sick of the artsy fartsy i'm so sick of the artsy fartsy i'm so sick of the artsy fartsy guitartsy well this is basically just wasting this tape isn't it 'cause this is horrible i don't know what's up the guitar and yes i'm just blaming the racket on the racket i'm just standing here it's just giving me all this feedback for some reason i'm gonna put the guitar up the guitar is on the wall see i'm clapping my hands i don't know what's up with the guitar it's not very happy right now it's just feeding back feeding back i'm gonna use the wah pedal anyway i hate the artsy fartsy i hate the artsy fartsy i hate the artsy fartsy guitartsy i hate the artsy guitartsy i hate the artsy guitartsy i hate the artsy fartsy guitartsy i hate the artsy guitartsy i hate the artsy fartsy i hate the fartsy guitartsy artsy i hate the artsy guitartsy i hate the artsy fartsy i hate the artsy guitartsy now how i hate the arsty guitartsy how i hate the farsty artsy how i hate the artsy fartsy guitartsy i hate the artsy guitartsy i hate the artsy fartsy i hate the fartsy guitartsy now i hate the artsy fartsy i hate the artsy fartsy guitartsy i hate the artsy fartsy now we hate the artsy fartsy ha we all hate the fartsy guitartsy we hate the artsy fartsy now where's the bass now i cannot hear the bass i cannot make it at this pace i cannot the bass i cannot sustain the bass we hate the artsy guitartsy we hate artsty fartsy guitartsy we hate the artsy fartsy guitarsy it's like goatsie oh that was such a waste of half a side of a tape the lesson learned from that is just because you have a wah pedal doesn't mean you have to use it bye bye
