Notes

This is a bunch of a cappella song ideas and silly voices that didn't really fit on the other Trex albums.

The tracks from 2003 were probably mimicking voices in the recent Lord of the Rings movies.

The next three are long improvisational rants about, well, nothing.

The rest are shorter musical and humor ideas. Some are pretty crude. Sorry.

Songs

As You Were Sir

This was about my old band teacher. We were supposed to say "as you were sir" if he made a mistake. I don't know why that tradition got started.

Note: This song is kinda mean, so I'll refrain from posting the mp3.

Lyrics to "As You Were Sir":

SINGING:
  c____ c___ you said that you know everything
  if you are wrong there's something we should sing

  as you were sir
  as you were sir
  as you were sir
  as you were sir

  c____ c___ you think that you know everything
  but you're just stupid blaa blaa da da da
  you are wrong sometimes it's painful to
  look up to you oo oo oo

  as you were sir
  as you were sir
  as you were sir
  as you were sir

TALKING:
  that's "as you were sir"
  just a stupid punk song
  2002 march 23rd
  

Singing to Other Music

I was singing to a reggae song on the radio of CD. I don't remember which. It's very faint.

I recorded this sometime between 2002-03-23 and 2002-05-06. I'll guess April.

Lyrics to "Singing to Other Music":

[scat]

2 3 4

and i'm walking through the forest
and i'm singing in the forest

i got the trees all around
and i know i got the trees all around
i don't know i got the trees all around
don't know [scat]

oh
that's what i get for trying to rely upon other people's music as background
  

Yearbook

I must've been re-reading my yearbooks that day. I wasn't interested in other people's scribblings; I wanted to read what I had written in their yearbooks.

Lyrics to "Yearbook":

a song called "yearbook"

i don't care what other people wrote
what i want is all the things i wrote back

i don't care what other people wrote
all i want is all the things i wrote back

i don't care what other people wrote
all i want is all the things i wrote back

etc.
  

Monitor Stands

This emphasizes how little I value(d) other people's writings in my yearbooks.

Lyrics to "Monitor Stands":

look at these notes from other people's hands
i use yearbooks for monitor stands
  

Brilliant Intro

I have no idea why I woke up in the middle of the night, and why I bothered to record my song idea. I'm glad I said the date, though. I like dates!

Lyrics to "Brilliant Intro":

all right, um
the 4th of december 2000--no
the 5th of december 2002
it's like almost 4 am
but i just woke up with this song idea
and it's something like
  

Brilliant Basement Days

Hmm. Not much brilliance here, at least in the vocal delivery. However, the words are kinda insightful.

I believe that solitude, patience, and a controlled environment are conducive to creativity. Conducive to gems like this!

Lyrics to "Brilliant Basement Days":

  [scat]

alone in my room
i spend my time
brilliant basement days
it's a matter of time

  [repeat]
  

Gollum Voice

I was trying to mimic Gollum from the recent Lord of the Rings movies. I have no idea what I was saying most of the time.

Lyrics to "Gollum Voice":

     ???
  

Ent Voice

I guess I was trying to sound like an Ent.

Lyrics to "Ent Voice":

and then sunday afternoon we were walking down the road
and we saw a ???
???
i will tell you the story of the three bears
there was the papa bear
and the mama
and the little baby bear
and the baby bear was poo poo
poo poo bear was his name
and he
because he was poo poo

so one day he changed ???
and ??? story
except for the next day
the baby bear changed his name back to poo poo
  

Gollum vs Ent

More voices. I guess Gollum and the Ent were having an argument?

Lyrics to "Gollum vs Ent":

???
use this time as an opportunity to you know be productive
???
poo poo
???
  

Autointerview

I had an urge to interview myself about Tripecac. I got bored with it, so started multitasking. It sounds like I was cooking and/or washing dishes.

The dictaphone's battery started dying, resulting in distortion. Oh well.

Lyrics to "Autointerview":

ok today is june 20 2005
interviewing myself

hey so travis, how are you doing?

  oh, i'm ok

how's your music coming along?

  tripecac's pretty good
  best thing about it i think is the web site

oh really?
how about the music?

  music's ok
  i'm just just chugging along
  making lots of albums
  this last wednesday i finished another one
  number 4 for the year so far

4? wow, that's a long a songs

  yeah, it's a lot of songs

are they any good?

  the songs or the albums?

well

  well i would say that on each album
  there's a few moments that are good
  but so far there's not a whole lot of songs
  that are good the whole way through
  there's maybe 1 or 2 exceptions i can think of
  actually there's only one exception that i can think of
  and that's called trail running

oh really?
tell me about that

  it's something that i recorded sort of as a joke
  i was making fun of electronic music, dance music
  and i recorded that in 2001 december
  for some reason it just seems like a focused song
  compared to the other stuff
  and i like it, i really do
  it's probably my favorite
  i think it's the most polished song i have recently

polished, eh?
what about your other songs?
do they need more polish?

  yes i think they need more polish to be good
  like right now they are pretty crummy

oh really?
what does it take to give them more polish?

  probably more time, but i tell you something
  what i like about tripecac
  is the fact that i'm making a lot of music
  i've been recording about 5 albums a year since 2002
  so this is what my 3rd, 4th year of recording at least 5 albums
  you know, that's a lot; that's more than i've ever done in my like
  most of the recorded tripecac material
  is since i came to bellingham which is in 2001
  which is amazing because i had been recording music
  prior to that with my old setup since 1991, a decade
  i've recorded much more in 5 years than i did in the previous 10
  even though back then
  i consider that the height of my musical creativity or whatever

ah, so you're making lots of music
but you're not at the height of your creativity

  that's a good way to put it
  i am very "quantity over quality" these days

oh ok
is that something that bothers you?

  in the back of my mind i'm thinking
  ok how many albums am i gonna make
  before i actually create another song that i like
  on the other hand
  i'm kinda proud to have released so many albums
  and i feel like if i move fast like i am doing
  i usually spend 3 or 4 albums per song

wow that's fast

  i feel like if i can keep on moving fast
  then chances are i'm gonna get lucky
  i'm gonna find some template, some formula
  either as far as the habits of music creating go
  like do i write the lyrics first
  do i do the music first
  do i do the drums first
  the bass, what?
  that's a behavioral template
  i'm sorry, i don't want to get too geeky
  that's a habitual template, let's put it
  and another type of template
  would be a instrumentational template
  that would be the sort of sounds that you use
  i use midi for just about everything
  i use guitar sometimes and voice for maybe 1 or 2 songs per album
  but the vast majority of the notes that you hear are midi
  and my triton keyboard is what is generating the sounds
  so i'm dealing with like fake bass...

ok, i understand, i understand

  anyway, by moving quickly i think i'll have song
  and it will have something a little different from other songs
  or it'll have a nice solo in it
  or a really nice groove
  or the mix will be good
  and i know it's sort of sloppy when i'm doing this
  just quick quick quick quick quick
  but i'm getting nice moments every once in a while
  moments where i listen to it
  and it consistently makes me think: yeah, that's good music
  those moments usually don't last more than a few seconds
  maybe a minute, but certainly not for the duration of a song
  and my hope is that i find some way
  to get those moments to stretch out and last a song
  now i don't know if those moments are good
  simply because they're cheap, they're easy
  if all of this is solos
   then there doesn't have to be any particular plot to it
  there doesn't have to be a memoryable melody or like a chord progression
  or any sort of overall strategy or structure to those series of notes
  it's just winging it
  and it could be that in order for a song in itself to be good
  you need to be able to deal with song structure, song strategy
  in order words: composition
  what i haven't been doing recently is composition
  it's usually just throwing together a bunch of notes
  and looping them
  adding mroe instruments
  and that's what i've been calling making a song
  is it writing music?
  well, it's writing in the sense that
  i'm sketching by cutting and pasting loops around
  but it's not writing in the sense that
  there's no sheet music in the process
  there is no real intention to strategize
  it's really just play a groove

    [scat]

  and then add some drums to it

    [scat]

  and then add organ

    [scat]

  that was pretty bad, so what i would do is
  sometimes i would keep that [scat]
  and just plow through the song
  ending up with a some-good song
  in other words  ending up with a crummy song
  because i was too lazy or carried away or whatever
  too weak to get rid of the [scat]
  even though that element needed to be excised
  in order for the song to be good

  sometimes, however, i will delete the [scat]
  and i'll add something a little bit more musical
  so 2 3 4

    [scat]

  anyway you get the picture
  the bottom line is that i don't remember
  

Puppy Pee

This is a long rant which started off a as "auto-interview" but devolved into silly voices and stories. I think it's very funny at times!

Lyrics to "Puppy Pee":

ok
today is the 17th of february 2006
i'm an old man now
you know, i am 33 years old

someone asked me the other day
they didn't actually
i'm just saying this
because it makes it sound like someone actually talks to me

someone asked me the other day
they said "i hear you're a musician, travis"
and i said "yeah, i like to make songs"
and they say "oh really, really, are you in a bad?"
and i say "no, i just do stuff my myself"
and they say "oh, ok, what do you play?"
and i say "well, all sorts of things really"
and they said "well, do you play guitar?"
and i say "yeah i play a little guitar"
"oh really? you wanna play guitar for me sometime?"
"no"

you can really i'm really characters
both of my characters have exactly the same tone of voice

anyway, let me try this again

my name is travis
  my name is anti-travis
hi, anti-travis, how are you?
  i'm fine
  i have a very distinct voice from you
  that makes me happy
me too
i like having a distinct voice from you
even if i sound a little different from time to time
because travis doesn't know how to consistently make me sound
i guess my voice is supposed to be the effeminate one
my voice is cracking, blaa blaa blaa
  oh poor little thing
  here, let me hold you
no, you're squeezing too tight
  oh, i'm sorry
  i'll just hold you
no
no, i'm being squished

ok, sorry, that devolved
as i was saying
so someone asked me: "so, you play guitar"
i said: "i do a little bit; mostly what i do is keyboards"
and then at that point of course their eyes glaze over
because as everyone know, keyboards are faggy, faggy, faggy instruments
no offense to the fags out there

i should censor myself
no offense to the sensors out there

[crude noise]
no offense to the gaseous people out there

[sigh]
no offense to the sighers out there

  the sires of what?
the sires of sighs
  the size of what?
the size of the world is big today
oh great travis
improvisational expert

anyway, what was i gonna say

[sigh]
no offense to the sighers out there
  the sires of what?
the sires of people who make big sighs
  the size of the world?
yes, the size of the world
  wow i like talking about the size of the world
  it makes me feel like i'm in a big world
well, i would rather be a big fish in a small world
  why do you want to be a fish?
well, you know, it's just a saying
i like to be a, you know, big fish in a sm--
  i don't understand why you want to be a fish
  what's wrong with being a dog?
uh, why are you talking about being a dog?
  you know, a puppy, a little cute puppy
  like to drink from the puddle
  like to pee in the puppy
  like to drink from the puddle with the pee in it
well, that's pretty disgusting, man
why are you talking about that?
  you know, urine is supposed to be nice and
  what do you call it
  not clean
  what do you call it
  not tasty
  not nutritious
  not good for the breath
  not really all that great for the brain cells
are you saying that you've done a lot of research
about the nutritional value of urine?
  i don't know, i'm just talking about:
  i puppy pees in a puddle and licks it up
  yummy!
oh, that's disgusting, man
that's almost as bad as the rabbits who eat their own feces
  oh, that's nasty
  do you really think this is appropriate conversation for a trek cd?
who says this is going on trex?
this is more like straight to mp3 don't even put on a cd
  so there's at least a possibility that travis finds this funny enough
  to put on trex and thus subject every single trex listener to it
well, would would that be?
  giovanna
ok, well, so she's gonna have to listen to this?
  yeah, i think she's got to listen to this
  anyway, so, giovanna, i was just talking about the little dog
  who pees in the puddle and licks the puddle
  he he he
ok, i don't think this is very appropriate
and i might not put it on the cd, ok?
  well, you know, it's cute
  and it can go on the cd because it's kinda cute
well, you might think it's cute
but i think it's a little bit juvenile
  but hey, you know
  because it's cool to be juvenile when you're in your 30s, man
ok but is it also ok to sound like cheech and chong, man?
  yeah, man
ok but like cheech and chong, i think that's so like early 80s
slash like like like late 70s like like like you know

ok as i was saying before i waxed yet again my legs

ok as i was saying before i made a joke
a very bad joke about waxing my lefts

someone asked me": "so what sort of music do you do travis?"
and i said: "it's mostly keyboard stuff"
and that at point their eyes glazed over
and then they started talking about urine in puddles
and i said: "you know, that's disgusting
  why is everyone around me talking about urine in puddles
and then licking it up?"
and they said: "no, i was just talking about urine in puddles
  i wasn't talking about licking up
  just urine in puddles
  i just thought urine in puddles was gross
  although it makes an interesting photograph"
i said: "who wants to photograph of pee in a puddle?"
and they said: "well, there's a whole cluster of images on flickr
  devote to watery urine
  and i figured this would fit that
  you add the keywords water and urine
  and pee for the less mature viewers..."

ok anyways so i was asked by somebody
i'm saying this for the billionth time
"what sort of music do you travis
what do you do with this tripecac stuff of yours"

no, it's just fictional
nobody asks me about tripecac
who am i kidding?
nobody does
nobody
i'm just saying
if i was asked by somebody
not that anybody cares
what sort of music do i do
i would say: "well, i don't know how to classify it"
and at that point their eyes glaze over
and up comes the topic of the urine

no
i'm just saying that
if i say i'm a keyboardist
or i and a one man band
with that tone of voice
people will look at me weird
band
because most people say band
but i have this affliction
where every once in a while i'll just sort of
sort of like you're walking about
and one of your lets is asleep
and you can't really get a good footing
and you just sorta limp for a second
and i say: "i'm a one man band"
and they look at me odd
but it just always happens
i just can't say "one man band"
without feeling that limp kick in
because i just know
i'm just basically announcing myself as some dingbot
with a propeller hat, a snare drum taped to one leg
and a horn and a kaleidoscopic whatever
thingymajig going

  [scat]

you know like one of those polka things
i don't play polka
well, i wish i could
but i don't
'cause i can't
so what my music ends up being
is the path of least resistance
which for me is this weird
it's not weird to me
because it's what comes out when i don't try
sort of like a strange odor
you don't even try
and out comes the tripecac
it has that certain je ne sei stink to it

anyway, no, tripecac comes out the same way
the tripecac gas is the smell of funk, reggae, and jazz
all mixed together in a potent stinky-bomb
it is sort of a bomb in the sense that
every song somehow fails to sound like a real song
every song is like an imitation
of what could be considered a real song

just like this interview
i'm talking to myself
there's no interview
i'm just monogloguing
i can't even maintain the person a person b illusion
i can't even maintain the single tone of voice
i just keep going all over the place
making these weird imiations
and that's what tripecac ends up being
just juvenile, amateur, though enthusiastic
exclamations, improvisions. and groove-i-zations, yeah

no, it's just
i don't know what the word amalgum means
but maybe i can insert that word or find a thesaurus
and copy and paste the correct word over the word amalgum
just insert amalgum and mentally replace it with a correct word
in case that one's not correct

that's tripecac
insert correct bunch of notes here
he's a solo
now imagine if there were a real solo in its place
here's a vocal
imagine if you had a real singer
singing lyrics that were actually written
you know, and not just improvised
here's a groove
imagine a real band is playing it
here's an arrangement of this song
imaging i spent more than half an hour planning it out
you know, here's an album
imagine it has good songs on it
here's this band called tripecac
imagine they do real music
there's a certain amount of imagination that it requires

now if you're comfortable with your brain cell
and you're comfortable with your ability
to smell the urine and see it as nice water as the puppy does
and just go ahead and lap up that puddle
then you're gonna get something out of tripecac
you're gonna get the good stuff, the water
but if all you can do is taste the pee
then you're gonna be like miro
and say yuck, i don't think so, trav
and you're gonna be all dehydrated
not that tripecac is a necessity in anyone's life
but you're not gonna get the little ameoba and the mitochondria
and the other big words that are floating around in that puddle
that can actually help the puppy grow up big and strong
and fight other puppies
you're not gonna be as tough
as you would be if you listened to tripecac
'cause tripecac, it's a man's music
it takes cajones to listen to the tripecac
no seriously, there's some substance, some meat in there
there's some carbon and you just have to
get used to the idea that it's gonna taste a little salty
it's gonna taste a little bit like a puppy went wee-wee in my puddle

you're gonna have to get used to the horrible imitations
and you'll see the beauty of it
you'll see the fact that this puddle is in a valley
and there's snow-capped mountains being reflected in it
and in the puddle there are these little water spiders skittering around
and little snails and life surrounds that puddle
and is shining through it
it's a puddle which is reflecting the beauty of nature
and the puddle shines golden thanks to the puppy
the energetic little puppy

puppy pee
that should be the name of this rant
puppy pee

puppy pee, puppy pee, puppy pee, puppy pee
puppy pee, puppy pee, puppy pee pup
had too much chocolate
puppy pee, puppy pee, puppy pee, puppy pee
puppy pee, puppy pee, puppy pee pup
had too much chocolate
had too much chocolate
[scat]
  

Schtupid

This is very schtupid.

Lyrics to "Schtupid":

i believe your name is schtupid
is your name schtupid?
'cause i believe your name is schtupid
and your mama's name is schtupid

your daddy's name is schtupid
you're mama's name is schtupid
and your grandma, your grandma's name is schtupid too
grandpa's name is schtupid
your aunt and uncle, their name is schtupid
your whole family's name is schtupid
you're schtupid
your family's  schtupid
and your friends is schtupid
all your friends is schtupid
can't believe there's so many people in this world whose name is schtupid
but there you are

when i think humanity has evolved to the point
where schtupidity had died out but it don't
'cause you keep having your schtupid babies
schtupid babies have their schtupid names
just like their schtupid parents
they sit on their schtupid couch
and watch their schtupid care races
and their schtupid sitcoms

they read their schtupid magazines and playboys
and all that schtupid stuff
that i just am too unfamiliar with
to be able to regurgitate on a schtupid tape recorder
made by schtupid americans
in a schtupid, schtupid warehouse

you might think i'm just going on and on in a schtupid little rant
just being negative for schtupidity's sake with this schtupid accent
but i don't feel very schtupid
i tell you i don't feel very schtupid
i feel pretty smart compared to a lot of people in this world
i know, i know everybody in this world feels schmart
compared to everybody else in the world but i feel schmarter

believe me, my name ain't schtupid
my name is schmart
i'm schmart
my mama's schmart
my dadd'y schmart
my sister fart
she kinda the black sheep in the family
she is schtupid
but she's fart
call her fartica
fartica from spartica
she might not be schmart
might not be all there in the head
but she ain't schtupid

aside from schmartica fartica
we got the cousins and my cousins are schtupid
why do my cousins end up being schtupid
'cause my mama ain't schtupid
my daddy ain't schtupid
sister's a little schtupid
but can't win them all
i think she was adopted
from a family whose name was schtupid
fartica schtupid
that's her name
i should have guessed there was something different about her
her name is faritica schtupid
i'm travis schmarty-pants emmitt, she's fartica schtupid
darn it, i wish i could have spotted that
maybe i got a little but of schtupidity in my genes

but i don't think so
'cause my mama's schmart
well maybe not schmart
come to think of it i think my mama's a bit schtupid too
and daddy, talk about schtupidity
my daddy, mister dave "turn the motor" emmitt
he's a bit schtupid

i better rethink thinks a bit here
i think maybe i think i'm smart
but i'm not smart you know
oh no, here's my true accent, it's coming out
this is how i sound when i'm not trying to make a funny voice
i don't think
i'm beginning to th--
i don't think
but i'm beginning to
i'm confused
i don't think
but i'm beginning to think
see, i think i'm smart
but i think everyone else is stupid
but i'm realizing that maybe i'm not so smart
but i'm stupid just like everybody else
really, i think everybody's walking around in their slippers
with a tape recorder
recording what they perceive as being brilliant thoughts
they think they're so smart
and the world's a bunch of mental retarded stupids
but really maybe everybody's just as stupid
as mr. and mrs. stupid over here
and mr. and mr. gay schtupid over there
and mrs. and mrs. lesbian stupid over there
and miss and mrs. nambla stupid over there
actually i think that would be nawbla
but what do i know
i'm pretty stupid aren't it?
and if you're not getting my jokes that's ok
because i don't think my jokes are gettable
they are not gettable

my jokes are edible
but they're not gettable
this is what i do on fridays
i pace the room in my slippers
affecting fancy voices
speaking really loud
with nobody in the crowd
really truly annoying
accents are destroying
any credibility
that my wit would something
vocabulary failing
battery is waning
everything's collapsing
into a sea of stupidity
time to go to work now
time to bore myself now
time to turn off the tape recorder
of course, you're gonna wanna know the date
because you have to categorize everything, don't you travis
you have to put the date for everything
even this

ok fine fine fine fine
i'll give you what you want
i'll give you ???
i'll give you all the accents at once
i'll give you all the accents at once
and then you'll get them all at once
and i'm gonna give you all the accents
i'm gonna give you all the accents at once
and i'm also gonna give you the date
'cause you want the date
'cause you're gonna put this date on this wav or mp3 file
here we go

you're gonna be normal travis
yeah, i'm gonna be normal
i gotta be normal now
i gotta be normal
i'm gonna be normal for the tape recorder
i'm gonna be normal
i'm ok
i've only had one half of a cup of coffee
hee

ok
i'll be normal
i'm give you today's date
but you're having to pull it out of me
like you're having to extract it from me
i know you want the date more than anything
you want me to give you the date
but actually if you're listening to this a 2nd time
you already know the date
unless i don't give it to you
leave it a mystery
no, i don't want to leave it a mystery
that's really stupid
get it?
schtupid
all right

Urinate

Tasteless. But funny at the end.

Lyrics to "Urinate":

i feel the urge to urinate
i feel the urge to urinate
i feel the urge to urinate
to urinate
on your plate
  

Germies

More tasteless "humor", inspired in part by "The Pianist". No offense to germs.

Lyrics to "Germies":

always wash the handsies
you always wash the handsies
you got to wash the handsies
or you will get the germies

you don't want to get the germies
no no don't get th germies
the germies are the baddies
who eat up all your body

you've got to got to wash the handsies
if you don't want to get the germies
germies are the baddies
the germies are the nazis

you've got to got to wash the handsies
'cause you do not want the germies
and the germies are the baddies
they like to kill the jewies

you've got to got to wash the handsies
you don't have the germies
'cause the germies use flamethrowers
to roast all the jewies

you've got to got to wash the handsies
you do not want the germies
to break into your body
and set fire to all your cellies
  

Gerebil

This is a horribly crude a cappella version of "Dad Bday 3", inspired by a rumor about Richard Gere. Yikes.

The title is a combination of "Gere" and "gerbil". If you don't know what I'm talking about, google it.

Lyrics to "Gerebil":

here's a little gerbil for dad on his birthday
for daddy on his birthday
do not insert into r-----
it's a squeaky little mouse and he should be running free
so do not insert into r-----

here's a little cavy for dad on his birthday
do not insert into r-----
it's a squeaky little cavy
and he's squeaking for his foody
so do not insert into r-----

here's a little puppy for dad on this birthday
do not insert into r-----

ok, it's actually ok
you can actually insert into r-----
  

But It's Normal

This is another a cappella ditty. Kinda negative.

Lyrics to "But It's Normal":

well it's normal to be like that
well i'm not a normal cat
and i don't want to tolerate
lazyiness, deceipt, and hate

but it's normal to be like that
well i'm not a normal cat
and i don't want to tolerate
all that crap that's piled on his plate
  

Looks Humor Accents

Silly.

Lyrics to "Looks Humor Accents":

where did my looks go
where did my looks go
i think my looks disappeared about 3 years ago
it was about the time i met giovanna
giovanna

where did my humor go
my humor
my humor disappeared about 5 years ago
when i moved to bellingham
ham ham

where did my accent go
my accent is very bad
i can't do the impressions anymore
because i haven't practiced
i need to practice my impressions more  
i really need to practice my impressions more  

i feel a little bit uncomfortable discussing with you
my inability to practice the impressions
because i think it makes me feel insecure
to discuss the fact that i cannot practice my impressions anymore

i think i would prefer to be quiet now
i must say the date
i always must say the date
when i record into the tape recorder

the date is the 19th of october 2006

this is a recording
hello, come again
chingie chonga
mama mia patsaria

i like to dance in italia
dancing down the street in italia
  

Installation Advisory

I guess I was getting ready to install XP. I was making fun of outsourcing of tech support.

Lyrics to "Installation Advisory":

if windows is already installed
it's not advisable to install xp
why? because
let's try it again

  [fake german]

it is not advisable to install xp after installing linux
that's because linux, linux, linux is a taco burrito
a taco burrito, taco burrito every day

it is not advisable to install the xp after installing the linux
and the reason i say this
is if you install the linux and then install the xp
what is likely to happen is that you will encounter an error
when you try to install the xp after installing the linux
the error will indicate you've had an error
installing xp after installing linux
thank you come again
  

Common

This makes fun ot people who sleep, eat, and watch tv. Well, I do two of the three. Does that make me common?

Lyrics to "Common":

what do the tv and the sleeping have in common
the common people eating and a sleeping all the time
let's try it again

what do the tv and the sleeping have in common
the common people eating and a sleeping all the time

what do the tv and the sleeping have in common
the common people sleep and eat much tv all the time

what do the sleeping and the tv have in common
the common people sleeping and a tv all the time

what do the sleeping eating tv have in common
the common people sleep and eat the tv all the time
  

Meridian Sucks

This complains about Meridian, which is a very traffic-laden road, horrible for bicycling.

Lyrics to "Meridian Sucks":

meridian sucks so much so much
meridian sucks so much

meridian sucks so much so much
meridian sucks so much
