Notes
This is an immediate sequel to Waiting, picking up a few days later and continuing into 2006. It adheres to the same theme (waiting) and instrumentation (guitar and vocals recorded with a dictaphone) as the previous album, so ends up sounding familiar.
There are two new themes: stinkiness and consumerism. One of our rooms was (not mine) putrid for several weeks; I sang about it repeatedly. I also became aware that some people actually like to shop; I'm definitely not one of them, and get stressed whenever I have to make a purchase. Poor me.
Well, not really, if you think about it.

This song had lots of false starts and retakes. I kinda stitched them together. Sorry if they don't fit perfectly.
On the plus side, I like the garage rock feel.
Lyrics to "Lost":
i'm lost and i don't it i'm lost and i don't know when to quit so i keep on going i keep on going i keep on going i keep on going again 1 2 ready 4 i'm lost and i don't it i'm lost and i don't know when to quit but i keep on going i keep on going i keep on going i keep on going let's try this again a little faster now here we go i'm lost but i don't look like it i'm lost 'cause i do n't know when to quit but i keep on going i keep on going i keep on going and i keep on going again i'm lost and i don't know where to go i'm lost but ??? but they say keep going keep going keep going keep going and you'll get there and you'll get there and you'll get there i'm lost but i don't look like it i'm lost but i don't look like it i'm lost and i think that i should quit i'm lost and i guess i feel like s--t but i keep on going i keep on going i keep on going and i keep on going all the time all the time all the time all the time i'm lost but i don't look like it i'm lost and i don't know when to quit but i keep on going and i keep on going and i keep on going and i keep on going like a clock tick tick tick tick... i'm lost and i don't know where to go i'm lost but i guess it doesn't show they say keep going just keep going keep on playing keep on punching in they seem to have a different impression of me well this is backwards, more like how pathetic i something try it again 1 2 and a something something something something getting a little lost here they're lost but they don't know when to quit i can see their strategies are sick they keep on going and they keep on wasting time oh my god that's pathetic

In case you're wondering, I think the culprit ended up being some rotten food left in a backpack or closet.
Lyrics to "Stinky Complaining":
man this hallway stinks oh god darn it, it stinks in here see i have to keep the door so i can tell when someone comes home but the door to richard's room smells so bad it's just horrid in there oh it smells so bad it's gonna make me throw up i'm not exaggerating either if anyone else were standing here they're feel similar ugh, i just gotta shut the door; it's disgusting all right, maybe i'll turn a song out of this

This total improv is based on a stench. It's melodic but dumb. Not all the chord changes work.
Lyrics to "Stinky Interruption":
why does it have to smell so bad why does it have to make me sad is there something wrong with me a heightened sensitivity is there something in our head perceptions best left unsensed i know that doesn't sound right the cell phone is ringing something something ring ring goes the cell phone 2000 pagers in my head saying pick it up travis pick it up, stop playing music instead there's the home phone now pick it up you silly cow 'cause if you don't she'll just ring back but i am playing my f--king guitar now i'm tired of the interruptions i want my isolation for a couple hours a week yes, i'm playing my guitar now do i look like i want an interruption do i look like i want an interaction please ask me with your brain

Catchy chorus, bad guitar. Lack of patience.
Lyrics to "Have to Do":

Short and stupid. Again, though, there's a kind of simple-minded catchiness that redeems it.
Lyrics to "Stinky Door":

This muddy dirge starts horribly, but then somehow becomes pretty and catchy. The chords and harmonies are intriguing, in a shoegazing kind of way.
It was recorded between 2005-07-11 and 2005-07-23.

This was too fast, but sets up the next song ("She Shops").
Lyrics to "Shop Too Fast":
i'm waiting for giovanna to get back from dropping him off at dale's and shopping she's always shopping i must admit she shops all day, she never quits it's like shopping is her life and so shopping is her life shopping is her life i cannot sustain that tempo i need to slow it down a bit

This is based on a blues cliche. It starts off very sloppy, but gets better.
Lyrics to "She Shops":
she shops all day she shops all night it seems like or on the computer she shops all day she shops all night and when she's done shopping she's talking about shopping she buys all day she buys all night she bought me this bass line i think it's okay but i can't sing and i can't play no way no way i play all day i play all night but i don't get better i don't play right she shops all day she shops all night she doesn't get better she doesn't do right well i can play or i can sing but i don't think i can do both things at the same time unless i'm lucky she shops all day she shops all night who cares if i don't rhyme who cares if i don't [scat] i play all day i play all night i play all day i play all night i need a drink i will play better i need a drink i can't ??? i cannot play ??? i cannot sing and play at the same time i cannot do it i can't get better it doesn't matter how many hours i put into it but that's not true it's just not true 'cause i have learned that if you put hours into it you will get better remember the song the key is keep trying i'll be ok i'll be all right 'cause i'll keep playing all day and all night i'll keep practicing on the guitar i keep waiting for her car she shops all day she shops all night but that's ok but that's all right because it gives me time with the guitar and pretty soon i'll be ok i'll be ok i'll be all right i'll playing all day and all night go and while she shops i will play while she looks on ebay and while she shops i will play while she hunts and bids on ebay i prefer amazon i like the safety on i prefer amazon i like the safety on it's hard work repeating things that are stupid like that but it's ok 'cause i'll get better i'll keep on playing the guitar i will practice and you will see i will improve i will ??? she shops all day she shops all night that's ok that's all right 'cause i will play all day and all night and i'll get better you'll see i'm right you'll see i'm right you'll see i'm right you'll see i'm right [scat]

Lyrics to "Slinging Differently":
this is the same day by the way i don't what i'm gonna do with these tapes once i digitize them i guess there's not really any real reason for me to hang onto them i'm slinging my guitar a little differently now it's not just hanging up over my neck this is probably the correct way to play it ??? i've been screwing up most of the time i don't know what i'm gonna play i just change the sound of the pod here i go

This long improv is lyrically and musically pretty boring, except for the "I gotta be" bit, which is kinda catchy.

This was my final attempt to make something interesting on the tape. It's pretty bad.

This is a pure improv. It gets kinda cool with the [fake] bass line and the main chorus. The lyrics are decent too.
Lyrics to "Hygiene":

this is called the one minute minute just a minute i'll give you a minute in a minute just a minute i'll give you a minute in a minute i must admit it this is a really bad minute they're try this again take 2 just a minute i'll give you a minute in a minute just a minute you'll get your minute in a minute just a minute you'll get your minute in a minute just a minute you'll get your minute in a minute so many minutes in a day how come so few are for play so many minutes in a day how come i spend them this way just a minute i'll give you a minute in a minute just a minute i'll give you a minute in a minute ok here's a minute whatcha gonna tell me whatcha gonna talk about whatcha gonna do here's your minute tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock there's a yellowjacket outside just a minute [scat] in a minute i wonder if there are yellowjackets in the roof is'a minute it's going kinda long don't you think long minute but the chord progression thinks i'll give you your minute when the car pulls into the driveway i'll have to take off the minute and give you another couple seconds but then i gotta turn off the tape recorder 'cause she'll be home soon when i see her car i gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go zoom here's your minute it's more like 2 or 3 minutes it's a minute well, maybe a hippopatamus minute it's a minute i don't know what else to say where's that car [sigh] she's late again she's late that is the pattern she's late again today she said she's only work about an hour it ended up being 6 and a half hours do you call that efficiency i don't, but what do i know, 'cause that's a minute it's a gigantic minute i still see yellowjackets flying around outside and there's the car, bye
