Notes

This is yet another set of guitar jams, recorded on a warbly tape.

The semi-title song ("Warble Guitarble") is probably the highlight. The rest of the tracks are messy and often annoying improvs.

There's not much wit or melody here, just lots of geeky noise making.

Songs

Buyer's Remorse

This is a very warbly, sloppy lament about buying a new computer.

I'm not sure about the date. The intro says it's the 29th, but later in the song I said it was the 28th. When I go back through my records, I see that I ordered parts on both the 28th and 29th! So I'm picking the 29th, on the assumption that the song was trying to pretend it was still the 28th. Not that it really matters!

Lyrics to "Buyer's Remorse":

today's the 29th of march
giovanna's coming home any second
and of course as soon as she pulls in the driveway
i've got to turn off the guitar
so i gotta keep this really short
um you know this tape doesn't sound very good but

only got 5 minutes
to tell you how i feel right now
the biggest thing in my life
is the fact that today i ordered the

it's the it's the 28th of march, 28th of march, ok

to-today i went ahead and ordered a computer
half of it came from multiwave
the other half came from newegg
and a little from amazon

in all cost about a thousand dollars
in case you didn't hear me, that's 2 thousand dollars
it's not very fun to spend that much
especially blaa blaa

especially on replacement
that's likely to only last a couple years

all i hope is that it will be stable
all i hope
all i hope
i just hope that it will be stable
i just hope that it will actually last all of 5 years
and i hope i don't get electrocuted as i put it together
i spent a lot of money and a lot of time searching for parts
and hopefully i'll feel better
when it comes in the mail
and i take the time to put it together
and turn it on

in a couple weeks i might be using it
but i hope

now that i ordered it, i don't really care

and i feel like i just spent too much money on
something that i marginally need
will the money pay for all the picture proofing that i need
oh this is awful

'cause i had to give up the ide
i had to switch to agp to pci-e
i had to give up my old component
give up the swapability
give up 2 thousand dollars
just to have something that may or may not last 5 years

but i guess i can always tell myself
that i make the same stressful decision
every couple of years

or in the case of this year, twice
'cause i already assembled giovanna's computer in january
and here i am doing another one in march
jeez
i gotta go now, she's here
  

Warble Guitarble

This is very warbly, but kinda catchy once it gets going. The lyrics are funny, if you know the characters involved!

Lyrics to "Warble Guitarble":

do you hear that warbliness? i hate it
i think the tape recorder's dying
today is the 29th of march 2 thousand and 70 77
which is a long time from today
today is so far in the future that i can't even picture it
warble
i need a better tape recorder
the name of this song is warbly guitar
warble warble guitarble
warble guitarble
warble guitarble

warble guitarble had a mess in the woods
warble guitarble liked the sweep the sidewalks
warble guitarble was dropped on the head as baby
warble guitarble had a son named jodie

and one day jodie said daddy warble, can i be a girl
and warble guitarble just collapsed and fainted
'cause he always wanted to have a girl
but the boy he had was just too boyish

warble guitarble said ok jodie you can be a girl
so jodie went to the doctor
and snip snip snip she/he became a girl
warble guitarble was so proud of his little girl

unfortunately during jodie's operation
she was dropped on her head just like her dad

warble guitarble and jodie were quite a pair
they had a combined iq of 32

warble guitarble died one day and jodie inherited the broom
that's where she's now, in warble guitarble's room
[scat]

so one day you might see jodie guitarble sweepin'
and one day you might see jodie guitarble glug-glug-glugging
and one day you might see jodie guitarble missing the bus
and one day you might see jodie talking to me

jodie guitarble is my hero of the week
jodie guitarble well she was a he
but shen she got snipped and now she just sweeps

i can't think of anything else to sing about her
except jodie had another brother, that's true
and the other brother is known to me and known to you

the brother's name was downie
turn that smile upside downy
and you get a frowny

that was a waste of time
and i bet it's really warbly too!


  

Going for a Bike Ride

Echo galore, choppy rhythms, hard to sustain.

Lyrics to "Going for a Bike Ride":

same day obviously

hey we're going for the bike ride
we're going for the bike ride
we're gonna meet after work
we're gonna meet after work

we're going, going for the bike ride

we're gonna meet after work
and we're going for a bike ride
and and we come home early

hey

well that's about as much i can play of that
  

Going to the UPS

More of the same choppiness. I think I was listening to a lot of Minutemen back then.

Lyrics to "Going to the UPS":

momentarily catchy
but then the typical travis chaos comes in
not chaos as in complexity
more chaos as in inept, inept lack of ability

so we're going to the ups
looking for a package before 6
gotta leave in 16 minutes to make it there
it's 3:44
yeah
that was bad
  

Anglofetish

Talking about my love of English music.

Lyrics to "Anglofetish":

you know, these songs they're so short because i have no stamina
i know there's better bands out, i mean
i'm sure there are better bands our there in the world than trex
i'm sure there exists some band out there
who has a little bit more talent than me
yeah
i'm positive that such an artistic body exists somewhere in the universe
no what i was gonna say is the minutemen did really short, choppy songs
so did wire
now, i like wire more than the minutemen
because wire's british and the minutemen are american
and i have an anglofetish
and that's the name of this song, it's called anglofetish
except that doesn't sound very anglo, does it?
i don't think there's anything i can do on guitar
which is gonna make you think of england
you're more likely to think of some high school band room jam in the back
you know if there's anything good about these recordings
it's they show how cool the pod pro is and how uncool i am
'cause all the coolness comes from the pod pro
and all the annoying bits come from me
all right, i gotta finish this tape
  

I Was Punk

This one pokes fun at all the self-proclaimed hardcore "punks".

Lyrics to "I Was Punk":

oi oi i'm from england
oi and australia
oi oi oi am i convincing
oi oi oi

oh yeah that sounds like the sexy pistols

i was 4 when the sexy pistols had their day
i was 4 and about 5000 miles away
i was 4 and eating peas and wearing clothes that mom made
i was 4 when the sexy pistols were getting laid

[scat]

i was 4 when the clash released their album
and i was 4 when punk was the thing
and i was 4 and eating peas and wearing sheets
i was punk and punk and punk punk in my crib

i was more punk than all them sheep wearing safety pins
i was punk punk punk at 4 years old

because i was wearing peas in my hair
and i was wearing spaghetti on my sister's face
we were punky, punky poo

i was wearing ripped up clothing that my mom sewed back together
i was so punk you could barely tell that i was punk
because i rebelled against the punk fashion stereotypes
i was punk, so punk you could barely tell that i was punk

when i was 4

i was punk, punker than then punks in the uk or the usa
i was punk, because i was a blond boy in germany
i was punk, like can was punk, even before the sex pistols existed
i was punk

i was punker than punks ever could be
i was punk and you couldn't see the punk in me
because i was so punk i hid it
i rebelled against this necessity to display the punkhood

instead of wearing spiky hair
instead of being 17 or 16 or 15 years old
i was only 4
  

Gotta Go Soon

Another choppy, unsustainable groove.

Lyrics to "Gotta Go Soon":

it's march the 29th 2007
i have about 3 minutes and then i gotta go get on the bike
and meet giovanna at her work
and then we're gonna go to the ups store and pick up a package
i've got 3 minutes
i've got to improvise something interesting
and then i gotta go

ok any minute now i gotta start doing something interesting

gotta go, go soon
i gotta go soon
i gotta go soon
i gotta go soon

i hope i get lucky with a chord soon
because this really stinks
i gotta go soon
that means this is gonna be short

i bet that makes you happy
i hope only lasts a couple minutes
'cause i go soon

'cause i gotta go soon
i gotta go in about a minutes
that's all i can spare for you
'cause i gotta go soon

and i, i've not improved
and i gotta go soon
and i gotta go soon
and i gotta go soon
and i gotta go now
  

Facilitate

This break from work is the next day. It's a sloppy warmup. I edited out the really annoying bits.

Lyrics to "Facilitate":

30th of march 2007
1 something in the afternoon
work is busy
i'm getting imed
so what do i to
to facitil facilitilitate my work
to facicilcitate my work

go into the other room
and i pick up the guitar
that's how i facilitate

go into the other room
and i pick up the guitar
that's how i facilililililililitate

ok this is with the pick
and this is with my thumb
this is with my fingernail

facilililililililili...
that's just noise

facilililililililili facilitate
gotta facililililitate
yikes that just sounds awful
  

Incoherent Coolness

Just making noise. This is another of those songs where I say "fortunately, it's short".

Lyrics to "Incoherent Coolness":

this is called incoherent coolness
i mean it sounds really cool
like really heavy and all
but it's incoherent
it doesn't make any sense
and when it does make sense
you know you realize you're stuck with my stupid
my my inability to play
personally i think the pick is impersonal
god it's too loud
  

Handsome Creatures

Crisp guitar, but silly lyrics.

Lyrics to "Handsome Creatures":

that has a nice handsome delay to it
no i didn't say hanson as in the hanson brothers, oh my god
why would i refer to a band that was stupid in the 90s?

the cowboy drew his gun
he pointed it at the girl and said this will be fun
travis why are your all [babble]
and he wondered why
oh jesus just shut up travis

hey travis, why are so many of your songs about violence?
why do they involve killing helpless creatures?
and i say oh i'm sorry about killing helpless creatures
i'll change the topic; how about that?

instead of killing creatures let's just torture creatures
the more helpless they are, the more pleasure
instead of killing creatures let's just torture little creatures
the more helpless they are, the more pleasure

yeah
the music was about as weak as the premise
  

Wore Out Your Welcome

This is a long, semi-humorous jam about drunk driving.

Lyrics to "Wore Out Your Welcome":

wore out your welcome
thank you you're welcome
wore out your welcome
thank you you're welcome

do the polite thing now
do the right thing now
do the polite thing now
do the right thing now

thank you you're welcome
you wore out your welcome
thank you you're welcome
you wore out your welcome

do the right thing now
do the polite thing now
do the right thing now
grab your keys and drive home

'cause you wore out your welcome
thank you you're welcome
you wore out your welcome
thank you you're welcome

do the cool thing now
don't do the cruel thing now
do the cool thing now
don't do the cruel thing now

you know you wore out your welcome ah ha
thank you you're welcome ok
you know you wore out your welcome ah ah
thank you you're welcome ok

get in your car and put on your seatbelt
you've drunk too much tonight
you've got to be as safe as you can

wore out your welcome
now you're wearing out your tires
speeding home on the interstate
'cause you've got to pee really bad
and you're driving drunk
and you're barely staying on the road
but guess what, you're saving face
and you're heading home to your nice place

'cause you wore our your welcome
thank you you're welcome
you wore our your welcome
and now you're driving home

what's that light behind me
i see the red and blue
what's that light behind me
uh oh i hear sirens too

the police are behind me
and i'm drunk as a skunk
and i'm almost home now
should i floor it and ??? slam dunk

i wore out my welcome
i wore out my welcome
and now i am flying
from the pigs behind me

uh oh uh oh uh oh uh oh
my car is having trouble now
i didn't anticipate this
oh i see why
one foot is one the gas
and the other's on the brake
i guess my body feels ambivalent
ok gosh what happened to my momentum here?
the sirens are drowning
and all the other noises are just killing my ears
it's just awful
oh gosh i feel nauseaus; i think i'm gonna puke
and oh my god, i almost hit that railing
ok just gotta take my foot off of one of these things
do i take it off the gas or do i take it good the brake
i've got to make a decision 'cause the car isn't sounding real good right now
it's vibrating a lot
oh god
the police; there's now 3 cars and they're all around me
i think i need to make a decision
let's floor it

we can do it
we can get home
we can do it
we can save face

i'm dead now and you know why?
'cause i drank too much
and my instinct was to fly all because
and say it with me now 1 2 3

i wore out my welcome [cough]
yes, thank you you're welcome
i and now i'm in heaven
all because i was too embarassed to stay

i am dead
'cause i wore out my welcome
  

Boxes

This melodic improv is sloppy but kinda funny.

Lyrics to "Boxes":

i've got boxes in the garage
so i give 'em away
and i get more boxes for the garage
and i know some day i'll give them away

i've got boxes
in the garage
and some day
i'll give 'em away
and i bet you're wondering
what was in those boxes
and i bet you are wondering
if i'm gonna throw them away

how do i make sure
that nothing's in the boxes anymore?
and if i'm making sure
wouldn't it be nice
if i accidentally
put the guitar in a box
and throw it away
and throw it away
and throw it away
why not today?
  

Power Chords

I edited out most of the effects fiddling. This is still a mess.

Lyrics to "Power Chords":

that hurt my hands, you know
it certainly didn't hurt my brain
it didn't put a lot of stress on the brain
it wasn't all that demanding
but then again none of my guitar playing is very demanding not mentally

you know, power chords hurt my hands
this song is called the power chord that killed my hand
power chord that killed my hand

so i'm playing a power chord
that anyone can play
so i'm playing a power chord
in a 4/4 way

come on we're playing our power chords
in the simplest way
it's the simplest way
to play guitar

come on now

playing a power chord
in the simplest way
playing the power chord
in the simplest way

everyone knows power chords
are simple to play simple to play simple to play

playing a power chord
in the simplest way
playing a power chord
something i can do today

playing a power chord
with a pick in my band
playing a power chord
like a high school rock band

playing a power chord
in the simplest way
oh fart the lyrics

ouch it hurts my hand
to play those power chords
and guess what
just about all i can do on the guitar is

1 2 3 4

playing the power chords
in the most obnoxious way
playing the power chords
make the neighbors run away

playing the power chords
waste of electricity

playing the ah
i'm just getting disgusted with it, you know
with my ineptness
  

Preacher Bob

This is tasteless and dumb.

Lyrics to "Preacher Bob":

you know i keep the tape recorder just in case i get lucky
and stumble across a cool riff
but you know it doesn't happen
cool riffs just don't happen, not with travis at the helm

somewhere up in the sky there's a god
god wants you to know it's ok to play a little slow

the one's called preacher bob likes choirs boys
preacher bob likes the choir boys
to come to his special chamber after work

ok this is the serious song
it's a very serious song
hopefully it's the last one
but i've said that before today haven't i
the name of this song is called preacher bob does it again

preacher bob
preacher bob
can i come to your house tonight?
preacher bob
can i come to your house tonight?
said the little boy
and preacher bob picked up the little boy's hand
turned the hand over and gave it a smack with his lips
and he said
little boy, little boy, you can come over any time
you can come over to my chamber and we'll have a good time
little boy, come over to my chamber
little boy, little boy, will you touch my chamber
little boy, little boy, little boy, little boy, little boy

preacher bob
the ballad of preacher bob

preacher bob, preacher bob
will you let me touch your door knob
preacher bob, preacher bob
will you let me finger your door knob

i wanna come inside your chamber

preacher bob, preacher bob
will you let me touch your door knob
preacher bob, preacher bob
can i come inside your chamber

preacher bob, preacher bob
will you let me touch your door knob
preacher bob, preacher bob
will you let me come inside your chamber

the ballad of preacher bob part x

way up in the woods there lived a man
every sunday he'd drive to town in his van
they called him a preacher during the week
but behind his back some people called him a creep

he was preacher bob
he, he had a bad habit

preacher bob, preacher bob
will you touch my door knob

all right, i've got this thing stuck in my head
it's better than having a thing stuck in another place

1 2 3 4

oh preacher bob
will you let me touch your door knob
and preacher bob
will you let me come inside your chamber

preacher bob
you're the sexiest man in town
and i know a lot of men
who would like to be with 3 year old boys like me

oh preacher bob
will you touch my door knob
preacher bob
can i come inside your chamber

i've had enough
  

Another Chord

Should've stopped earlier. But I couldn't help myself! Eventually this gets melodic.

Lyrics to "Another Chord":

all right
this is absolutely nuts but yes i'm back, the same day
i'm dressed to go to fairhaven
got my jacket on, got my wallet and keys
i'm ready to go, mind you, 100% ready to go
and what do i do?
like an idiot
i go towards the musical instrument room

i need to find another chord
and i need to find another chord
i need to find another chord
i need to find another chord

so i stumbled upon a power chord
and it wasn't that bad
the nice thing about the power chord, oh gosh
is it's logical

you can apply it again and again and again and again
the power chord
it's based on transposition
so with a little repetition

you can make entire songs out of power chords
1 5 4 and 1 5 4

all the young guitarists know the power chord
but i'm not so young
and the power chord is just about all i know
on guitar but i'm having fun

since when has ability entered into the equation
for my music; it's all about the fun
i'm not talking about hedonistic social activity
oh i'm the only one

so it's ok if all i can play is a power chord
as long as i have fun
the music it will be all right
as long as i have fun

the music i can play all day
as long as i have fun
ha ha ha

so what am i playing now? it's not a power chord
but there's permutations
i think i'm holding the last 4 or 5 strings
and i, i just continue to strum

i have no idea what chord this is
but it's ok when i play
'cause it's play, this is just play
it's not work, i'm done with that today

this is play, ah ha ha
ha ha ha, ha ha ha

so tonight we're gonna eat some pho
well that's the plan
and i hope it happens
gonna go to trek video and get a good movie
something better than documentaries

last night we watched persuit of happiness
directed by an italian, starring will smith
it was ok, a rags to riches story ok
the acting was good but the writing was poor

it made me think am i just like that guy and his stink
looking for a niche
i do not think so 'cause i do not have a kid
and i'm not married to a beach

ha ha ha

do you like my humor; i make it up as i go along
can you tell?  ha ha ha
i like to laugh at my own jokes; that's why some of these lines
end with ha and ha ha ha

i am sure if i were more egotistical
i would end with testerostonie ???
uh uh uh i'm a man
and i grunt with power whenever i can

i'm a man, a very cool man
i like to wear my pants half way down my fanny
i'm a man, i sound like a man
and i get the girls to clean up after me whenever i can

'cause i'm a man

ok, that's it
  

Muse Addiction

Finally we end for the day. What a pointless racket! It eventually evolves into an almost-catchy riff. So much of Trex is "almost-catchy", isn't it? Well, I guess that's what keeps me going.

Lyrics to "Muse Addiction":

i really have to go in to fair-
uh oh, what am i doing, travis?
i'm picking up the guitar again seconds after putting it down
for what i hoped would be the last time
i've got no willpower, do i?
but i've got stink power

all right let me give myself 'til 5:42
it's 5:40 right now so i've got 2 minutes

all right i've wasted about half a minute

gonna go to fairhaven
gonna get a video
gonna check the mailbox
gonna go to the grocery store

just gotta put down the guitar
gotta turn off the pod pro
gotta turn off the tape record
gotta get my a-- in gear

gonna check for netflix
gonna get a video
gonna check for magazines
gonna find bread if i can

tonight we're gonna drink some pho
or maybe eat some pho
or maybe play with pho
or just refrigerate pho

i really got to go
not gonna look at the clock
i think i've gone over
but it's okay if i do not look at the clock

do not look at the clock

just gonna turn my head
gonna avert my gaze
do not look at the led
staring back at me

some people are addicted to food
some people are addicted to drugs
i think i'm addicted to music
i guess that's ok

i guess if i couldn't function
couldn't perform my duties
couldn't take a job or anything
then i would have a bad addiction

i think that's it

that was my song
muse addiction

  

Our Goal

Short and kinda cute.

Lyrics to "Our Goal":

last day of march
31st march two thousand and fourty seventy million and six and two
and ninety nine and onety one
two thousand and onety one

so our goal is to go for a walk today

our goal is to go for a walk today
where we'll go i cannot stay
our goal is to go for a hike today
i can't wait to see my baby

she's home
that's the end of the song
  

Monkey Maven

This pokes fun at the "elitist" ladies on the guinea pig forum.

The reprise wasn't really necessary. But then again, what Trex is?

Lyrics to "Monkey Maven":

3rd march
no 3rd april 2007

can you telluh that i've been listening to the fall
it's not a very fall-like lyric
can you telluh that
i don't know how to do it man
gotta think about it

can you telluh that i've been listening to the fall
[scat]

guinea lynx sucks
it's a bunch of old hens
guinea lynx sucks

hen pecked with a post
hen pecked and then they boast

hen pecked by a bunch of couch potato mavens
ethical mavens
guinea pig mavens
alone in their havens

hen pecked, chastised
i'm not doing anything wrong in my eyes

hen pecked, picked on
by a bunch of overweight middle aged guinea pig

Faramir Is Here

Another computer, another song about getting a computer.

Lyrics to "Faramir Is Here":

all right
it is april the 5th
i anticipate that you're not gonna to be hearing much of me
because the new computer has arrived
i have built most of it
i still need to put the sound card in
and then give it an operating system
but i have assembled it
the new computer's name is faramir
i'm sticking to the tolkein theme
i'm picking male tolkein characters
i haven't been gutsy enough to pick any females yet
in the past i've thought about shelob
but s i've already used for saruman, strider, sharkey
anyway, faramir is here

it would help if i tuned

it would help if i tuned
and i tuned in my room
it would help if i tuned
and i tuned in my room

it didn't work did it
i'm out of tune

it would help if i tuned

it would help if i tuned
and i tuned in my room
got a new computer
it's a new mouth to feed

got a new computer
it's a new mouth to feed
got a new cd
with new data to read

got a new monitor
no no not really
still using the same 
19 inch crt

just saw the ups guy
drop off a package
it's the sound card
for faramir

i bet it's the sound card
for faramir
it's time to install it
and then vista

this is really boring

this is really boring
'cause i can't sing
nor play guitar
nor much of anything

well that was nice and loud
  

Sound Cardorific

My mind was somewhere else.

Lyrics to "Sound Cardorific":

one last song and then i gotta go install the sound card
this is called sound cardorific

it's the last piece in my puzzle you know
gotta install a sound card
it's the last piece in the

geeky punk?
no just geeky junk

it's the last piece in the puzzle
and then i install ???

i've got a sound card
and the responsibility to ???

i've got a sound card
and the responsibility to install it
i've got a sound card
and the responsibility to install it

oh joy joy joy joy, installing vista
joy joy joy, gonna waste a lot of time
learning another operating system
uh uh uh the uh pleasure is mine

to be honest i don't want to install vista
i do not want another microsoft os
i just would rather stay with linux
i like ubuntu the best

enough

gotta go install a sound card
   

Quiet Coda

This was very quiet because it was late at night. I snipped out the really negative bits.

Lyrics to "Quiet Coda":

ok
9th of april 2007
it's like 9 o'clock at night
it's not a good time for me to be playing guitar
i will have to be playing very quietly

installed the new computer
i guess it's doing ok
vista is not perfect
it's called vista anyway

so the new computer is slowly taking over the roles
of the old computer

they're annoyed at the john adams
and thomas jeffersons and intellectuals
and ultra-active thinkers and doers of the world
'cause those thinkers and doers always have an agenda
whereas a fun person doesn't have any preference
he's just opportunistically
eating that grapes that other people are feeding hime
getting fatter and fatter

bachus bachus
bachus bachus
king bachus
bachus bachus

nobody likes john adams because he was so serious
he did all the thinking for everybody
he did all the worrying
he did all the analyzing

but john adams keeps going, doesn't he?
ben franklin keeps going, doesn't he?
thomas jefferson keeps going, doesn't he?
