What Will They Try Next? (#47)

Source here. Originally recorded on March 20, 1997.

The first 15 minutes or so end up featuring some really aggravating squeaky distorted murmuring. I'm not sure if this was us or some found recording, but please do speed past that part into much more interesting stuff. Not so many vocals in this one, but a good mix of hi and lo fi awaits the intrepid listener.

1. Hipster or Eastern European?
2. Transmission from the planet dorkwad
3. Bells and Peals
4. We're in my house goofing on the four track come on over
5. A Confusing Wall
6. A very very white dub
7. Overwrought Synthesizer Theme
8. The numbing isn't working
9. The cartoon orchestra performs the hits
10. Burroughs and Clavinova
11. Shoot the piano player, please
12. Today is going to be the day for saxophones
    
13. Hands on the home row

While this doesn't have a definite theme, it's pretty clear here that we're trying to do more with less. It's low density layering, focusing on the juxtaposition of two or three elements. It's good stuff, with storytelling, instructional, and singing examples with plenty of ambient background.

1. Thunder's just a lot of noise
2. Why is there always accordion? It makes the dogs upset
3. Large Bees/Dirt Bikes used for travel
4. Twitchy mice flee dogs via jet plane
5. Naturalment
6. Bad News Horse
7. BLAM
8. Sew What?
9. Beating on the Strings
10. Worst. Ballad. Ever.
11. Everything's going to be just smooth
12. A spooky pronunciation guide
13. I devour metal guitarists
