about

More of a spoken-word interlude, this is what I pulled off a tape-recorder I purchased for like, $31 at Wal-Mart. We had fun with it, recording everything we could, then we'd hold the cassette head to make it al wobbly, until it stopped.

January 7, 2014

lyrics

[guitar plays, low humming]

Well, we're in the Walmart parking after the maybe best, worst impulse buy ever
For the record it is January 27 2014, and we're recording on a cassette tape
On a cassette tape, like

Yeah, we're just having a smoke, and we're uh trying out this new tape recorder we got Walmart

You guys know that there are digital stuff out there, right?
Yeah, and we actually have some of the best digital audio recorders out there,

These tape recorder boxes were probably sitting in Walmart for, oh I don't know, 6, almost a year

All our music's gonna sound like shit
This is gonna be the dumbest podcast, like literally whoever's listening to this

In the future, this could probably be someone's new impulse buy
Like, oh yeah, I just paid $10,000
The circle of life
I just paid $10,000 to listen to two 20 year olds drive around

I was about to say, how are gonna listen to this, and then I saw, oh wait no, you can listen to it on the actual tape recorder

Oh hey, I have an old REM cassette tape
Actually, I went to Amoeba and bought two cassette tapes

*distorted*
we're live

[Guitar]

[Guitar Take 2]

Oh shit dude

"Satisfaction by Rolling Stones"

Yeah Mama, this surely is a dream
