Electric Garage Demos:
SUPPORT PURE INDIE MUSIC! |
||
Intro
The concept for this label came out of the old garage days of music, where bands would practice in garages, and record their stuff on some TASCAM 4 track. They would then proceed to replicate their tapes on a “duplicator”, like their parents dual tape stereo. On occasion, they would venture to a “Local studio” – usually in someone’s bedroom or trailer, and make their demo. Sometimes they would “spurge” and buy a bulk of these cheep white 99 cent tapes, and maybe some cheep flimsy plastic covers to mass produce their stuff.
This MP3 “label” is based off that concept: that not everyone is going to mass produce their artisanship, mostly because our recourses are limited. We don’t have the allowances or the parents open pockets to go burn the $50 to record and mass duplicate our “masterpiece”.
Electric Garage Demos finds pleasure in doing things the old way. Yes, the equipment is a little different, but the spirit is the same. This is a bare bones, grass roots, indie label full of music hobbyists, recorded in garages, home offices, and make-shift bedroom studios.

This site is in remembrance of St. Pilatus
Who once was a child with a dream
thought he found his dream
fell into a machine that stole his dream,
ripped away his hope
and eventually stole his life
we are the dreamers, and we cannot forget our own

in Canon in D
This Album came out of a love for Pachelbel's Canon in D Major (aka Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur für drei Violinen und Basso Continuo, AKA Canon and Gigue in D major for three Violins with Bass Acompanyment), and a love for a unique mixture of sounds and styles. Multiple Time signatures, Modes, genres, rhythms, instruments, etc, were incorporated, including waltz, 5/4 time, cut time, Minor, Locrian, Chromatic, banjos, harp, guitar, piano, organ, flute, synth, accordion, whales, birds, and more. Way, way, way long ago, when this album first came out, it was called Pachelbel's Journey, and was about a gnome named Pachelbel and his mystical journey. |

What Child is This: Variations on a Theme
This album contains multiple variations of What Child is This in various time signatures, including: 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 and 6/4. It then uses those time signatures and embraces various ambiances, including Piano, Orchestral, Electronic, Rock, and Bells. On the Rock variation, one of the musicians tried to include a Moody Blues/ Chili Peppers bass line. It's your call if he did it justice... |
21 Inventions
What Child is this
with Nature Soundscape This is, for the most part, the same as the previous album, but it was placed over a Nature backdrop. One of the things that was done to alter the music was the removal of most of the drums (so it didn't give the feel as though they were trying to beat down little woodland creatures...) |
Easy Listening
Overview This section contains pieces of art that are New Age, Ambient, Folk, Hymnal and other various forms of Easy Listening (though some would argue calling Phloide trying to sing "Easy Listening"). Reflections is a New Age release by Phloide. This album was released after the noise driven Worm As I, designed to be a contrast in design Hymns of Nature is an arrangement of hymns over the sounds of Nature. Songs of the Wedding are instrumental arrangements of contemporary Christian songs (plus a rendition of Legends of the Fall) It Was a Dark and Stormy Night (V1 & V2) are alternative folk pieces put out by Phloide, featuring The Lonely Piano |
Phloide
Reflections
This album tells a musical journey through life, and then concludes by playing the entire album in reverse, taking us back to where we begin. The album titles and motifs reflect the artists unique studies and observations of the world around him. |

Hymns of Nature
All Creatures of our God and King
The original name of the duo that worked on this was "Carpets and Dolphins", based off of the mispronunciation of their last names by kindergarten children (but rarely does anyone ever do random searches for "Carpets" and "Dolphins"). Carpets is an organ player, as well as a teacher of Preschool and Kindergartners. Dolphins is an institutional programmer, and a former college flunky (though he eventually went back and redeemed himself...) This is an album they did together as a chance to do something that they both enjoy: she got to play hymns, and he got to mess around with his programs. |

Hymns of Nature Songs From the Wedding
These songs are a collection of songs Carpets and Dolphins did for their own wedding. It's in the same order that it appears on the wedding video. Like with their other projects, Carpets did the "playing" and Dolphins did the "arranging". The more contemporary it sounds, the more likely Carpets chose it. The more "hippie / Jesus People" it sounds, the more likely Dolphins chose it. But they agreed on all of them. |

Phloide & the Lonely Piano
It was a Dark and Stormy Night V1
This (set of) album(s) dives into the Folk / bar elements of piano with electronic/gothic elements embraced in the vocals. The focus is on the inward struggle of understanding who we are using pop culture, philosophy, physics and metaphysics, and all the hodgy podgy fiddle-de-dink that we encounter as we travel our own Hoober-Bloob Highway |

--ANTWON'S WAR-- Antwon’s Mirror opened a secret door To a world no man had been before, Where gnomes and goblins fought an ancient war And no one knows what for, Just gotta even up the score The Elder spoke “Once you come and join our song, It no long matters whose right or wrong It doesn’t matter where you thing you belong, Sometimes the side we chose Depends on the size of our shoes And all will be been forsaken as we bury all our dead As all we once thought important, now fading memories in our head Can anyone tell me just what we’re fighting for Antwon returned through the mirror door, to the world he knew before where gnomes and goblins are left in cookie jars, Got a box of crayons, to draw a pretty picture --WHAT YOU WILL-- If I were a poet, I'd write you a poem, using pretty words And if I were a painter, I'd paint you a picture, that words could not explain No, I’ll never be in vogue, Just a fool with a song and a dream This is the song I sing, Do with it what you will With its silly words and a voice that sings out of tune You can throw it all away, But when all is said and done I will be right here If I were an architect, I'd build you a home, out of silver and gold and if I were a clown, I'd put on a show, just to see you smile --HELL'S ICE CREAM SHOPPE-- “I paint a self-portrait poorly But I'll sell it to you pretty cheap” – Mark Heard One morning in Hell, I thought about taking a trip to Paradise Shouldn’t be too many tourists, You know it’s only half a day’s journey Including all the detours I stopped at the local ice cream shop, To grab the flavor of the day There I met a man from Earth, Who said he was on his way to Nirvana He must of taken a wrong turn on I-94 I always wondered if Hell really existed, I’ve heard a lot about it, But who woulda thought it would have been such a beautiful place 19 hundred miles above the Earth So here I am stuck here in Hell, I guess its partly my own fault I threw away the navigational device When it didn’t like my interpolations As I charted my elucidation I took a ride into the personal pronoun and when I got inside, I didn’t like what I found Next thing I knew, I found myself in an Empty Metaphor As he heads out the door, he quietly hangs his head, “I may be close, but its getting late I guess I should just head back home, I guess Nirvana can wait” That’s when I noticed he never finish his ice cream I am wise enough to know not to discard every Rhombus and Rhyme that doesn’t seem to comfortably fit into my current paradigm so I finished my Ice cream, and headed out the door --THE DEATHTONGUE REUNION SHOW-- (hairy fish nuts for pear pimples) we stand at the stage, ya know its been a long time, since we’ve twung the old rhythm and rhyme 2 by 2 we’ve come from the Outlands, to twist and sing, and touch a penguins wings Bill and Opus took the stage, but Hodge Podge was nowhere to be found Some light glimmer only for a moment Before they must return to the sky so Animal has taken over drums and the band played on Steve is there, waxing the tracks while Oliver records it all on his betamax Mortimer and Milo took care of the lights As we all gaze into the beautiful yet cryptic starry nights we are looking for messages, we are looking for a sign is this the road we have been given through some magnanimous celestial design milo breaks the silence with the latest breaking story and the band played on The Banana 2000 is calculating the big crunch while Regan-Ann serves us all lunch Rosebud watches over the children while Lola works on her quantum dissertation Milquetoast whispered in my ear it’s really good to see you again, my old friend Portnoy says the ship has lost a great captain the star fleet has ever known But the anxieties in your closet must be fed and the band played on Calvin and Hobbes come join for the chorus and all sorts of mayhem ensue and when all is said and done we pack up for the outlands, There’s a script everyone must write, only ours to perform So we all sit one last time on a couch in the middle of a dandelion field in our underwear and scream but we know it will never be the same, since the drummer left the stage we scribe our legend, from the days we’ve been given, and the band played on --THIS IS THE NEW-- Ecclesiastes 1:9-14 Everything has been said before, There's nothing left to say anymore When it's all the same, You can ask for it by name Let us entertain you, Let us re-arrange you... Stick your silly slogan in: Everybody sing along. Are you Fraggles ready For the new Smurf daddy whack give a dog a bone? Stand up and admit, we’re never gonna get yesterday is never coming home. Let us offend you Let us simply amend you Slap your bumper sticker on And sing along Are you furbies ready For the lovie-dovie mon chi chi clone Stand up and admit, its easier to commit when the future is unknown. And now it’s the you know who With the you know what It’s the yabba dabba oops I did it again It’s a baw with dabaw A cryptic gimmick in a can Don’t forget the thundercats Shallow as the a in man Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz zippity doo dah day We can’t tell the difference and we like it that way Super cali fragils walla walla bing bang Mmm bop bop bop yeah it’s a wiggly party Babble babble blah blah Rebel rebel blah blah Stick your product placement here and sing along Shamma lama blah blah Oobie doobie blah blah Stick your sad and lonely guilty pleasure here --MR NOODLES-- Fisher King Can you spare me a stitch in time To share a game of chess and a glass of wine Life doesn’t always start at the scrimmage line Mr Noodles was a friend of mine Gypsies dance under the evening shade Tying ribbons on fences guiding our way Sorry the ribbons could not sway you to stay When he danced for the children it made us laugh and sing when the curtain fell on the final stage did he know how much we cared Elmo laughs for everyone If only now could reflect all that begun Now that the play is all said and done Mr Noodles you were a friend of mine --FEHRION-- Some say he was just a friend Larry met in Canada others say just a righteous rocker he saw on the six o'clock news some say a Just a stranger only visiting this planet some say he was a dancer Dancing to a classical mandolin Fehrion where have you gone Larry’s been looking for you so long did you find something new under the sun When the sun begins to rain I hope I'll see you in Heaven Fehrion --STARFISH DANCING IN THE SKY-- Starfish dancing in the sky, Little doggie laughs to see such a sight Camel fits through a needles eye, And the dolphins take to flight The ostrich has wings but refuses to fly, If the platypus had wings, he’d reach for the sky Unicorns don't exist because, Growing up means dreams have to die Bullfrog and butterfly, bird and the bee, Do we understand or do we simply believe? The Morning Star has come, Oh Dove of God Land on me Little Boy Blue come blow your horn, You’re stuck in your own head Lions, tigers and bears are in your bead, And vultures are laughing, feeding off your dead If the cow jumps over the moon, Does it mean that Jesus is coming soon The donkey speaks, the stone sings, What kind of gift is this the lamb would bring SUM OF ALL THINGS / DANDELIONS REPRISE I hears a zillion voices, crying out for meaning And I swears I swears, they sounds a lot like me I sees a zillion faces, looking for the notion of being, and I swears I swears, they looks a lot like me Has systematic truth truly made us wise? Are we just a cosmic glitch with a side of curly fries? And hope nothing more than chasing after the man on the moon. There is a fingerprint upon the celestial road That matches the cryptic prints in my genetic code Giving hope that Reason stretches beyond Entropy’s noon --GOOD-BYE MR TEDDY BEAR-- You've been a part of me, Just like in a story, full of giants of fairies and thieves but the giants they have fallen, the thieves have all been caught, and the fairies have all flown away so I open up my toy chest to lay you down, in your final place of rest upon the memories of yesterday gone of dreams, of foolishness and folly and so the story goes, Peter Pan has finally grown old Good-bye Mr. Teddybear, It's time to let you go Good-bye Mr. Teddybear, It's time to let my past fade away Time to change my ways, And time to move on I close my toy chest and walk away, For you see there is a world out there waiting I may be a little scared, slightly afraid, But I know I will never go alone * Good-bye...

--DANDELIONS IN BLOOM-- Hey Mr. Ramapithicus, Come and have a drink with us And let us discuss, The questions of the mind Can all that we be, Simply existential anomalies Does life sing just a Filler song, Between the primordial and the grave As I walk down Mulberry St. Looking at all the people I meet Searching for dandelions in Bloom Like the tantric senses that stir my thoughts, Are our dreams nothing more than chemically wrought And our breath nothing more than Empirical dust in June Hey Mr. Ramapithicus, Come and join us on the bus As we travel to what once was, In relative time Is 18 billion years, Long enough to create our hope, our fears, our dreams Can the quantum matrix hold, The answer for the longing of our soul As I walk down Mulberry St., Looking at all the people I meet Searching to find their tune Like the supernova dust that has formed my eyes, Has The Maker woven a beautiful surprise To cloak it inside a esoterical cocoon So, Mr. Ramapithicus come play your tune, For you know that all too soon The earth will call us all into her womb But within this tailor-made tapestry, Is there a greater singularity That even tomorrow can never consume --DARK AND STORMY NIGHT-- It was a Dark and Stormy night Against an old grand piano The maestro played a serenade To sooth the aching soul Happiness Is a Sad Song That echoes through the halls But the harmony softly reminds us That we are not alone I never promised you an apple orchard But all my love I give to you It was a dark and stormy night In an old abandon field The vulture lay eyeing all Awaiting for the kill For the life that blankets over us Treaties out our days And the pangs of defeat that comfort us Guide us on our way We never promised you an apple orchard But all our love We give to you It was a dark and stormy night When the young preacher took the stage To tell the ancient story of the child and the sage The journey we partake is unique in all accord But the grace that dwells among us can rest the bitter sword He never promised you an apple orchard But all his love he gives to you --LAND OF LOST BALLOONS-- On a whim, he sails his ship to the little strip he wants had known As she sings in the band, he writes in the sand, she is where I call home Have you ever taken a trip to the land of lost balloons As they sail over the ocean, they stopped in Goshen, to find the ruby shoe He said hey there Moses, do you have some roses, I know it’s a quarter past 3 But if I give her a reason, regardless of season, maybe she’ll come and dance with me He said “go and scribe your legend on the days you’ve been given, here in the land of lost balloons --AVATARS IN JET ENGINES-- Another Avatar got sucked into a jet engine today, as he attempted to ascend to the heavens It appears gods don’t make it very long here on Mulberry street Guess he’s not coming home for Ice cream the llama tried to jump over the moon, with some great bovine envy he suffocated once he left the atmosphere, and then burned up on re-entry Guess he’s not coming home for Ice cream this is the place where I write the chorus filled with profundity, inquisition, and a load of nifty rhyming words about how I’ve found some great transcendence Train pulled by 8 tiny reindeer Now its time for the obligatory second verse That generally reiterates the first no I’ve not forsaken the prize or turned my face from the future it’s just that I realize I’m growing in an Image right here and now --TEMPORARY LIGHT AFFLICTION-- The silhouettes inside his closet perpetually twist and shout So he closes the window to keep the music out The blinds stay closed to block out the horizon. For fear that the sun will encourage his silhouettes to dance The thorns that pricked his finger, Lay upon the floor As this temporary light afflict pierces him to the bone He cracks the window to let the music slowly in As the silhouettes harmonize in discongruent song The horizon peaks its head through remnants of jilted credence And caresses a faded rainbow upon the etching on his wall The thorns that pricked his finger, Now vased upon the table As this temporary light afflict reflects upon our reason he hinges upon the postulate, that only fools drink from folly and that wise men always know the way, and good ones never falter but the pricks upon his finger, tell him a different story that maybe love and understanding, don’t always drink at the umbrage of regret He throws open the window, to let the horizon in As his silhouettes amalgamate intrinsic harmonies The music fills the room with all the rainbows refractions Of pain of joy of all the things that weaves and angels wing The thorns that pricked his finger, Now bloom in brilliant life As this temporary light affliction fades into the dance --TRAMPLED ROSES-- I dance to the melodies that faded long before I long for the questions in my youth I so adored The light’s burning bright but I hide behind the door There’s so much I am unsure of. I have burned the wheat and left the chaff I’ve chase the clouds, while trampling the roses Wisdom sings the tune As the heart writes the words But its hard to tell if I’m listening Whisper to me softly the secrets life Of what lies behind balance of love and strife As I quandary over the meaning of it all And where it all take us Jesus, Jesus Can I tell you how I feel There are the songs reason was never meant to sing But my melody has gotten lost in all my quandering --MARY DID YOU KNOW/ CAROL OF THE BELLS-- Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water? Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters? Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new? This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you. Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man? Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand? Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels tried? And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God. The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again. The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb. Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation? Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations? Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am. --BIRDIES BOUNCING OFF WINDOWS-- I see birdies bouncing off windows Simply because they don’t believe they are there There are no second chances Their bodies are broken by the choices they have made And goliath comes, and he swallows them down and he smiles Cuz you know he thinks it’s a game, doggy snacks from heaven And fate laughs as she lays down her final hand And we turn our heads as we wonder if the gamble was worth the price we paid --CALL THE DOORWAYS-- Enter me calls the doorways, That encompass my decisions Challenging my dreams My visions and my questions Oh Lord, please lead me Through this journey I must travel For sometimes the doorways Seem kind of hazy So many doorways Are calling out my name And wisdom seams fleeting In this ocean of time Time is my companion Through the passing of this age But there comes a doorway In which we must part our ways Oh Lord I pray for peace in my world For another heart to hold And one more song to sing For I am just a simple man With a heart full of questions Longing that I may never sing my final song alone --SMILE-- They sacrificed another cow today upon the alter of religion they said it’d make me a better man give me favor with the upper had I just don’t under stand whats this gotta do with life, with love what’s this gotta do with knowing you does this somehow make me who I aught to be does this really make me into some you want to see now as through a darken glass, then to face to face I just want to see you face to face no, I don’t want religion, I just wanna know if I make you smile are you glad you got to know me, do you find me worth your while are you gonna be happy to see me, when I walk that final mile do I make you smile ---------------- All Songs written and performed by Phloide © 2008 Phloide With the exception of Mary Did you Know Written by: Buddy Greene, Mark Lowry Carol of the Bells Written by: Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovych Arranged by: Phloide De Colores SWVA 15 TO Paul |
The Experimental Barn
Overview Dr Zaius is an experiment in taking the old familiar meets modern experimentation. They hope to release other experiments with classical pieces once they can get everybody to calm down. Berdoax Fozle Qozletong is a team that is experimenting in “blind sound art”, where they create sounds usually based around some musical theory and whack it, mix it, dissect it, re-mix it, and smoother it with experimental ideas, all without listening to it while they work on it. These are 2 of the releases that have come out of that project. There is a proported 3rd album, though it has yet to surface. Phloide is an artist who can’t make up his mind what he wants to sound like (not that it’s all that bad). But you will see other pieces from him in other sections, including Electro rock, New Wave, New Age, and Piano Folk. It is also rumored that he once was a bass player in a metal band. |

Dr Zaius Presents: Huxley's Monkeys and the Classical Deconstruction Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
The concept of this album is centered around the Infinite Monkey Theorem, which implies that if you have an infinite number of monkeys randomly beating the begeaters out of typewriters, they would eventually concoct something intelligible. We took samples of various variations of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, indiscriminately cut them up, integrating them with erratically dissected samples of Mozart’s 12 Variations, and haphazardly displaced them using various audio effects to see if it would turn out feasibly comprehensible.
We don't normally create our own samples (though we are not opposed to it). We like to take samples and tracks already generated by other fellow artists (so don't be surprised to find other artists on this site being resampled in future projects).
Enjoy! Dr. Zaius

Beurdoax Fozle Qosletong
Silly Gifinos, Bursadinaks are for Furdinams, V1
its not chi - its mon chi chi - pure anti-music. Eat More Cheese… The artists who composed this went in with a plan (sort of), of using various chords, rhythms, scales, etc, to create various sample tracks, and then whack those tracks to pieces. They also tried to implement a couple of repeating themes. If you can't tell by the names of the songs, this group has trouble coming up with song names, so they tend to just sporatically use whatever comes to them. There are rumors of where the BFQ name came from, but it probably came about by just banging on the keyboard or creating a random letter generator.

Momentary Trouble We stole this from Rivot Rich's sites and posted it here (we hope he doesn't mind). He's not really on our label (yet). But we love his stuff, and he is a real inspiration to us, so we thought we would help promote his stuff. He has it currently for free download on various sites (reverbnation, soundclick, myspace). |
Pachelbel ala Mode Canon in D in Various Modalities
These are from a minimalist artist who wanted to try taking a familiar classic and run it through various modalistic treatments. Each minimalist variation uses a different instrument, pending on the ambiance each variation called for. |

ElectroRock
Overview The albums we currently have in this category are from Phloide (And Now To Sum Things Completely Different & Deception) and an old release from the famed underground indie metal band Overdrive. Phloide's albums are Electro Rock (And Now To Sum Things Completely Different) and New Wave (Deception), while the Overdrive album caters to the old school metalhead. We took And Now To Sum Things Completely Different and separated the vocal half and the non-vocal half into 2 sections (though they are both contained on the same album), in that some people find Phloide's vocal delivery a little annoying (he refuses to use Auto-tune) The Overdrive album is a compilation of all the different materials we had access to from over their various incarnations. It is a tribute album to the founding member and drummer, Bobby "The Basher" Collins (who also went by the name Animal). |

And Now to Sum Things Completely Different
Yes, the name is a take off on the Monty Python Movie. The instrumentals heard here are actually on the other album (Both vocal and instrumental tracks are on the same album - so if you don't like the vocals, buy the album and delete the vocal tracks :) |

Phloide Deception
The song "When I woke up" is based on a true story where I decided not to take my medicine for snoring, because I had a lot of great excuses... and when I woke up... |
||
Song Lyrics: 1. The Plaid RazzleFlabbenz Searches For His Tune (Instrumental) 2. When I woke up -based on a true story One night I went to bed with a sinus headache on my mind Thought I need no medicine, I do it all the time So I went to bed with a sinus headache on my mind I told myself in the morning, ya know, I’ll feel fine Its just one of those things, no reason no rhyme Just the kind of sign we kinda leave behind I lay my scars all in a line, dream of bread and wine To leave behind, ignore the sign, no reason no rhyme, do it all the time When I woke up in the morning. Felt like Hell Sometimes I can’t see the sun at night Because the world gets in the way Sometimes I can’t see the sun in the rain Because the clouds get in the way Sometimes I can’t see the sun when I cry Because my tears get in the way And sometimes I can’t see the sun Simply because I’ve closed my eyes When I woke up in the morning… It seems that anyone Can make their plan But we all must answer For how we play our tune 3. Deception (Lyrics by Scott Cooper) Deception is a funny game; One can't see every move she make Slight of hand, tests of faith, Only she has got what it takes Deception is a lovely game; She knows all the right words to say Soothing of soul, lifting of hearts, Come along she's looking to play Deception is a beautiful game; Covering flaws with mask and paint Sight to be hold, loveliest saint; Hiding her claws from the faint Deception is a crafty game; A puppeteer for the dying masses Pulling the strings, selling the lives, Twisting truth to divide the classes Deception is a brutal game; Talons of steel piercing lost souls Lying so well, freely she speaks, Love of flesh burning like fiery coals Deception is a deadly game; Her victims die from wounds unseen Eating them alive, killing from inside, They believed her whispers of being queen 4. My Old Friend My dear old friend, oh how I remember The look in your eyes as we shared our lives We shared the laughter, we shared the pain We wiped each others tears and held each other tightly to comfort our fears On a road of comrades, crossing a bridge of love Jumped/Dived into a river of passion and proceeded to drown I will remember you, my old friend I will remember you, my old friend I still love you Oh the price we paid for the fools we became And the scars of a friendship that would never be the same Remembering our dreams as they turned to nightmares And crushed the visions from our eyes As time moves on wounds mutantly mend As we numb ourselves with stitches of steel There are the wounds only God can heal I pray that Lord will bless your journey 5. Dandelions in Bloom Hey Mr. Ramapithicus Come and have a drink with us And let us discuss The questions of the mind Can all that we be Simply existential anomalies Does life sing just a Filler song, Between the primordial and the grave As I walk down Mulberry St. Looking at all the people I meet Searching for dandelions in Bloom Like the tantric senses that stir my thoughts Are our dreams nothing more than chemically wrought And our breath nothing more than Empirical dust in June Hey Mr. Ramapithicus Come and join us on the bus As we travel to what once was In relative time Is 18 billion years Long enough to create our hope, our fears, our dreams Can the quantum matrix hold The answer for the longing of our soul As I walk down Mulberry St. Looking at all the people I meet Searching to find their tune Like the supernova dust that has formed my eyes Has The Maker woven a beautiful surprise To cloak it inside a esoterical cocoon So, Mr. Ramapithicus come play your tune For you know that all too soon The earth will call us all into her womb But within this tailor-made tapestry Is there a greater singularity That even tomorrow can never consume 6. Ancient Pages (Original Poem by Scott Cooper) Shall we read some words from ancient pages Telling us the story of the rock of ages Stage was set before the Universe opened her eye Do we find life in words from ancient pages The promise given and confirmed by sages Paradox incognito born to die Will we become like birds without cages Our soul and mind will be our controlling gauges Ex-nihilo Enigmas, Pieces of the Sky Death becomes life when Love paid our wages All to be found in the words on ancient pages Spread you wings and fly 7. Entropy’s Noon -“What tells the void it is pregnant with the universe, and what atomic anomaly leads a man to lay down his life for a stranger?” Deception’s such a tempting game, as she soothingly drains us numb Impotent ride, anemic estate, In the storm we are left to come undone Deception is a mind sheltering game, as she shades us in her comfort zone But as truth comes to light, the cure becomes the plight, and in the light we are left to answer alone Has systematic truth truly made us wise? Are we just a cosmic glitch with a side of curly fries? And hope nothing more than chasing after the man on the moon. There is a fingerprint upon the celestial road That matches the cryptic prints in my genetic code Giving hope that Reason stretches beyond Entropy’s noon 8. The Plaid Razzleflabbenz Finds His Tune (Instrumental) All songs written and performed by Phloide.com and the Garden Gnome Liberation Front, unless otherwise noted (like where our buddy Scott wrote some stuff, and then gave it to us, not knowing we were gonna make a song out of it) The Shema (used on Ancient Pages) performed by Shlomoh and Monica Guwazah Decolores |

Overdrive
Remembering the Basher
November 14,1998 Intro by Bobby Collins:
|
Blonde Vinyl was a label that has inspired me for years, even though it is long and gone. For its day, it was extreme in its experimental vibe: willingness to envelope unique Avant-garde music for a demographic and platform that tended to shun the bizarre and unique. The Founder of the Blonde Vinyl was Michael Knott, and a list of the bands can be found at this excelent tribute site. If you are a former Blonde Vinyl artist/group, and would like to post some of your stuff up here, I would be more than willing to see what I can do! just email me! De Colores and RazzleFlabbenz |
