Lyrics:

I've got half of city hall clamoring to send you back to cryo, and I'm half-tempted to do it

Send you back to cryo
Half-tempted to do it
Send you back to cryo
Half-tempted to do it

Do I need to remind you your body temperature is riding on this?
Do you wanna end up back in the ice box?
Do you expect me to justify your freedom?

If this weren't important you'd still be in cryo sleep
If the need weren't so great, I'd have you on the next flight back

I've got half of city hall clamoring to
Send you back to cryo
Half-tempted to do it
Send you back to cryo
Half-tempted to do it

Do I need to remind you your body temperature is riding on this?
This isn't some kind of game, people are dying out there

I'm not happy with your methods, but at least you got results

You even managed to bring him in
Without getting anyone killed
Keep this up
And I may be able to keep you out of the freezer

With Janus out of the picture
I can justify my decision to keep you thawed out
And as icing on the cake
Nobody was hurt

But don't plan on any vacations yet
We still haven't solved this case

Janus is out of commission
And we have a better idea of what's going on
I've got half of city hall clamoring to
Send you back to cryo
And I may be able to keep you out of the freezer
Send you back to cryo
Keep you out of the freezer

This isn't some kind of game, people are dying out there
Do I need to remind you your body temperature is riding on this?

Cover art for Rise From Your Grave

Rise From Your Grave

A Halloween special for 2023. I had a lot of fun trying to find a way to fit the Altered Beast sample into a song. Inspired by only the finest in Castlevania entertainment.

Lyrics:

Here are some Tek realities
We're not the killers, they are
We're not the killers
We're not the killers
We're not the killers, they are
They are

Killers, killers, killers, they are
Killers, killers, killers, they are
Killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers
Killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers

Miyoshi Nakahara and her family disappeared while sailing a 40-foot wind cruiser around the world and are believed lost
Nicholi Petrovski suddenly left his lab, and has not been seen or heard from since
The connection could be the worst thing to hit this city since the quake of '22

We're not the killers, they are
We're the kill-killers
We're not the killers, they are
They are the kill-killers
We're not the killers, they are
We're the kill-killers
We're not the killers, they are
They are the kill-killers

The worst thing to hit this city (Marty Dollar)
The worst thing to hit this city (Dallas DiMarco)
The worst thing to hit this city (Carlyle Rossi) (they are)
The worst thing to hit this city (Conrad Lowell)

We're not the killers
Try to remember that

Marty Dollar's out of the way
Marty Dollar's out of the way
But, couldn't you've been a little more careful?
The body count keeps rising, and it's harder and harder to justify it

Tek dealing and cop killing is a bad mix
Get down there and show Lowell why

We're not the killers, they are
We're not the killers
We're not the killers
We're not the killers
Try to remember that

The worst thing to hit this city since the quake of '22

Killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers
Killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers
Killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers
Killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers, killers

We're not the killers

They are

Well, the kids have to learn about TekWar sooner or later

my favorite albums

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Flying Microtonal Banana

Favorite track:Sleep Drifter

A great psychedelic rock album with krautrock influence. Drummers Eric Moore and Michael Cavanaugh shine on tracks like Open Water and Anoxia. It's also the only rock album I've heard that features zurna parts, and I love it for that.

Bandcamp| YouTube

The Beach Boys - The SMiLE Sessions

Favorite track:Surf's Up

Fantastic mix of the most beautiful harmonies you'll ever hear and some of the weirdest instrument choices. Rumor has it that Paul McCartney played the celery on Vega-Tables.

Steely Dan - The Royal Scam

Favorite track:The Caves of Altamira

I showed my friend The Caves of Altamira and he asked if they had other tracks that good. The best I could come up with was Night by Night, which is good and all, but it's not on that level. And that's not to mention Kid Charlemagne!

Kero Kero Bonito - TOTEP

Favorite track:Cinema

Four tracks of nostalgic pop with a twist.

Righeira - Righeira

Favorite track:No Tengo Dinero

Italo disco duo Righeira's best work. Vamos a La Playa would be my favorite track on this album if it were the single version.

Stereolab - Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements

Favorite track:Our Trinitone Blast

This album lives up to its name. It's so fuzzy sometimes that you can barely make out the lyrics. Good thing they say everything a few times in case you miss it.

Melt-Banana - Charlie

Favorite track:Tapir's Flown Away

The most energetic thing I've ever heard. The drumming is out of this world.

Sleep - Holy Mountain

Favorite track:Aquarian

Loud stoner metal with a lot of really groovy moments, especially when the tempo changes.

Links:

Talking Heads - Fear of Music

Favorite track:Animals

All the lyrics on this album are unhinged in the best way. And it's full of catchy grooves.

The Zombies - Odessy & Oracle

Favorite track:Beechwood Park

Beautiful psychedelic pop with a bit of darkness giving it some nice contrast.
