notes
And They Say I've Got Talent (5:20)
Dedicated to the utter lack of musical talent, charisma, and originality exhibited by modern-era "divas", in particular the one whose name rhymes with Canessa Varlton
Howie's Norvegian Bluess (2:47)
For Howard ("The Birdie Song") Harrison, the only tall Black guy I know who says "Eh?"
Happy Conception Day (1:16)
A warm and cuddly greeting from the Republic of Gilead
Trans Poly U Fight Song (2:01)
Victory march for mad scientist school Transylvania Polygnostic University, from Phil Foglio's comic Girl Genius
The Illuminati Polka (2:25)
You are not authorized to listen to this song
Dark Country (5:23)
Inspired by Gary Cole as Sheriff Lucas Buck from the TV series American Gothic
The Ballad Of Rupert (4:04)
Not your father's nonconformist-stands-tall song... at least, I don't THINK so
Bullet Time (3:38)
Inspired by the computer games Max Payne and Max Payne 2 (the game's "gimmick" is "bullet time", which slows down the action, all Matrixy-like, so the player can aim better and dodge gunfire)
The Great Moonwolf Trap (4:53)
No, that's not really Michael Longcor on this song, but I did sing it for him and he likes it (phew)
A Dragon's Lullaby (2:40)
Written for Grant Akira Johnson and his parents Doug and Christy
Rock Me Amidala (3:54)
From the soundtrack of the independent film Saving Star Wars
Talk Like A Pirate Day (5:34)
Arrr! Happy September 19th ta Cap'n Slappy, Ol' Chumbucket, an' Jezebel the Webwench
Rich Fantasy Lives (3:40)
Words by Rob Balder, creator of the online comic Partially Clips
Denouement (:40)
Of all the tracks on the album, this one is probably the last
