Album 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
