Hi, call me just john. I started as a "home taper," back in high school, and I've been doing odd things with music and noise ever since.

Story behind the song
Originally, I thought of doing something that would sound like an AM radio shifting from station to station, but with the same song. Then I left out the annoying noises between stations.
Lyrics
Y'know, this town operates from several different points of view And some supply the leverage and some supply the glue And when it comes to questions, you know when to draw a blank If you don't want to wake up, washed up on the riverbank CHORUS: Oh, when we get a story we'll tell you right up front. But when there isn't anything, we pull back and punt. We get to be on camera and it give us the power To misquote Andy Warhol for a quarter of an hour. It's for the common good and the uncommon better When the sargeant-at-arms arrives to take a letter Saying, "Cheerio, Horatio, I hope this finds you well Time to cut through the bubble wrap, so we can make this sell When the bomb went off at two till five, the people were surprised No one had thought ahead to get their watches synchronized Because of that, our hero missed his leap onto the train And hurtled into the abyss, his screaming so profane
