Like every other thing I record, this one feels like it’s about 90% of what it really should be. But, eh, I’m just gonna let it go.

Several years ago, Debb and I went to a Faith and the Muse concert, and the opening act was this guy, Arcanta. He was all chanty and reverby and kinda world-musicky, which was kinda neat but kinda tiresome, but the main problem was that he went on forever. The little venue had strict show end times, so FatM had to cut their concert short. This really kinda ticked us off, because they only rarely tour.

So, I wrote the lyrics for this song that night, and been kicking em around in my brain ever since. Finally recorded the damn thing.

Oh yeah! Forgot, Debb wanted me to point out that The Ninja-Zombie Show, that I did for Scribs (remember Scribs?), is now in the discography.

I’ve been having an experience this week with polls and 30%. You know how, you get a number stuck in your head, you keep noticing it? Well, it’s not exactly 30%, but let’s call it three-tenthsish. Watching different polls this week, it caught my eye in a few places, listed here in increasing order of my personal astonishment:

Bush’s approval rating: 28%

How much our electric usage has gone down since we replaced most of our incadescent light bulbs with fluorescents: 30%

Americans who think Iraq is going well: 30%

Americans who don’t know who our Vice President is: 31%

Current Republican presidential contenders who don’t believe in evolution: 30%

You know that last one must’ve amazed me the most, because I had to break out the italics for it. Freakin’ astonishing.
