TWIABP / BWM 2016 April Fools NOW (Dumb Tapes, Dumb Shirts, Dumb Book, Dumb Socks, Fuck Trump Fork)


Recommended Posts

I guess the surprise was the pins (which are really cool), some handbills (typical topshelf), and a Topshelf sticker (which I'm gonna try to squeeze into my cs storage thingy). 

If the surprise is the pins, it's totally worth the wait. I've been able to stream the 7" (plus the DLs) whenever and now I have both the tape and 7"s. Neat!

Got my "Most Shit is Dumb" socks in today. Idk if this is old news or not, but the "Fuck Donald Trump" forks ran into a printing problem where the manufacturer didnt want to make them, so they are just getting "Donald Trump" forks instead and they are writing "FUCK" on each of them in big letters. I am super hyped for my 9" fuck donald trump fork. Just my update :) sorry if this is old news.

I just listened to the whole dang thing and submitted a discogs listing for it, still can't figure out that one song though. Sounds like David F. Bello singing, but shazam wasn't working for it and googling the lyrics came up with diddly squat.

Is it a Sioux Falls song? Maybe "Practice Space?" Need to listen again but I swore there was a Sioux Falls song on there.

I haven't heard this tape yet but Practice Space is 1:47 (his listing shows 1:45) and I can't imagine they don't have a SF song on it. I think you are probably correct.

First time using the whole "quoting" thing, it's not letting me type under the quote box :/

I looked up "Practice Space" on bandcamp and that's definitely not it. I just listened back to it and took down all the lyrics I could, they were pretty easy to understand except for a few lines:

 

"I want car with wheels

I know how to drive

but god knows, not before I'm 25

and if the windows are down

in that car i don't own

and if the sun's shining ??? 

then we are both alone

??? it is greater than the sum of said sunshine

?????????????????????

hanging out anywhere but a bar at 1

my arms don't swing unless i'm on vacation

 

and we don't know if it's real once it's started

and you might guess that it's real 

til you learn all the background

 

if men are from mars, and women, venus

then the earth's better off

because it sure ain't a penis

the moon's a ball 

you can count only one

'cause on earth we have rules 

about the number one

it's the loneliest number 

but it's not prime

no it's not prime

it's better than making ?????????

 

we don't know if it's real once it's started

you might guess that it's real 

once you learn all the background"

 

It sounds like Bello singing with just an acoustic guitar and female vocal accompaniment.

Have you compared it to any of his solo songs?
