1.	Lame Apprentice, Hopeless Master 03:00	lyrics	buy track
I live an average life, I got average looks, I gained average grades, I got average luck I make an average wage, guess I'm keeping afloat Average self control, still have more than I should Just coast along... just forget me when I'm gone I spent 10,000 hours becoming an expert at doing nothing I'm in average health, at least for now I have average fears as far as I can tell Just coast along... we don't all need to be someone I spent 10,000 hours becoming an expert at doing nothing
2.	Crisis Actor at a Casting Call 02:38	lyrics	buy track
Like a crisis actor at a casting call, the truth's up for grabs and he don't feel himself Like an anti-vaxxer on a hospital ward, weighing up beliefs with her declining health ... it's a hard sell Like a flat earther admiring the views, can't help but feel that she's been boxed in Like a suspicious viewer of the mainstream news, hears what they're saying but don't trust a thing ... he's in a tailspin It's hard to make sense of the world when you no longer feel in control It helps to make sense of yourself when someone's got secrets to sell I'm climbing the walls and pacing the floors

This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now. barnaby nygren

Reminiscent of "The Fall" spoken word vocal over dribbling bass chords and percussion, etc, etc, etc And then he informed me he had a picture of my grandpa & I had to buy it. This track sticks to the inside of your skull like chewing gum to a bed post. James .R. Dixon
