Murlyball Part II - The Twoening
Yeah, Smirts is still alive. I'm going to be adding to it as well. I think I already asked for suggestions but let's hear more of them. A lot more of them, to be vague. They have to be relatively simple--no crazy detail. What do you think this is, Threadless? Listen, if I could afford to hire Bob Nanna as the official Smirts songsmith or whatever (never-minding the OBVIOUS inefficiencies of such a reorg) I would probably pay him to play Braid songs instead and then scream like that other guy who was in Braid who was not good and both ruined and broke up Braid.
This website will be redesigned as well. The purchasing interface will be forever altered. The marketing landscape may well never be the same ever again.
Also as of late I've had this idea for a book. Let's flesh it out right here. We start with Rick Ross, whose song "The Boss feat. T-Pain" and mixtape "What Drought?" I have been listening to for some while, but we turn him into a different character. This is probably set in the future. This person would be a famous rapper named after a famous criminal (maybe we would change it to something different since, after all, it is the future) who would have two completely distinct personalities and who would be the reliable dual narrator. The story would involve the creation of an audio fingerprinting technology and legally secret synthetic food ingredient ("flavoring") which would allow music corporations to control the incidence and severity of "ear-worms," or Musical Imagery Repetition as fellow native Downers Grover Sean Bennett explains in exquisite detail in his Masters Thesis, which I've probably illegally linked above (holler if nec., Sean). The idea would be that the one personality would be engaged in this cool adventure to topple some conspiracy but the other personality would simply be growing crazier and crazier and descending into a sort of delusional nightmare fantascape (because remember it's still the future). General themes would be the disconnect between commercial and artistic success and resulting brain schisms in unprepared individuals, the use of artificial personalities to sell music, rapping, and the cutthroat world of business.
So there's that, which should be pretty fun if I actually manage to do it. The last and most important thing to note that I'm also going to re-upload all of the old kleenexgirlwonder.com content, which webmaster extraordinaire Trbndo NK passed unto me the other weekend. So all them lyrics will be there, and many more besides one would figure. Plus I'll throw some pics on it. Fabolous will also be contributing a regular column to my website, and I personally am honored.*
Well, that's the consciousness ocean. Thanks for following my weak stream from its delta until now when I must return to writing this release note. I hope you are as excited about the prospects of using a portable "chunk" or "hunk" of HTML code to present a carefully researched message in a format that is easy for people to distribute amongst one another as I am, because I am.
*Note that this fact is especially true.
