EL VILLANCICO QUESO You know sometimes I realize the sausage is getting to me And times are hard Notepad stares back at the trio so rustic and cheesy The E before F really fast in your face With my skills on my hands into space Your urchin is mine, your face in my hands Biting down through the skin, purple rises to prize Your urchin is mine, your face in my hands My glands and your prize Spanish Rica, her eyes meet demise I just wanna have something to do And I want you to know I sniff glue I'm in great shape but I think I'm going bald Well, how 'bout that? No one cares, nothing new, I don't like what you like, couldn't care Ooooh parallel, ooooh parasite Ooooh parallel, ooooh parasite

HYPERBOWLINGTROPHY It's six of one and half a dozen of the other You make me sick and I make your mother Hear the drummer at the edge of magic like Hart Henry Mancini's just a shot in the dark It may seem like a delusion of G of which it's just a "thang" or a glorified V But we kick the sub-glacial on the reservoir tip With the King Kong haberdasher scientist flip It may seem hackneyed or odd or banal Persona non grata in the resin canal The second-string slobs who just wanna be sedated But I got more rhymes than your sister that I dated I got 21 on my first night out I gave all the winnings to replace the tile grout And the gossamer devil's in the goulash pot A Gonzo statue ain't exactly what I got I got a little shock from the rhythm of your thighs You laid on my stomach and laughed at the skies I got a sunburn on my forehead skin Your honor says get off 'er but I'd rather keep it in

Motherfuckers in the place (yo!) We'll be livin' here for years So get outta this place or be bored to tears Now it's Orangevale, home of Pow Wow Days The manure's in the air and we soak up UV rays Sweatin' in the back of a pickup truck 'Cause we're [down to our ride] and down on our luck So we kick it inside and we come out at dark We head out for "action" at the nearest park We drive around in circles, clockin' down mileage So get the car and drive off the Rainbow Bridge Y'never seen so many ham-n-eggers sit together Or so many horny teens, they gettin' light as chicken feathers

THE EARLIEST YEAR
(part 1 of 2)

Here it is: the earliest and most embarrassing Theophagus material, never intended for release, that I thought I'd always keep hidden... the musical shame, my brooding secret...
The juvenile learning curve laid bare!
HERE IT IS!!!
...The first THEOPHAGUS RELEASE TO COST MONEY!!!

WHY?
It's the holiday season - it makes the perfect gift for:
- That weird nephew with the provocative t-shirts!
- Your lo-fi-loving mom!
- An anthropomorphic shower radio who's feeling depressed!
- Dads who love to hit Theophagus with a hammer!
- Anyone you want to horrify using something that you can hear!

naw, j/k, I COULD USE THE MONEY!!!!!


-------------

THEOPHAGUS is the name of the solo songwriting/recording project I began at around age 16. From 1992-2002 I recorded roughly 100 hours of material, most of it on my Yamaha MT8X 8-track cassette recorder.

Every song has been re-digitized, rebuilt, remixed, and remastered directly from the original cassettes.

(Please note that while we at Optical Pies Recorders have made every effort possible to heighten and augment the fidelity, the quality in [most] places might seem lacking. This is an illusion.)
