Cellular Terror!

thereminworld, thereminworld, thereminword.
Bud lite please

Vonbuck, I have mailed you beer and you should be getting it soon. Hopefully, it won;t spill out of the plastic cup on the way there. I put "This side up" and "handle with care" on the package.

The rest of you will have to come out in person for your free beer.

There are several acts playign tonight so I am scaling down my setup quite a bit.

I will have the Etherwave, Synsonics Drums, Speak and Spell and Casio SK-1 and that's about it.

We will be premiering our new piece, the working title of which is "Shut Up our #&@%-in' Mouth", with a cell phone recording of my son on vocals.

Yas, my dear, sweet little boy is screaming obscenities and I am putting it on our CD and playing it at live shows.

I should be nominated for Father of the #&@%-in' Year!

Perhaps you should. I agree - cuss words from young children are disturbing. But they are capable of more subtly disturbing things...

One five-year-old of my acquaintance managed to figure out how to get his way with his mother in public places. Instead of bawling, or using the classic "It's not fair!", he would shout "[i]Help![/i]"

It worked [i]every[/i] time.

I saw a similar thing in the grocery store.

This kid did not get his way and then started yelling "Help! help! This is not my mother. Help!" As she was almost dragging him out of the store, saying "Jason, Sopt it!" or some other innefectual thing.

I wasn;t worried because I had seen him earlier in the store calling her "mom" so I knew it was just a prank on his part.

CT has a new track on our MySpace page, "Unintentianl Messages". As the name implies, there are some "pocket dials" on the track that were never intended for transmittal.

One of them involves a young lady Jay met in a bar who acccidentally dialed his voice mail just in time for a huge argument with her boyfriend over why she is texting and calling guys at 3:00 am. The call ends with a sexual act caught on tape as the pluck couple were making up!

We have another one coming soon which will feature some intentional message from a psycho ex-girlfreind of mine and a lady threatening to sue me over someone else's cats. I found some 12 year old answering machine tapes and they still work!

In addition to the dramatic screaming messages from Crazy Christine there is some other great stuff there as well as some mundane stuff about band rehearsals and religious zealots offering to pray for me.

I am going through it all and I'll keep you all posted. There is probably enough material here for a few songs.

[i]The call ends with a sexual act[/i]

Auditeur!

...That's what I said. I was quite impressed with Jay's luck at having this call come in and his foresight in recording it for posterity.
