about

Originally there was a (LONG pre-BandCamp) digital release called "Live In The Studio" that featured these seven tracks, recorded with the full band, all playin' together at the time of recording. They are presented here as BONUS tracks for this digital release of "O" BEFORE "L," AND ONLY ONE "E."

lyrics

I went down to the shoe store that's on the corner
And I asked the guy who was behind the counter
If the store that I was in carried my fav'rite shoes
Well this guy the one I told you about before
He went back to what I'd only a-
ssume was some type of storage facility type thing

When he came back
He had a look
Upon his face
That said "Bad News"
...But in his hands, I saw the shoes:
Good news!

I was almost finished with an airplane model
When the rubber cement that I had
Used ran out and I was forced to get a little more
Well because I'm lazy and Jeopardy! was on
I told my annoying little sis-
ter that she had better go and get me some more glue
(At Glueland)

When she came back
She looked quite mad!
I thought "Oh no!
Not Glueland, too!"
...Then in her hand, I saw the glue:
And ya know that's good news!

(SOLO)

So if this song were, in fact, so well thought out and
I, the one who wrote the thing in the
First place had decided it would be full of such things
As morals and themes and well let's face it any
Semblance of a unified structure
You might be inclined to hereby note the following:

This song's about
Fulfilled potential
But also teaches us that panic is a
A suitable but ineffective
Way to deal with things...

Good News!

Googolplexia Missouri

With his electric banjo and ukulele, accordion and trombone kazoo, Robert Severson has crafted Saint Louis, Missouri's Googolplexia into a one-man outsider vaudeville. Severson stomps, claps, and gurgles into the disparate, cobwebbed corners of American music and sometimes beyond. Expect screwball theatrics at their most hand-embroidered. ... more
