Includes bonus tracks not available on BandCamp! Wow! 18 Tracks total. Googolplexia himself hand-wrapped each of these in the artwork, and hand-numbered each (CDs AND artwork) with a magic marker. And by "magic marker," I do mean a marker with actual MAGIC within, not just a felt-tip permanent marker or anything. So basically, you're buying MAGIC. How many items of BandCamp merchandise can truthfully claim the same?
Includes unlimited streaming of "O" Before "L," And Only One "E"
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Originally "Make-Believe Boy," and when this one finally gets some kind of proper studio-treatment, it will be sung by some kind of girl, with some kind of heteronormative lyrics accordingly.
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
Tonight you're mine, but tomorrow I'll awaken
Only to find, that my heart is a-achin'
Just for tonight, please be my make-believe girl
Only in dreams, is your hand holding mine
And so it seems, for the six millionth time
I'll wake up soon, to find you're just a make-believe girl
Oh I know, that it's true
You exist but the fact remains,
I'm me, and you, well, you're you
It's a shame, to Admit
That the time's come for me to give up,
But I simply can't quit
(SOLO)
It's a shame, you exist
In a world where your status remains
Unattainable bliss
How I long, for the day
When you are my love,
And no pinching can take you away
Sleeping you're mine, but if I'm not mistaken
In real life, you're a girl who's been taken
Taken, by a boy...who's not make believe
Taken, by a boy...who's not make believe
Taken, by a boy...who's not make believe.

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
The newest and best Dubb Nubb record. It makes me proud to know them and be their best friend, tour buddy, biggest fan, and split EP co-contributor. We must tour together again one day. Googolplexia
This album is a perfectly eclectic blend of righteous tunes. Coolzey is one of my favorite artists on the road today. Such a swell, handsome guy, too! Googolplexia
A nostalgic record full of ambling rhythms, vivid imagery, and cotton-soft melodies tapped out on an ever-present ’70s synth-organ hybrid. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 11, 2021
The latest from Earth Girl Helen Brown swings from spritely synthpop to smoky interstellar groovers to far-out lounge. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 23, 2018
