Gas Station

Gas station

The angels are looking for ways to get the girl a job after graduation. Then, they get lucky and locate a really nice man, named Bob, who owns a gas station. (See below, if you're unfamiliar with this project.) Since angels are able to talk to people in their sleep, they decide to use that ability to influence Bob to give the girl a job when she comes by, looking for one. What I mean to say is: they tell Bob, while he's sleeping, to give the girl a job when she comes around.

I mean, my personal opinion is, if Bob's looking for someone to work at his gas station, he'll definitely give the girl a job if she applies, because he'll be able to tell she's a good worker.

But, then again, it might be the case that the angels influence Bob to put the "Help Wanted" sign up there in the first place.

Or, maybe, the angels have so much anxiety about getting the girl a job, that they talk to Bob in his sleep to encourage him to give her a job, just to make 100% sure he hires her. Y'know, they do it, just for good measure.

This is what last week's song sounds like if you play it backwards.

Weird gas station

The lyrics are:

There is a man, he’s really nice

We talk to him in his sleep

We know he can give her a job

And it’s something she can keep

We know a man who owns

a gas station

And he’s gonna give

 the girl a job

It is our plan, we know

It’s something fate sent

And we know her friend can come along

He is really nice, she’ll like him realy well

In a singing paradise that gets her out of hell

In the station then, she’ll go to her job

With her mate, her best friend, it won't be a problem

One day, I started writing a song about a fucked up school. Then, a few days later, that lawsuit came out, involving those pervy professors in the Dartmouth Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. I was all, oh, my stars!!! That’s where I got my Ph.D.! Then I finished writing the song about a week later. I thought it was just a song about how the school system fucks up kids, but after I finished writing and recording it, I realized parts of it were about my experiences in that poopy psych department (the unconscious mind works in mysterious ways). In any event, I decided to write an album about a fucked up school in order to process my experiences of having been in that department and how the culture there impacted me. This album ain’t necessarily about Dartmouth, per se. It’s more of a weird, inner exploration where I’m, like, having a fucked up dialogue with my unconscious about my experiences at Dartmouth. Jung used to call that kind of stuff “active imagination.” So far, this album follows the story of a girl, whose guardian angels try to protect her, but often can't find her. The angels at some point decide that they have to protect the girl from those nasty teachers and start to plot against them. But then they realize they don’t want to actually harm the teachers, so they, instead, make the teachers’ brains into nature brains ™, which are basically brains that hear communications coming from nature spirits. The angels do this because they think it’ll give those teachers more empathy, and will, in turn, be nice to the students.  After the teachers receive those nature brains, they go crazy because a mountain starts speaking to them, and the numinosity of that experience is too much for them to handle. In the meantime, the girl and her friend are getting more and more nervous about graduation approaching and not having jobs; so, they turn to beer to help them cope with their anxiety.
