it’s kind of a ballad to the underdog. the boy with feces on his fingertips:

i do believe that these words may strike a chord with many a listener.
whether they be a down-trodden misfit that fell through the cracks of society’s crack or perhaps just a little boy with a whiff of butt pickles on his breath. this one goes out to anyone who has ever been lost in brown town:

the boy with feces on his fingertips by ieatpants

there once was this boy
who was all alone
he’d been abandoned
by his family and friends
his only friend
came from his butt
his only friends
were filled with corn and nuts

he played with his poo
you see it was his best friend
he played with his poo
he always had a finger up his rear end

and the best poo comes from fancy food
that’s what he wanted
and the best food makes the friendliest doodoo
that’s what he needed

so he found some cash
working at a car wash
he got this job
washing cars

and now there’s poop
in the soap
all the cars are lined up down the road
there’s poop in the soap
and all the cars smell like a commode
there’s poop in the soap
the people come from miles around
there’s poop in the soap
every car and truck is painted brown

so it turns out
that no one minds
they all think he’s hilarious
they love the boy with feces on his fingertips

he plays with his poo
it’s his best friend
he plays with his poo
always has a finger up his rear end

now, do you guys remember that movie with marlon brando?
he asks this girl to stick her fingers up his butt.
now, that was really weird.
but, pretty sexy movie, regardless.

but you know he’s kind of like a huge star
to be sort of just throwing in this weird butthole fingering scene

he played with his poo
you see it was his best friend
he played with his poo
always had a finger up his rear end

music, the empire never ended / No Comments

so i’ve conveniently uploaded these demos to this soundcloud set:

there are a total of 9 tracks and i’m estimating that i’ll have 4 more very soon.
the release will most likely be pushed to 2012, but i want to give the songs the tender love and care that they deserve.
also i have a day job (at least for 2 more weeks, that is) so i don’t have nearly as much time as i would like to spend on mixing and mastering.

whatevs. no more excuses. rock over and out.

child of mars

another hit song about a philip k. dick story!

this one is called “child of mars” and it’s loosely based on/inspired by the pkd novel Martian Time-Slip

child of mars – demo by ieatpants

one of my favorite things about this novel is the fucked up way that pkd rationalizes this autistic child’s condition. he bestows some god-like power to him, and then he fucks up his whole world.

deep shit man. we’re all in it.

here’s an interesting diversion

“the empire never ended” is the self titled demo track from the upcoming ieatpants album the empire never ended.”
the empire never ended – demo by ieatpants

the title refers to a line from the book VALIS, in which pkd hypothesized that history had been stopped in the 1st century A.D., and that “the Empire never ended” (referring to the Roman Empire). He saw Rome as the pinnacle of materialism and despotism, which, after forcing the Gnostics underground, had kept the population of Earth enslaved to worldly possessions.* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_K._Dick from Wikipedia]

the album contains songs inspired by philip k. dick’s life and stories.

i am currently mixing and recording overdubs for the rest of the songs.

i will post demos here and then release the whole album on iTunes.

i’ve the first demo track from the upcoming ieatpants album “the empire never ended.”

this song is called “twinless twin”

all of the songs on the album are inspired by philip k. dick’s life and stories.

twinless twin by ieatpants

Philip Kindred Dick and his twin sister, Jane Charlotte Dick, were born six weeks prematurely on December 16, 1928 in Chicago to Dorothy Kindred Dick, and Joseph Edgar Dick who worked for the United States Department of Agriculture. Jane died six weeks later on January 26, 1929. The death of Philip’s twin sister profoundly affected his writing, relationships, and every aspect of his life, leading to the recurrent motif of the “phantom twin” in many of his books. (from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_K._Dick)

the survivor of this type of early twin loss is called a twinless twin.

i am currently mixing and recording overdubs for the rest of the songs.
i will post demos here and then release the whole album on iTunes.
