A couple weeks back we had a theme of Masks and then today we had a theme of Playing Cards. So, you et one serious song and one silly song.

We had a theme of ‘Scottish Highlands’ so I wrote a song from the perspective of someone who only likes highland malts. Personally, I like Lagavulin best. I used a flying V I built from a kit and installed an arcade kill-switch on. It was a cheap kit and i suspect the pickups weren’t dipped in wax because it squeals whenever i’m not playing. That’ll go into the Mark IV upgrade, I still have to replace the tuners and nut first.

We had a theme of “Guacamole”… so I wrong a song called “Unholy Guacamole” which suggests that the popularity is driven by alien invaders using it for mind control. As the title of this post infers… silliness.

We had a secret agent theme, I decided to play with Logic’s Studio horns as I have in the past. They’re fun.

The following week we had a fun exercise where everyone submitted a noun and an adjective to a bot which then randomly assigned combinations of those submissions to each participant. Mine was “Colossal Lava”.

So i have a batch of songs, I just forgot to post them!

Also, in theory This Complete Breakfast will be performing on 9/5 at Dingbatz in Clifton NJ - though that might be in 2021 instead of 2020. I will update as events warrant. On to the tracks:

First we had a theme of ‘Deep Learning’ back on 5/3:

The week after that we had a theme of ‘Bamboo’:

The following week the theme was ‘Boredom’:

Then we had a theme of ‘Crickets’. Special K thinks TCB should perform this one live:

To celebrate the successful launch of the SpaceX Dragon our theme was ‘The New Era’:

The next week, the theme they gave us was "‘Painkiller’.

And finally we had a Masquerade-style theme where the idea was to submit our tracks anonymously and see if anyone could guess the artist. No one guessed mine probably because I went full “technosadist” on this one.

I’d promise not to forget to update for two months like this again… but we both know that’s a lie.
