The Other Merry Monsters are happy to introduce their 5th studio LP, Pretty Arty. Furthering their exploration of meta-modern Mario Pop, the musicians once again demonstrate that a song is too long only if it's too long. Indeed, the poison is in the dose. Sola dosis facit venenum. As an aside, the band is desperate to present I Cannot Do What Daryl Hall Can Do. First off, Captain Sarsaparilla, impresario to the Other Merry Monsters, shares a...
This live improvisation is a marker of what became known as "MarioPop," a post-apocalyptic genre of music that captures a singular trip through OMMWorld. According to notes left alongside this recently unearthed video, the term "MarioPop" was first coined by Burt Sugarman in 2057: "As Mario traveled through varying levels of reality, engaging with an otherworldly array of characters in MarioWorld, so too does the listener of...

I've been looking down, around 'round 'roundfor a mighty, mighty place where nobody puts nobody downWhere angels are like shoes, you can spit to see them shineEverybody has an uncle akin to Robert Quine The fat-hearted ladies are running up the scoreNobody's trying to barricade the doorMario is President with a turtle and a twinThe Gong Show is televised and so is Gunga Din Where every little girl never heard life is hardNobody's nothing brings...
I know a place with pig patrol hiding swine without paroleTo find it, go to heaven and dig a deep hole It's an Upton Sinclair Lewis town. A Jungle on Main Street with many a frown.Where they put good people down Can't tell some people from a pig. Pile them tight in a metal rig.Raise your cross and dance a jig. One will grunt at the Country Club 99 at the Tiki PubTherein dies the rub There's a fire in AustinMade of one part Jesus, two part...

Someone once said to me in reference to my music: “I think you court disapproval.” This is fake news. A witch hunt. A hoax. I just take risks. I often fail and I lack the humility to keep my failures to myself. And, yes, my tastes are peculiar. Regardless, at the risk of courting your disapproval, I’m sharing a 13-minute-long symphonic poem called SONIC ELEGY 2020. Sounds pretentious and interminably long, I know. (Enter:...
When did he get so bad at this?His brain is made of mushTrying to be DickensEnds up being Bush He go out thinking he willDream and levitateOnly seem to end upWith a commanding hate Eight ball in a pocketFoe without a friendWho never grew to understandThe blender never blend Pretending to be mercifulLike when you're huffing paintBut is it not as simpleAs knowing when to faint? His head is shooting picturesOf a madly sordid faceMaking sure he...
