Hi! The day this song goes live is also is the launch day of my Kickstarter campaign for the long-delayed new Worm Quartet album "Carpe Tedium!" If you'd like to help fund the bloomin' thing so's you can secure your copy of the album in your choice of format (digital, CD, Cassette, or 180G colored vinyl) as well as score yourself some sweet schwag including t-shirts, ponchos, test pressings, signed photos, USB drives, Dr. Demento Basement Tapes CDs, custom short songs, and perhaps even having Worm Quartet perform at your very own house / garage / hangar / bus / cave / abandoned Ames store, please click hereabouts to check it out! Speaking of custom short songs, this song actually started life as one of those. There's this guy named Alex Barker who comes to a lot of my Rochester-area shows despite being a several-hours drive from Rochester, and so far TWO DIFFERENT TIMES I have found myself lacking a boom mic stand when attempting to join MC Lars on stage for our cover of "(Lord It's Hard To Be Happy When You're Not) Using The Metric System" and Mr. Barker has stepped on stage to offer himself as a human mic stand. He pledged at the "short song" reward level for my Pac-Man EP Kickstarter, and requested a song about "the life and times of a human mic stand." The end result was this here song. So thanks for Alex for the years of support, the salvation of two performances, and the inspiration for this neat little song, which is of course on the aforementioned new album. Vocals, backing vocals, programming, keytar, and production by Shoebox. Mastering by Devo Spice
