Episode 10: The Professor Song (demo)
by Lauren on May 5th, 2007
In which Kristel and I perform one of the first songs we wrote together. It’s called The Professor Song and needless to say, the lyrics aren’t particularly wholesome. For obvious reasons.

By Our Band Has No Name!
It’s all your fault
coming into class like that
(fuckable man)
Coming into my head
(raping me there)
I want you
I want you…
NOW
Grab him by the ankles and
I’ll grab him by his arms and then
we’ll drag him to the back room and
let’s rob him of his charms and then
when we’re through we’ll leave him
bound and tied with time to think
I think professor…
It’s all your fault
teach me, show me, punish me
(I’ve been so bad)
I am ready for that
(oral exam)
I want you
I want to….
Grab him by the ankles and
I’ll grab him by his arms and then
we’ll drag him to the back room
and let’s rob him of his charms and then
when we’re through we’ll leave him
bound and tied with time to think
I think professor…
I deserve an A for that
Episode 9: Zombie (cover)
by Lauren on May 5th, 2007
In which Kristel and I perform our cover of Zombie. The full band version sounds far better of course, but we had to make do with nothing but my guitars and my multi-effects. It came out sounding pretty good. 
Episode 8: Allamistako (demo)
by Lauren on May 2nd, 2007
In which Kristel and I perform an original song called Allamistako, which is the closest thing to a love song that we’ll probably ever do. I think this is one of the most beautiful things she has ever written and I’m glad I was able to come up with an awesome guitar solo to match it. The douchebag that inspired Allamistako does not deserve this song at all (though he is, admittedly, very good looking–think a younger version of Hugh Grant).
Not to be an attention-whore or anything, but we do need your criticism. So please–comment whether or not you like it (with an explanation of why, of course).

So it goes down like this
Train crash meld against the rails
I head for the meltdown
Found you instead
I choke on my promises
You make things so simple
I’m left without defenses
I’m caught in the middle
I’m headed for your crash site now
Been greeted by the bright lights
Making all the right stops, baby
To see the sad-eyed boy tonight
I’m waiting for you
I wake in the morning
And it’s just so unreal
We say hello to our mistakes
and all the victims of your wake
I’m headed for your crash site now
Been greeted by the bright lights
Making all the right stops, baby
To see the sad-eyed boy tonight
I’m waiting for you
(wicked guitar solo goes here :D)
I’m leaving all the casualties behind
Just leaving all of them behind
I’m leaving all my senses this time
I’m leaving all that’s rational
I’m heading for your crash site now
Been greeted by the bright lights
Making all the right stops baby
To see the sad-eyed boy tonight
I’m waiting for you
Just waiting for you
I’m waiting for you now, oh baby
Just you
Just you
Episode 7: Bourgeois Suicide (demo)
by Lauren on May 1st, 2007
In which Kristel and I talk about depression and perform a song we co-wrote called Bourgeois Suicide. Among all the songs we’ve written, this is probably my favorite because it captures exactly how I feel when the bell jar descends.
Background music: Loro by Pinback
Bourgeois Suicide
By Our New Band Has No Name!
Watch me fall apart,
with pins stuck in my heart.
They say her daddy,
he’s got some money
but that don’t mean a thing
when you’re falling apart
by the seams
Nothing’s gonna make it right
Nothing’s gonna be okay
Everything shatters tonight
I can never make it right
He’s got the last say
Watch me lose control
at 21 years old
The future’s open
but I’m too broken
I’m far beyond repair
and there’s no escape
None for me
Episode 4: The Fanboy Experience
by Lauren on April 9th, 2007
In which my friend Mia and I talk about our combined experiences dating fanboys as a public service announcement to the hapless young woman who is about to get serious with a total dork.
Recorded using Garageband. It sounds more awesome.
