Here at the World’s Shyest Band’s Myspace site, we are more desperate and starved for attention than ever. It’s pathetic, really, and many of you are probably shaking your heads, thinking, “How sad. I am embarrassed to even know these people. Have they really sunk this low?”
Yes, we have. We’ve sunk so low we’re giving away FREE Lapse CDs to anybody who wants one, just as, for years, we’ve given them away to people who DIDN’T want one but were too polite to say so. If you want a free Lapse CD, I’ll either deliver it to you in person (if I know you personally and you live somewhere in the Oxford, Miss. area) or mail it to you if you e-mail me privately with a snail mail address. (Oh, and don’t worry, I don’t stalk people anymore. I mean, sure, I’m TEMPTED, but I fight it. I-FIGHT-IT-EVERY-GODDAM-DAY, I-TELL-YOU!)
The CDs will contain the following tunes currently or previously featured on the Myspace site (although not necessarily in this order, and, yes, I know I use the term “tunes” loosely – just humor me, will you?):
Long-Gone Linda
Feel Young
The Aftermath of a Summer Rain
Goodbye, Virginia
How Bad Can It Be?
The Heartache Club
Beautiful
Come On, Make It Right
Summertime Girl
Gonna Make You Mine
Most likely the CD labels will not feature any eyecatching artwork (unless you’re really smitten with the Sony logo) …. well, maybe it will, if Quentin, my songwriting partner and our resident artiste, wants to create something, but that’s up to him. I’m not making any promises. Most likely what you’ll get is a silver-hued CD with the words “The Lapse” scrawled illegibly in magic marker across the top. And you’ll LIKE it, you’ll be glad to have it….. or, I swear to God, I WILL STALK YOU.
No, no, no. Ha-ha. Just kidding! I don’t stalk people anymore. I promise!!!!
Anyway, just let me know if you want one, and you’ll get one, and that will be that. Now we return you to your regularly scheduled programming…..
