TimTTT I've started a review of this a few times and something always distracted me. I'm kinda glad It took this long, because it's given me a few reasons to keep going back & exploring this LP,

Steampunk girl is my favorite track. While I feel it could be easy for the song to be hockey, it has an undeniable tenderness & heart. Also, it's just plain catchy.

Also, who hasn't felt Batman got a bad rap? Favorite track: Steampunk Girl.

Mike Reid John's music is always guaranteed to move my mind towards that state where all will be well, even if sometimes the lyrics tug at my heart. He's the Blue Lantern of my music collection. Favorite track: Batman Smells (A Rebuttal).

Cherie slides the gate and closes up for the night walks through the mall and sighs Gets in her Chevrolet and blasts The Cure and The Smiths puts her flask to her lips Takes Exit 22 and pulls in her parking space climbs up the fire escape Steps into her bedroom and crashes on to her bed Rips stockings from her legs She looks in the mirror and thinks that it's time to start another life. So, she's putting on her goggles and a bowler hat She checks her pocket watch, adjusts her rocket pack She laces up her boots and puts her makeup on She grabs her leather coat and her Tesla Gun Cause she used to be a Goth Kid but now she's a Steampunk Girl. She dreams of brass and gaslight Imagines taking a trip on a steam powered ship Instead she hops a flight to a Sci-Fi convention, now it's her intention to finish her novel and go back to school and learn to live again. So, she's putting on her goggles and a bowler hat She checks her pocket watch, adjusts her rocket pack She laces up her boots and puts her makeup on She grabs her leather coat and her Tesla Gun Cause she used to be a Goth Kid but now she's a Steampunk Girl.

I got an e-mail from a reader who said he loved an author who wrote epic fantasy He asked me if I thought the writer should feel like he's required to finish up the series and this is what I said: George R.R. Martin is not your bitch no matter how much you gripe George R.R. Martin is not your bitch so you might as well go get a life I said: If you think the books are entertaining it's best to stop complaining writers just aren't machines George Martin never signed a contract to just work on that project so find something else to read Have you tried Fevre Dream? Chorus

Took some time and hacked the toaster This steampunk oven timer's swell, what the hell? Let's a build a LEGO rollercoaster The boy can take it to show and tell. And all is well. Chorus: People say I'm a GeekDad My co-workers think I'm a nerd People say I'm a GeekDad But my wife just thinks I'm absurd. Our coffee maker seems redundant There must be a better way, what you say? Solar energy's abundant Even if we fail we'll be okay with our new deathray. Chorus A working TARDIS in the basement A Stargate portal on the lawn Trans-dimensional displacement helps the traffic move along. Chorus

I fire up my new laptop and read the mail in my inbox there's something there I can't believe so I go and check my Twitter feed I see I've got a brand new follower and she seems to be in her bedroom all alone But she's a Pr0nbot but I think I love her She's a Pr0nbot but I think she cares She's a Pr0nbot She's not like the others She's a Pr0nbot but she cares for me Jenny1991 said she's in it for the fun She wants to meet with me tonight but something just doesn't feel right I think that we're moving way to fast and I think that she doesn't even know my name At least she's not a social media guru promising new followers each day

I'm home all alone, I pick up my iPhone I tap the screen and launch Safari I navigate to a page and I'm sent into a rage I wanted fun but now I'm sorry I check the address of the site and I know that it's right but the only thing I see is a Blue Lego I see a Blue Lego I want to see a video but the only thing I see is a Blue Lego I see a Blue Lego I want to see a video but I can't because Steve Jobs hates Flash I want a new iPad but it's making me sad I won't be able to watch Hulu It's just a device but it just won't suffice if I can't watch Kirk and Sulu I want to play Farmville but I won't get my fill The only thing I see is a Blue Lego I see a Blue Lego I want to see a video but the only thing I see is a Blue Lego I see a Blue Lego I want to see a video but I can't because Steve Jobs hates Flash Steve Jobs Hates Flash

Angry Robot 02:39
Angry Robot; plotting the overthrow of all mankind Angry Robot; thoughts of Armageddon on his mind Don't look him in the eye, he's an Angry Robot The Angry Robot wasn't always mad He started out so happy but things went bad Cause when he hooked up to the internet what he saw there filled him with pained regret He wanted to go on a killing spree to rip the souls from meatbags and set them free His Asimovian circuit wouldn't let him kill just anyone he met. Angry Robot; plotting the overthrow of all mankind Angry Robot; thoughts of Armageddon on his mind Don't look him in the eye, he's an Angry Robot But angry as he was the robot knew there was no violent thing that he could do He learned about the Singularity when chips & blood become one entity The human system software is a mess but the robot knew that with success a robot/human hybrid he would be and he could kill with equanimity Angry Robot; plotting the overthrow of all mankind Angry Robot; thoughts of Armageddon on his mind Don't look him in the eye, he's an Angry Robot

Batman Smells (A Rebuttal) by John Anealio It's Christmas Eve at the Hall of Justice and Aquaman is wearing a Santa cap Superman is mixing up the egg nog and Wonder Woman is sitting on his lap The Hawk Man is putting the star on the tree The Boy Wonder seems to be out of town The Green Arrow is hanging the stockings The Caped Crusader is nowhere to be found Cause every year some children ruin Jingle Bells By incorrectly proclaiming that Batman Smells But I don't think that Batman smells When he rings his bat jingle bells and I don't think that Robin laid an egg Yeah I don't think that Batman smells if he did, how could you tell? I just know that the Joker got away The Martian ManHunter said they should search for them Don't they know that song is just a joke The Flash found them hanging out at a hotel bar They were drunk on whiskey and diet coke The Green Lantern comes and aims his power ring creates a Green Guitar and then begins to sing Refrain

A supernatural wedding day A blushing bride, a groom in a cage. She could have had any man she desired Like a teen werewolf or an old vampire But she loves her Zombie Man This is an Undead Love Song Everyone will think it's wrong They just don't understand those Zombie moans Lovers need not be alive for true love to survive A fragile heart need not rot alone When they went on their honeymoon They drank champagne in their hotel room But then the bride went into shock When his foot fell off and he lost his c*** But she loves her Zombie Man This is an Undead Love Song Everyone will think it's wrong They just don't understand those Zombie moans Lovers need not be alive for true love to survive A fragile heart need not rot alone But it ain't easy being married to an undead lover the bride is always under attack People ask her: Why can't she find another And why is she a Necrophiliac?

I had an old white shirt and a store-bought mask And a broken water gun within my grasp My tattered pants were lined with electrical tape. It was the greatest costume that was ever made And I wish I could relive that holiday When I dressed up like a Stormtrooper for Halloween My dad was a ghost, my friend was Wolverine And these memories will surely haunt my dreams tonight. I marched down Fleetwood street in my black rubber boots We went from door to door collecting our loot I wouldn’t eat the candy in my pillow case Because I refused to take the mask off my face Now, I’m putting on my mask again and lacing up my boots With my son dressed up like Anakin in his jedi costume
