faKescaPe: dropout; another pointless song to help you get along they say you reap what you sow so I don't care to watch this grow looking for the big delete from now on I walk the one way street lalalala lalalala every word that they say is a way to sink the day overwhelmed by mental fluff i had to climb out of that stuff lalalala lalalala take away the daily noise of all the girls and boys take away the sport take away my cynical retort lalalala lalalala lalalala lalalala <end

faKescaPe: mantra; i can explain my behavior i can explain the things I do i lock up all the doors i turn out the lights i open all the drawers i get into fights the telephone is pulled from the wall don't try to reach me don't try to call i do the things i'm told to do i do it all for me i do it all for you i can explain i can explain i can explain my behavior i can explain the things I do i don't go out the door i never drive my car i'm tearing up the floor i'm watching from afar i'm blacking out the window panes i'm shutting off the power i'm plugging all the drains i do the things i'm told to do i do it all for me i do it all for you i can explain i can explain <end

about

Fakescape was J of the Casual Distractions, who came in one day and told us he had been listening to a lot of vintage RevCo and Nitzer Ebb and wanted to knock off his own batch of lo-fi industrial pop.

"It'll be easy," he said. "The songs are simple. I'll be out of here in a couple days."

Months later, the studio was still chock full of his blinking boxes. He had used every one of our power strips, alarming the local fire department.

Fortunately for us, the Distractions soon had to depart for their extended tour of Thailand, which was another story entirely, and J had to pack up. At that point, the cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" had no vocals. J promised to complete them after the tour; however, in his absence, Randy Rabbit of the Irascible Bastards had a listen and decided to do the vocals himself. The Distractions were outraged on their return but had to admit that Randy had done a good job. T Bone mixed the track, and the result is what you hear.

[Note: This cover of "Enjoy the Silence" is no longer available on Bandcamp but is readily available elsewhere on the interwebs.]
