  (Tuberz McGee).

  Track 5 written and produced by Tuberz McGee.

  - Track notes -

  01. The Beginning of a Beautiful and Highly Sexual Relationship

    Exactly what it says on the box. Tuberz and halc pronounce and communicate their
  love for each other in a musical interpretation. We would have included the interpretive
  dance but it was shocking and had a high possibility of inducing cancer.

  02. Saber-Tooth

    Tuberz brought the Saber and halc brought the Tooth.

    Of course there''s nothing saying that it was a singular tooth.

    He could have brought several teeth.

    Wouldn''t that be lovely? If only it was Saber-Teeth.

    Those would come in handy.

  03. Cupcakes in Space

    The first track attempted for this release. It sounded awful (or something) and
  then halc worked his magic. <3 What a bro.

  04. Giraffes Don''t Take Kindly to Landmines

    Seriously. These guys just want to eat leaves and stuff man.

    Like... landmines just kill the mood y''know? Peace.

  05. Esoterica

    Solo VRC6 Chiptune by Tuberz McGee.

    Try anchoring that beat on your first listen. ;) Tuberz doesn''t mess around when
  it comes to metrically uncomfortable phrases.

  06. Fighting Famicom

    Solo VRC6 chiptune by halc. Coincidentally, also halc''s first NES-based solo
  chiptune composition ever. Prior to this he had only truly known the beauty of the
  Game Boy soundchip. Famicom had a bone to pick.

  07. It''s Kinda Like Jazz?

    I dunno, it sorta is.

    You can definitely feel a feel that feels feely, and that''s sorta like jazz.

    Nonetheless. It''s kinda like a cool excuse to chip solo.

  08. Squidzilla

    Tuberz offers his vocals to sing of the woes of a Giant Lawyer Squid and its eventual
  attack on Tokyo brought forth by years of antagonising and general lack of understanding
  towards his love of romantic novels.

     Now, if only he had fingers.

     Or we spoke Japanese.

  09. Psychedelic Panda Pounding

    Nothin'' to see here. Just some Pandas enjoyin'' a good time with some good friends.
  There are hardly any narcotics involved at all really. Seriously officer I swear,
  they''re not mine. I''m just holding them for a mate.

    The pounding thing? That''s just for alliteration''s sake.

  10. Menagerie

    The title track of the album.

    In other words, we couldn''t come up with another witty title so we opted for
  the ''self titled'' approach. Business is business.

    You''ll also probably see the pattern of ''oh he''s run out of patterns i guess
  this is where the solo starts''.

    lol'
