“A is for Atkins Park”
a musical review by hollygorock.I lost the game at Atkins Park.
No one told me that we were friends.
I never picked you for the team, but you know it’s still before the trade deadline.I’m sorry if I haven’t been back yet.
The Clouds and I had quite a time
and Kati’s jalapeno mac and cheese was excellent as well.
Atkins park caught me off guard.
The ratings were set in every metric.
A 5 out of 5.
It set the bar, the bar’s too high.
And B through Z, well, we shall see.
I’m sorry if I haven’t been back yet.
The Clouds and I, had quite a time
and Kati’s jalapeno mac and cheese was excellent as well.
They’re the traveling blinds.
No, they can’t see.
They’re driving around in a big brown bus.
They’re the traveling blinds.
Three of a kind beats a pair.
Straight beats trips.
Flush beats a straight.
Full House starred Bob Saget and John Stamos.
Big blind, small blind, chips ahoy!
Video Armageddon
Here’s another video we recorded last time Pike was in town. The song is a one-stanza summary of the movie The Wizard, and was a daily song from the blog in 2009. The studio version is also on the upcoming Huffy Hog LP!
Here’s a Stop The Revolution demo that never made it anywhere. It’s called, quite fittingly, Demo Demo Demo. We had a handful of these rough instrumental demos that we never wrote any words for and I always liked where this one was headed. It just never quite made it there. The bridge is pretty boss. It probably needs to be put into another song.
You could call this the first hollygorock track ever. It was recorded 15 years ago in my mom’s basement. I was in a few bands at the time, but this was the first time I recorded something all on my own. It’s an instrumental tune and I don’t think it has a name, but the file was called “MPL 826” so we’ll go with that.
