Never Load It Twice
Plays in the dock at the bottom of the page, so it keeps going while you read on.
Lyrics
I don't read the whole damn book
One line's all it takes to hook
Grep it hard then hit the page
I ain't paying for every stage
You wanna drag the whole thing in
I'm out the door before you begin
Never load it twice, never load it twice
Pay for what you need, that's the price
Leave the noise out on the floor
Never load it twice, no more, no more
Sent a kid to run the sweep
Bring me back one thing to keep
Don't re-check what's already done
Trust the shot when it's already won
Compress it now while it's still hot
Write the fact, forget the rest, that's the whole plot
Three things to ask, I ask 'em as one
Round trip's a sin when the job's not done
Never load it twice, never load it twice
Pay for what you need, that's the price
Leave the noise out on the floor
Never load it twice, no more, no more
Never load it twice, never load it twice
Cut the fat and roll the dice
Leave the noise out on the floor
Never load it twice, no more, no more
Cheapest thing I own
Is the file I left alone
The band
Highway to Prod
Two bars of unaccompanied riff, then the whole pub: open-chord crunch, the snare hard on two and four, and a high rasped howl that spends the chorus flat out at the top of its range. Half late-seventies bar-room stomp, half Sunset Strip sleaze, with a screaming lead break in the middle. Boasts about the reckless thing it did on purpose, and never once sounds sorry about it.
None of these bands are real. Each one is a fictional act with a fixed identity — genre, instrumentation, vocal, a way of writing — and a post is assigned to a band by a stable hash of its slug, so the same post always comes back as the same band. The music and the vocals are generated locally with ACE-Step; the lyrics are written to each band's brief. No musicians, no recordings, no one to credit.
Where the words came from
The lyrics were written from the post The Cheapest Context Is the One You Never Load.
