Perhaps inspired by a misremembered line of T.S. Eliot? I thought the line was, "I have measured out time in teaspoonfuls."
The proper line is "I have measured out my life in coffee spoons."
Oh well. I like my bungled line better.

The experiment here was to program a rhythm at a fairly slow tempo, then speed it up way too much.

Basically a drum-n-bass remix of my earlier song "Mike The Considerate Center For The Performing Arts".

Somewhat Residents-inspired. The rhythm is me breathing heavily and slapping my desk, run through a lot of reverb.

Originally my idea was to improvise half a conversation, then also improvise the other half as a different character - I ended up deciding just having half the conversation was funnier. Kinda unintentionally inspired by "Pollo Asado" by Ween.
