Joke Regime

By Cosmic Cairns on March 20, 2026 12:58 am

For the music I came up with a couple guitar lines I kind of liked and built around them.  For the lyrics, I just felt the need to vent a little.  No, they're not particularly mature and I realize it doesn't accomplish anything or offer any solutions, but it did blow a tiny little steam off, so I guess that's something.

And your leader's a
Grotesque bloated bag of sleaze
Swollen ankles gimpy knees
Vulgar with no moral code
Slow of wit and smells like chode
Low IQ belligerent
Unevolved illiterate
Dickish, crude, a chronic liar
Seeking sycophants for hire

Deeply unserious people
Causing majorly serious harm
A terrible joke
And only idiots are laughing

your venting feels like the truest light at the end of the deepest tunnel heart

"Deeply unserious people
Causing majorly serious harm"

badass guitaring on this one. sounds cathartic.

Ooooh love when the guitar goes from the theme to a bit of a blast off and then comes back.  I think the lyrics are perfect and cathartic.  Vent away!

Yeah great energy in this track! I like the energetic singing. That break with the synth was awesome. The rubber synth line is awesome, very cute.

A vent song, but with some of your prettiest sounds. Love the main guitar riff (6 bars! Sneaky). The big synth/guitar/piano layering from 0:36-1:06 is pop-rock joy, and the crash into the trem guitar is a nice shock. The grandiose organ into the circus bass and honks is another great transition. And I like that you can get silly even about that awful shithead (the alliteration in "Dickish, crude, a chronic liar/Seeking sycophants for hire").

Really nice, venting is warranted and in point. Dumpster fire on aisle 11.

What wonderfully cathartic lyrics.
That tremolo section in the middle is incredible! How did you do that??? Transcendant stuff.

I like a lot the catchy guitars.

That tremolo part is very cool.

Really like the vocals in, very up front. You packed a lot in 3m13 secs.

The rollicking Cosmic we rock to. Is that word cool? I like it.
Oh hell yeah, call out the BS Jokers please. That vocal rhythm made me think of We Didn't Start the Fire.
Awesome lyrics, i raise my glass of kombucha to you sir! preach. Fun trippy sounds happening, or rollicking and swirling.
Yeah agree, you packed a lot in for 3:13, ha.
Thanks for the comments, I'm gonna catch up on yours past couple weeks!


this is a rather cute?/sweet in a cosmic cairns soundtrack to blowing off of steam
it does help not to keep it all bottled up & to process
it is a lot

Thanks.  Just gotta let some steam out once in a while.

Thanks!  The guitar parts were the first thing I came up with and I like them pretty well.

Thanks!  The blastoff was fun and I definitely needed a little catharsis.

Thanks!  I suppose a little angry energy isn't the worst thing to bring to the table once in a while.

Thanks!  I tried to hopefully bring some sense of levity even as I was going off. And alliteration is always kind of nice, isn't it?

Absolutely a dumpster fire.  Thanks!

There were three separate guitar tracks and two different tremolo effects I ran them through.  I played chords on one of the tracks and single notes on the other two tracks.  Thanks for listening!

Yeah, I guess I did cover a decent amount of ground in the runtime.  It's nice when you can do a lot in a short amount of time.  Thanks for listening!

I can see how there's a little similarity to We Didn't Start the Fire there.  It's a good template for just kind of listing off a stream of things.  Thanks for listening!

Thanks!  Some weeks I try to just ignore it entirely, at least for the purposes of making music, but it isn't easy, and I agree it's not good to just keep it bottled up.  This felt like a good way to vent a little.

seriously fitting for these days. The synth leads work great! This has some strange Big Country vibe for in me in a strange way!

Yeah, it felt very of the moment.  I'm not super familiar with Big Country.  I'll have to check them out.
