Random electronic composition with Guitar run through a looper played by Matt Carr (live guitarist for NWSPR and T.I.M. The Intentional Misfit).  Analog synthesizers, turntables and text to speech.  The lyrics are taken from an email/post to our local Brooklyn Yahoo group where Jody offers to donate a box of Softcups for Hurricane Sandy relief. Her heart is in the right place but things take a twist towards the awkward when nobdy knows what a Softcup for Ladies is.  And now it is immortalized in this week's track and among a smug group of self satisfied and immature Brooklynites of which I am one.

Lyrics (Parts in parentheses not in the original Yahoo post):

Hello Ladies,

This may seem bizarre but I swear it's legitimate. I have about 30 individually wrapped samples of Softcups. (Softcups?  Softcups?  Softcup.)

I won't use them and I feel bad throwing them away.  (Girl, don't go throwing it away)

Let me know if you want any or all of them. Pick up by the old Key Foods.

(Softcups?  Softcups?  Softcup.)

What is Softcup?
Softcup is a flexible cup that is worn internally, around your cervix. It collects, rather than absorbs menstrual flow. It's hypo-allergenic, latex-free and completely safe when used as directed.

(Softcups.)

For more information on Softcups go to www.softcup.com

Also, I'd be happy to donate these to as part of (Hurricane) Sandy Relief efforts. Does anyone know of any organizations taking feminine hygiene?

Thanks,
Jody

(Softcups?  Softcups? Thanks Jody.)

(Softcups? Thanks Jody.)

(Softcups? Thanks Jody.)

(Softcups? Thanks Jody.)

(Softcups? Thanks Jody.)

(I like to imagine them like tiny hats for your cervix when it's sad.)

(Don't throw it away girl.)

(Softcups? Thanks Jody.)
