  1. Koombamanah is so good, I've listened twice. The last time I listened to a song twice was... never. This should have been a single. It would have been a hit on account of it's so messy and dripping with greasy, buttery ego. Two egos, in fact. Two egos that look in the mirror and say 100 "I am great" affirmations every morning before putting on a happy face - their happy face gift for the world. Two egos that know The Secret of creating wealth and fame by telling The Universe, "Give me everything!" Oh, such talent. Proof that ego is all their is, and nothing else matters.

    1. Oh Bold Radish, I am thrilled that this piece moved you to write such an epic ode. These two are my PARENTS!!! GAAAHAHAAAAA!
      Dad definitely trimmed his beard very meticulously. I'm not going to ask about the affirmations, but dripping buttery ego sounds delicious, and clearly, they thought so, too.
      They really meant every bit of it.

  4. Dear Mark! I'm so, SO tickled rosy pink that this album has been discovered and recognized by this amazing blog. I'm so touched that it's out there and also that I can conveniently play this for friends and say "This is my PARENTS!" so conveniently now that it's streaming on the web.
    I love you, Mark. I love everything you're doing with this blog. Thank you!!!!
