about

“Watered Down Demon Fuzz” is something I read in the cd insert of Beck’s “Mellow Gold”, one of my all time favorite albums. The title track is my ode of sorts to the legendary Daniel Johnston. The song starts with my rendition of “Devil Town”, then leads into my signature bogus poetry over a beat sampling “Some Things Last a Long Time”. It ends with a sample from “Held the Hand”, where Daniel bangs on the piano over a drum break from Ty Segall’s “Pan.” I wrote the lyrics one night after listening to as many Daniel Johnston albums as I could. I was very inspired and this is what it brought out of me. “No mail today, Grandma Death” is a reference to Donnie Darko, which sets up my disappointment throughout the final lyrics. “I use this soundscape to escape / I thought I found man, I found ape / I found a gun in my hand aimed at God, saying give me what you got / It’s not a lot, it wasn’t much, it wasn’t enough.” Simply meaning, I want more out of life.

lyrics

I was livin' in the demon fuzz
Didn't know it was the demon fuzz
Oh lord I really got the bug
About the demon fuzz

And all my friends were watered down
Didn't know they were watered down
Turns out I was watered down myself
In the demon fuzz

I was livin' in the demon fuzz
Didn't know it was the demon fuzz
Oh lord I really got the drug
About the demon fuzz


An alligator with 2 heads
Playing dentist in the shed
Me and you newly wed
Eating breakfast in bed
From shady farms to snake mountain
All of you keep on doubting
But I don't know or see why
I wanna stab my past and watch it die

3 legged dog
Teach me how to jog
When the chuckleheads stop talking
And space ducks keep walking

I'll be killing monsters again
I've found myself a best friend

A plunger with starry eyes
The undertaker finds it hard to cry

She's so famous and I'm so blind
Bodega cat won't leave my side

No mail today grandma death
Superstitious tongues stay unfed
Jesus fucking Christmas go get a job
I haven't made my mind up about a god

When I die, don't tell my mom
I don't want her sad when I'm gone

The chuckleheads will stop talking
Space ducks will keep on walking
I'll be killing monsters again
I've found myself a very best friend


It sounds good
It sounds great
I use this soundscape to escape
I thought I found man, I found ape
I found a gun in my hand aimed at God
Saying give me what you got
It's not a lot
It wasn't much
It wasn't enough
