american, u

Oh snap! I forgot to update the Democore page before I left for work, so here I am during my break, making an entry for a song that you can’t listen to on the regular page. Thankfully, there IS one song on the Black Candy Plus Myspace that hasn’t been talked about here, so hopefully once the Democore page gets updated by tonight, BC+’s Myspace will be completely out of date. Well, I guess maybe not COMPLETELY, but you get the picture…

Anyway, this entry marks the first of many songs in the American series. Each letter tries to correspond to a sound that corresponds to a word. Sometimes, especially with something like American, U, it works rather well. They tend to be oddly experimental, although this one is relatively straightforward, along the lines of New Haven Dance Party.

But why did I choose to label these songs “American”? Maybe it was an observation that I felt as an American ON Americans, or maybe I was trying to be patriotic somehow, or maybe I was trying to create a new national anthem and make a bundle of that sweet, sweet American money. Mmmm, U.S. dollars…

Which reminds me: I need to change the last song in the (expectations) archive to say “american, n”. Silly me, I wouldn’t repeat an American series song on two consecutive albums!
