about

In the not-so-distant future, a solitary lover walks the streets of Tokyo recalling the somewhat recent story of a paramour who took charge of her own pleasure by employing an interactive undergarment communicator. This advanced technological hybrid enabled intimacy in long distance relationships even when lovers couldn't or chose not to meet in person. Discussion questions for after the song: Did this "smartwear" surmount time and space to allow their relationship to survive? What other obstacles are present in relationships? Can regular unconnected underwear still be considered a communication device? Can you wear a phone? Is interactive technology a suitable surrogate for physical interaction? What is a relationship anyway?

lyrics

Telethong

She wore a telethong
And she would
make me call her
all night long!

she always stayed up real late
she kept it set on vibrate
she said it made her feel great
under her sarong

She wore a telethong
And she would
make me call her
all night long!

she was not that into sexting
cuz text can need correcting
and dick pics disinfecting
boy, she wasn't wrong

She wore a telethong
And she would
make me call her
all night long!

well, it was Japanese technology
applying science to frivolity
she heard the ring-a-ling
and felt the tingling
long distance relationshiping
well, it delighted me when she invited me
into her interactive privacy
I did the dialing
pictured her smiling
strolling through Tokyo discovering

we'd never ever argue
frankly it was very hard to
and that's what brought an end to
our story in song

She wore a telethong
And she would
make me call her
all night long!

well, it was Japanese technologies
that provided possibilities
to hear the ring-a-ling
and feel the tingling
of long distance relationshiping
I did the dialing
pictured her smiling
strolling through Tokyo remembering
remembering
remembering

The Falsies Charlottesville, Virginia

How do we rock thee? Let us count the ways.
We rock thee to the depth and breadth & height
Our amps can reach, when feeding back all night
In our long sets, & with our lack of breaks.
We rock thee to the decibel of every stage's
Most violent need, by PA & strobing light.
We rock thee freely, as we scream in mics;
We rock thee purely, as we turn a phrase.
We rock thee... ... more
