Info
I think these may be some of the best lyrics I've written so far. I managed to
incorporate half the squares from Hipster Bingo, along with a handful of
terminology from the Hipster Handbook, and a few other references. But damn,
"blog" is a really hard word to sing. My favorite part is "all aroud the country
they're putting on tiny black sweaters". Anyway, the reviews were good and I
got 13 votes, tying with Puce for 3rd, behind Ken and sonofsupercar (tied for
second at 14 votes), and A Kid Named Ace, who slaughtered everybody with 45 votes!

This one's pretty simple, just rhythm acoustic, lead acoustic, bass, and two vocal tracks.
For the most part the chords aren't too complicated either.
