Ultraklystron - Opensource Lyricist All tracks written, performed, mixed, recorded and produced by Karl Olson. Copyright 2005-2007.
The vaguely anticipated follow up to the relatively successful nerdcore LPs (in terms of Karl Olson's prior success,) Revision 4920 and Romance Language. Clocking in at about 80 minutes of original, new material and $14 including shipping and handling, Opensource Lyricist continues the tradition layed down in 4920 of confusing any and all listeners. Lyrically, the new LP not only stays true to the otaku-oriented roots of the first LP (earn it,) but expands into new territory, such as storytelling pieces about the life of a gachapon (coin figure,) talking with a producer at an anime con (priceless,) gnu public licencing (opensource lyricist) and even protest songs (so long kids.) Critical Praise for Opensource Lyricist: "I could probably sit down and come up with piles of accolades to pile up for each track, but honestly if you have heard any of the previous albums you should stop reading right now and go to his site and pick this one up." - Pure Defect "Do I recommend the CD? Highly." - Ben Boemer, Gaijin Side. "A devasting nerdcore masterpiece." - Jevon, Hi-Sci-Fi. "It's f***ing good!" - Garrett, Mega 64 Podcast Episode 66. Buy it now at the karlrolson.com merch store.

I don't need sleep / cause I'm making the whole scene Atleast that's what I say / but that's just a smoke screen I can't seem to find / no leisure or spare time When I'm working that grind / of the Five to Nine (repeat X 1) v1. Every single place / I'm seeing the same faces Memory glitches / Rewrites and erases Defining my self / Defaults to set labels Creation of self / Is defined by these fables Busting the same rhymes / and telling the same stories This new audience / buys these alegories. Though to me played out / and ought to be forgotten My brain's exhausted / and slowly going rotten And I gotta be cool / gotta act like a pro Always witty with my words / busting a fresh flow And if you've not heard it / then it's new to you And I know you've not heard it / and neither has your crew So then at this convention / I'll give you a nice dream Cause I'm too darn broke / to buy you an ice cream And I'm a not a mecha / no rockin the eye beams So I'll I spit what I have / until I hear the shy scream v2. Shooting pictures from the hip / while giving cosplay tips Calling in news at clip / while taking crook'd sips Of Vault and MDX / Recieving messages in text Quickly jotting down notes / through caffiene effects It's the burden of the press / though not everything's in ruin Cause I even interviewed / Miss Jessica Boone and I'd even say it's super cres / but my back is aching My feet are screaming out / as my backpack's breaking From all of the free swag / doujinshi by the bag And that radical rock / known as the Aggrocrag Free custom luggage tags / But I don't mean to brag Cause all of this sweet stuff / causes my spine to sag I'm not physically active / in my usual adventures So even pro bono goods can / earn a little of my censure Add to that the fact that at / the con I am a big spender And suddendly I need help / from an Earth Force Defender. bridge: Yeah by the end of con / my intellect is all gone Feeling like a zombie / Man I'm deader than Shawn And though my crew of friends / is tight like Genshiken When the con's at the end / I won't even pretend Cause we're all exhausted / perspicacity's frosted It's like we've been accosted / surprised no one's lost it But we keeping rolling on / though it's not on dubs This is the otaku style / we're rolling on fansubs
