Main Theme 02:37
i'm haunted by dreams where i have a girlfriend She whispers in my ear and turns on the AC it's so real it's so real so real, so real, so fake She grabs the wheel And evades the cops Right hand on my clutch I've turned into an automobile So real, real, so fake, it's so real i used my powers to blow up town hall The ceilings are getting longer she kissed me on the odometer so sensitive on the odometer i just woke up and i now realize my lifelong dream of becoming a state-of-the-art automobile made by general motors, but it was just that—a dream Cause I’m not playin around When I say that the Earth was Truly made for each of us That’s equality of opportunity That the system won’t provide No matter how hard we try The ones in power retain their power Selling lies to voters like Doctors prescribe antibiotics With no concern for the future Just trying to stay focused on the now Well look at it now, look at it now Look at it now, look at it now

Saltine, cocaine Tapping on the windowpane And it's not enough Vagrancy, vital Though their survival Disturbs presences Privilege is daft The stereotype you waft Waving your hand round So you hate the rich But you hate the poor A talking head, you're nothing more Such a misanthrope I hope you choke, and That's just how it is All that you can do Spending your cash for interviews Just to look like shit Post-9/11 Neoliberalism Essays about Kid A So you hate the rich But you hate the poor A talking head, you're nothing more Such a misanthrope I hope you choke, and That's just how it is

Go! i don't understand why you looked at me i know when the wind blows out at sea i also know you want to sail with me Sometimes, in life, you're no more than a pen and paper. Others, you're a sealed can, ready to be opened—to see inside. Some are green beans, some are garbanzo, some are black beans, some are pinto—and every now and then, you are—baked beans. Open me up! I'm a can, you're my can opener! We go together, like wind and sails. Take me out to the water, and when I mean water, I'm talking condensed. Open me up! Canned in a factory! In a boat! Baked beans! Coffee comes from baked beans. Can opener, baked beans! That's me.

about

What is considered an ideal recording process when making an album?
Every artist has their own, and with that their own crazy anecdotes. The story of ours is no different--

Starting with the fairy tale, old as time itself, our little group started with the ever-powerful lusting affection to rebel against the norms of a pressuring society—a society that feeds off of alienating its own with falsified wealth manifested in million dollar homes and a handful of Mercedes Benz’ as well as taking to prescription medicine as a resort to one's own insecurities and lack of gratitude; I digress. The plan was simple. We were to enlist a movement of rebellious youth to play any music of their liking in a public setting. Like any good dream, it is only good in your head. Despite that flop, it did find itself in the recording of our first extended play record.

The recording process began in March of 2020. From there the finishing touches in songwriting and production were made. The recording lasted up until August. From there began the looming trouble of mixing and mastering this piece of music. It was not as much the problem of having to learn the rules of mixing and mastering, much more sleepless nights of caffeine and attention deficit medication, mixed with Del Taco at 4:00 am, in being able to clear the rungs of mixing and mastering. This proved to have quite some effect on member Monty Cime…

Regardless of the mistakes made, and prospects lost, we are happy to say we have at least made 23 minutes of music from it all. We hope you find some enjoyment in this babbling, remote, and contradictory piece we call, “The Costco Boyfriend EP”

With a name that sticks like flies to feces, Costco Boyfriend has been tearing up the local bedroom scene of southern Orange County. Analysts predict that by the end of 2021, Costco Boyfriend will be a worldwide household name.

Here is what some have to say about Costco Boyfriend's debut EP—The Costco Boyfriend EP:
"I like the one with the shoes" – Girl
"Costco Boyfriend CAN practice!" – Ian's doctor
"Orange County's #1 top purveyor of revolution" – someone
"코스트코 남자 침구 #1"

about

Syzygy Records Aliso Viejo, California

Syzygy Records isn't a label; it is a portfolio of every project I, Monty Cime, have created.
When I was 11, I learnt the word "syzygy," & in trying to show an example of it, conjectured that "art is the result of an alignment (a "syzygy") of influences & life experiences beyond one's control"—these are my "Syzygy Records."
This conjecture, I came to find out, is a tenet of historical materialism.
