about

This is a studio demo written and recorded in one day by me, Mike TV. Because it was written and recorded so quickly, you may notice little rhythm hiccups or out of tune notes. I apologize for any distress these flaws cause you. I hope to someday go back and clean them up. And certainly if they make it on a Get Set Go record, or some other project, they'll be re-recorded and polished til they catch the light.

lyrics

Oh, the kids, the kids, they have become cyborgs.
And they're quietly freaking me out.
And they're quietly tearing things down.

I just can't think, I just can't eat
I just can't feel myself.
I just can't sleep, I just can't read
And I certainly can't spell.

We can't get any more connected.
Until we run tiny cables from our brain stems.
And we're growing so very disaffected.
They're amused, so amused, we amuse them.
And there's just no getting over this, there's just no single cure
There's a hive mind of vapid, base stupidity and it's pounding down our door.

We can't get away, there's no getting out.
There's no escape hatch other than shutting down.
But we've got so many distractions
Pretty lights illuminate new attractions.
So just let go and be a part of the dumbing out of all great art.
Here's another brand-new technology to replace your beating human heart.

about

Get Set Go Austin, Texas

Get Set Go is criminally under-appreciated.

However, they still make the best music you've never heard.

Get Set Go recommends:

Lucky Fucker
by S.A. Bach

Sebastian, hands down, is one of the most singular and passionate and skilled songwriters I have ever known. Like, if you know me at all, you know that those are the three metrics that matter. Get Set Go

Ash
by Eric Lea

Eric's music is everything you could ever want from someone that knows all the tiny bits about how music is made and still says, fuck it, I'm making MY music. I have learned so much from him. Get Set Go

Let the Machines
by John Brownell and his Spare Parts

John's newest record is the only album I have encountered that is trying to grapple with the idea that machines are taking over, and we're pretty okay with that. And that is pretty darn awesome! Get Set Go
