co-pilot is my god

Liner Notes

very quick post-work write / record after a laughably shit meeting at work in which a guy proudly declared that the company was investing $1.5 billion in AI technology and then immediately revealed that he didn't really know what it was

he was dressed as "an olympic event"

this riff was taken from my voice memo archive where it was saved as "Open string plucky charmer"

#grunge #fuckmyjob #lalala

Lyrics

you're contradicting yourself and your costume won't disguise it we'll forget the silly hat, not the panic in your eyes

we saw the sweat on your brow, we heard your excuses creaking did you realise you were wrong when you heard yourself speaking?

the applause you expected, the triumph you had planned crushed under the investment in technology you don't understand

you're not buying what you're selling - you're clearly the wrong choice but you didn't realise it until you heard your own voice

they pulled the plug, they pulled the rug, and now your brain is leaking did you realise you were wrong when you heard yourself speaking?

As nuts as that meeting was, great FAWMing material - and you cut a very fine from that cloth. "Did you realise you were wrong when you heard yourself speaking?" Not only is this a brilliant lyric, it could also be the title for the 'how not to manage" book I would definitely buy!

Love the vague-posting indie-rock. Unfortunately relatable (perhaps not the Olympics costume element)

$1.5 billion? Sounds like a shit show, fk that guy!

This song on the other hand is anything but - awesome lyrics and the plucky charmer riffs are bang on.

Oh this is the "I hate my job" song. I think this might be straight in as one of my favourite Vom songs - the short & punchy grunge/pop-punk vibe works so well.

I have to ask though, how does one dress as "an olympic event"?

@vomvorton 7h

I missed the start of the meeting so I'm not really sure why the whole thing was Olympic themed? But everyone had on ice hockey gloves or was carrying a fucking javelin or something, it was intensely annoying

@lonelyrobot 6h

This sounds very much like an episode of The Office 😄

YEAHHHHH Love that line “they pulled the plug, they pulled the rug, now your brain is leaking.” Such a fun arrangement too!!

@fuzzy 8h

Awesome Liner Notes there. Glad I'm retired so I don't have to put up with nonsense anymore. Ooh, so jangly!! Yeah, I love me some poppy goodness! "Ooh lalala" lol, nice! Great tune you got here.

@spikedirection 8h

I hate jobs and I hate AI and you’ve captured that feeling perfectly. Thanks for doing this V-Man! X

Wow that was a jackhammer of a song, and so quick I had to pop it on twice. I love that arpeggio, it's almost banjo-coded. And that fuzz sound when it comes in is amazing! This is almost shoegaze, but with la la BVs. Really enjoyed this fury.
