BULL
SHIT

[MC Pee Pants]

The audio is way better without the animation. That shit is distracting, but its still fantastic. Mr.Walkdown Me.

[Chigworthy]

The .mp3 from the album sounds way worse than the track used for the animation. How they do this?

[RAAMONE]

who bought this floor?

[Death Metal Moe]

I laugh like a little idiot every time I hear it. I heard it during an O&A replay and that night it was on my video iPod. Been playing it for friends, they all seem to like it too.

[Chigworthy]

It's in my zune talk playlist that I listen to while I sleep. I'm hoping for some wierd dreams if it ever pops up.

[biozombie]

I was pissed that they didn't play it right after Bill Burr mentioned it like a month or two ago.

I'm the treemeister, I count on them!

I think I heard Bill Burr is in N.Y.
So if they have him on soon. That could happen this time.

[HBox]

It's GAHBAGE.

[ChrisTheCop]

This has been circulating around work for months.
Everyone that sees it loves it!

Not my chair not my problem, thats what I say.

[ANC]

I ripped the audio in mp3 format and it's available here (http://onebullettest.com/MSGBRD/sounds/DrinkingOutOfCups.mp3) if anyone wants.

[hanso]

Is the video of what the guy was watching posted anywhere?
Syncing the video & audio up might be something worth while.

[Slumbag]

Been playing it for friends, they all seem to like it too.

My friends have all become obsessed with this.

[slames]

you don't like the lighthouse? you suck.

[instrument]

yeah, that was dumb.

Allegedly he was in a closet tripping balls. It is just audio, no video.

[Chigworthy]

Thank ye. I'm gonna compare it to the album version and get to the bottom of this mystery.

[hanso]

Allegedly he was in a closet tripping balls. It is just audio, no video.
But it sounds like he sees a video.
He is giving a "color trails " commentary.

I find it unlikely that he is seeing all this stuff from just a trip.

does it matter really? who talks about chairs and floors like that? just take it @ face value and enjoy...or don't...whatever

[Slumbag]

My buddies chick thinks she figured this out, and I think she may be right.

She thinks the dude was watching some house fix-up show (I think it may be This Old House).
Different people show you different parts of the house. So the Mr. Walkway part was the guy showing the entrance to the home. And apparently there's a guy that teaches you three different knots in every episode, and he's the King of Tying Knots. The Seahorse shit was the patterns of wallpaper in one of the rooms.


He's also talking about the chairs and the floors.
I think she may be onto something, I just wish I could remember what show she said.

Why don't you ask her, or are you two not on speaking terms anymore ?

Dan Deacon on "Drinking Out Of Cups" (http://www.evolvehappy.com/2009/07/dan-deacon-on-drinking-out-of-cups.html)


Dan Deacon sets the record straight. Stupid internet. Stupid dresses.

"the video for 'drinking out of cups' (2003 meetle mice) seems to be going viral again, this time in the comedy world. sara silverman posted it on her twitter and 'opie and anthony' discussed it on their radio show. there is an amazing amount of disinformation and completely wrong information about this piece and i just want to clear some things up.

in 2002 i recorded myself watching television with the sound off doing a character that was meant to embody long island culture (where i grew up). i was NOT on acid when i made this piece. i have NEVER DONE ACID.

while i have no problem with psychedelics and think that they are important to human culture, i do want it to be known that i was not on any psychedelics or any drugs while making this piece. it was all stream of conscience, reacting to watching the tv, changing the channels, with the sound of, talking to it as if it were a person communicating back to me.

the track was on my 2003 album meetle mice. in 2005 or 2006 liam lynch came across the track as it was getting passed around on message boards and file sharing sites. he contacted me about making a video for it and about using my song 'big big big big big' as the theme song to his podcast show. i love liams work and of course said yes. the video has grown in popularity to the point where i get fan mail from soliders in iraq, blog about my celebrity comedians and its gotten 2.8 million views on youtube.

this is all great and whatever but i want people to know this video was created without drugs or acid. i'm glad that people like the video but lets just make this perfectly clear:

1. I WAS NOT ON ACID WHILE MAKING THIS VIDEO

2. I WAS NOT LOCKED IN THE CLOSED AND BEING RECORDED

3. I RECORDED THE TRACK 100% SOBER

4. I USED THE TRACK A SCHOOL PROJECT AS A SOLO VOICE/TAPE PIECE

5. I HAVE NEVER DONE ACID, AND LIKE JEFF LEWIS, NO I DON'T WANT ANY ACID, THANK YOU

6. YES, THAT IS ME TALKING AND I WROTE THE PIECE

7. ITS A CHARACTER SATIRIZING LONG ISLAND STEREOTYPES

8. THE SONG CAME OUT IN 2003

9. THE VIDEO CAME OUT IN 2006

its really insane to me that i have been the subject of two separate viral videos that exist simultaneously inside and outside of my music career. the internet is a strange place. i don't really know how i feel about this kind of stuff. while my work is weird and some what 'experimental' its not that weird or that 'experimental' where it should cause so much confusion and bewilderment among the mainstream audiences that it comes across. but i guess thats what happens when anything is out of the immediate ordinary.

anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. please stick up for me if you see on message boards or youtube comment sections or anywhere if you see it being stated that i am on acid while making that piece. i made the piece to be funny and a piece of absurd humor. it was edited down and crafted with care. while it seems like a mindless ramble, some time and effort went into making it. if that ads or distracts from the piece so be it, it wasn't meant to be a process piece and i never thought i'd be explaining it or that it would be seen by nearly 3 million people.

i guess i should just be glad so many people enjoy it. however, to have it be stated that i was on acid time and time again takes away from any of the creative process i put into the piece. i'm not sure i'm getting my point across but i am tired of writing this and need to get back to work on whartscape. love you all.

[HeyGehry]

I heard the guy who made this was on acid.

[Holes]

I liked it so much better when acid was involved.

[hanso]

A real video synced to match the song would be better/more funny than the lizzard what ever it is video.
