The original lyric was titled "8 A.M." and was about how I don't like dogs. I don't hate dogs and would never want to harm them, but I'd be happier without them (I like kitties). It wasn't a very interesting lyric apart from the very beginning which is the only part that survives in this version. In 2007 I put those opening words over some music I had been working on and was left with nearly 3 minutes of instrumental. For Pistachio I wrote two new sections to create the idea of a never-ending nightmare, one which includes several moments of "waking up" that only lead to more awful visions. The "oh boy" at the end is for Laurie Anderson fans.

This is THE ALBUM about the drudgery of work and self doubt while trying to create something wonderful. I cannot recommend it enough. Planga-La Laboratories
If for nothing else, get this for the song "Snow." It kicks my ass every time I listen to it. It is everything I want to do as a songwriter. Planga-La Laboratories
Dreamy, intimate experimental pop, part of the artist's challenge to herself to write and record a song every single day of the year. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2017
