A choked highway
In and out of a riot drug metropolis
Slicked with cheap oil
Fast and easy, slow and hours long
Paris Hilton’s vagina

Ghetto rock for Princess
Pipe pages, a sticky magazine
slow tongue in the basement
high on the American dream
Paris Hilton’s vagina

What is that from?

Does anyone have all of those old history teacher songs from back in the day? I used to have them because someone posted them on the metro, but now that the metro doesn't exist....basically i'm doing this for yannic and reno.

yeah, cabbage(renow) downloaded a song called entresol, and it said it was on a record called broken. the only thing i can find about it is this list of lyrics from it and 5 other albums ive never heard of.

i knew he made folk music pre-mgb, but i thought he only released one album and it was called history teacher..explaination? :freak:

History Teacher is combination of four demo's (Broken, Euphony, 15 Hours on a September Thursday and Left of Normal) and some loose Rodchester Kings songs (Rodchester Kings is Matt's old band).

History Teacher is not an official release, and I believe Matt even filed a lawsuit against the guy who made it. Still, loads of fans download the demo songs and call the record History Teacher.

I have all the demo songs, but not the Rodchester Kings ones. They're really good.

ooooh, cool. was it actually made as a record, or just a group of songs you could download together? how many songs are in there in total?

Lydia · Post by **Lydia** » 3/17/2004, 7:22 am

As a record. He even sold quite a few copies of History Teacher, which is why Matt sued him :lol:

There are 33 demo songs. You can find a tracklisting <a href="http://www.bohemiansoul.net/cd/historyteacher.html">here</a> (not including the Rodchester Kings songs).

deniedjunkie · Post by **deniedjunkie** » 3/17/2004, 12:16 pm

yes, now you have to actually look for the news yourself

Lydia · Post by **Lydia** » 3/17/2004, 12:32 pm

Well, I never read Matt's blog for the news links (I rarely read those), but because I am interested in what he thinks.
