Having Fun With Ryo on Stage #bocchitherock

NIJIKA: "s-sorry ryo, bocchi's had another RECYCLING BIN-CIDENT... could you keep the crowd OCCUPIED for a bit?"
RYO: "k."
----
RYO: "this next song is so EPIC, —a foreign adversary interpreted our sound-check as a MISSILE LAUNCH and has now sent NUCLEAR retaliation."
----
RYO: "you heard it here first, btw."
AUDIENCE: "wait fr?" "shit hold on" "mom? dad?"
----
NIJIKA: "that sounds more like a TERRIFIED crowd to me."
RYO: "any TIMPANI backstage? need 'em for my routine."

my fav album of the decade WAS a 90-minute magnum opus of DIY culture-jamming everything-pop woven thru dozens of the most heartfeltly insane song interpolations ever recorded. now it's another one 👍
