Ultraklystron - Romance Language All tracks written, performed, mixed, recorded and produced by Karl Olson, except for "shoujo n' shonen," which was written and performed by Karl Olson, Danielle Prokop and David Cheong, and was recorded, mixed and produced by Karl Olson and David Cheong. Copyright 2007.
Romance Language tackles some different ground for nerdcore. The main focus of the disc is an 11 song arc about romance, love and various other things in that vein. Musically, everything from classic hiphop to crunk to grimecore to ambient/hiphop fusion is in play, likely much to dismay of perspective listeners. Meanwhile, the bonus tracks feature some remastered rarities from the RhymeTorrents compilations, some remixes (or perhaps rather premixes) of songs that'll be featured on Opensource Lyricist and some songs that ultimately didn't fit the flow of Opensource Lyricist or the arc nor of Romance Language. It clocks in 20 tracks officially, though there might be a few hidden tracks too ;). It's 8 bucks including S&H. Critical Praise for Romance Language: "Karl Olson weaves a complex web of sense images in his work [...] you won't be disappointed." - Z, Hipster Please!.

I've been busy focusing / on all these indirect kisses that I've been fumbling / and incorrectly talking to misses regardless of locality / be it comp-sci or sci-fi cons and these formalities / happen to take a toll upon my confidence in not / becoming a 40-year-old-virgin Even effects my driving / and the lanes in which mergin I try to not be / another hot topic emo child but the lack of success / only makes my manners mild I'd like to be Superman / but instead I'm Clark Kent I'd like to be Bruce Wayne / but I can barely make rent And now DC's gonna bust me / with a serious lawsuit See I'm paranoid trust me / I'm becoming an old coot Because I can't seem say / "would you like to date me?" Cause that's the paradigm / that governs this whole city I'm witty, when I have the pen / applied to the paper But when I talk it's all fads / like how you have my stapler ch. All I want is a Cosplay-Free Saturday Just you and me / Shootin through the breeze All I want is a Cosplay-Free Saturday Just you and me / Heading to the beach All I want is a Cosplay-Free Saturday Just you and me / Doing as we please All I want is a Cosplay-Free Saturday Just you and me / This I do I beseech v2. I'd like change to subjects / I'd like to sing about how I'm always awesomely direct / I'd like to say that but now I'm in character or atleast / that's my set of motions And I refuse disaude you / of that preconcieved notion I really think I could be / an outstanding boyfriend But at this point I'd take a girl / who'd make the world end Yeah she could be my lovely / ultimate weapon lady Doesn't need even back / because I am not that shady But that's easier said than done / I know you're thinkin "Son, Why don't you just grab a groupie / to get the job done" Well, though / my popularity is increasing Can't go / There without feeling like I'm fleecing Or capitalizing on my fans / for the wrong reason I don't want any girl with me / to feel like it's treason To her fellow fans to be with / the man they that they all desire I don't want it on my head / the fact that someone has expired br. So I'll persue an equal / who has similar interests Maybe a fellow otaku / with a side dish of hubris Maybe she plays pop n' music / Maybe she plays crystalis Maybe right out of Kyoto / Maybe from Ft.Worth-Dallas I just need to leave / infatuations by the side Find a reason to believe / a goal towards which I strive And do so nobly / without gratuitous pride And do so hopefully / before I turn 35 (ch.)x2
