So we did not choose our one true airband song last night. Instead, we watched the Olympics, got way too excited about luging, and conceived a whole new fourth album which aims to shake up the EU and answer that eternal question 'what the hell's up with Andorra?' Yes, we want to create, like, one of those Tommy-style rock opera things about the simultaneous attempt by both France and Spain to absorb Andorra and the historic way they overshoot and end up absorbing each other as well, thereby forming the country of Spance (Anspance if you count Andorra, but it will be tragically overlooked to enhance drama), where the people are Franiards and the cuisine is Spench. This album will feature the Andorran's touching lament 'So, Apparently, We're Frannish Now??!!?!" and the bitter and hard-hitting choral piece in which the entire civil war-torn nation of Spance rejects Latvia's attempt to spread peace through the power of luge, "Forget the Luge, Give Us Your Firearms."
Goddamn it, if any of us could compose music (or play guitar, bass, drums, or zither), we'd have to really found this band. It's a ridiculously fun imaginative project.
