 Disposable Pop Songs
 

Artist: Yashas Shetty

After carefully studying the works of Alex Chilton, Chris Bell, Stephin Merrit and others (in case the business of writing pop songs is outsourced). The Artist has carefully and finely handcrafted this song. The wooden frameencloses a chip, on turning a knob it dispenses an original pop song. Enclosed Along with the song are (in no particular order): bills (paid and unpaid), flowers from sidewalks, post-its, sketches, blue prints for big plans...etc. These may or may not have anything to do with the song being played. After about four plays the song degenerates into noise, thus rendering the whole (song)contraption useless.

You can then use this, either as :

A) (song)Device for churning out Stockhausen like symphonies
or
B) Dispose the (song)device, thus symbolically rejecting materialism and therefore turning into some kind of Neo-Buddhist.

The (song)device, thus functions as some kind of swiss army knife of cool, the one stone that kills many birds...etc.

wholesome and educational entertainment for the whole family-the perfect gift for Christmas.

Bid with utter confidence.
