Hillow Hammet - "Slip Away"
Flaming Lips / Lightning Bolt - "NASA's Final Acid Bath"

We're adding a day to the year! And this isn't some pansy leap-year nonsense, some rotation-of-the-earth, only-when-we-feel-like-it bullshit. This is a FULL-LENGTH, perennial, guaranteed extra day. It's called THE NEBUTILLION. The Nebutillion can't even technically be called a "day", but it's the closest word we have. The Nebutillion is more similar to injury time in a soccer match. It's collected run-off, it's accumulated potential energy, left over by the other days of the year, it can last a standard "day" or it can last something similar to a week, depending. The Nebutillion will be a time when you can do whatever you choose, it's a personal experience. It's a gift from the universe and a tribute to humankind's ability to exploit its energies. Pray that The Nebutillion doesn't get commercialized, a day to sell Vanilla Bud Light Lime and Dodge Mercury Lifts. The Nebutillion will experience almost every kind of weather, it will be almost impossible to travel during it, since the weather will change like channels on a television. People will feel great euphoria and great strangeness, it will be a challenge to maintain focus and composure during The Nebutillion. The name comes from a mixture of the roots of "universe" and "apology" which, although we've yet to experience one, sounds both like a descriptor and a command. The universe may be saying "I'm sorry" but it's possible that it also requires to hear from us under penalty of harsh punishment, "I'm sorry too."
