  • Little Laptop Letter - Limited Edition CD
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Home-burned and hand-made from on the road (I currently live in a Honda Fit while moving across the country lol). This one is a bit of an arts n' crafts explosion. It's a letter on the outside and a computer on the inside. They are made out of recycled DVD cases, paper bags, and a million stickers and other little knick knacks.

    Each CD turns out a little different, and it's not going to look exactly like this photo, but I promise it will be cool.

about

“The Family” is narrated by a desperate young mafia-aspirant who wants to be a big shot, but can’t get people to take him seriously. Accompanied by a 60's-esque choir of cronies, he confesses his dream of taking out The Big Boss. That is, if he can manage to avoid shooting himself in the foot again. By the way, that snare is a champagne bottle popping.

lyrics

I got the worst intentions
But I sleep just fine at night
N-n-n-knowing everybody thinks I'm fuckin around

They say you're so cute, look at you
Now you got your name in the paper, boy
I didn't want to be the bakery boy
I wanna be the big boss someday soon so I'm coming for you

Tony I'm comin' for you
(He's comin' for you)
Don't wanna be a soldier, I wanna be the big boss

I got a reputation
I got a loaded gun
And I aint gonna shoot my own foot this time
Some people say I got a way (Away)
Of always getting in the way (Hey!)
But that's how always know what's going on
And who's side are they on, anyway?

And they say you're so cute, look at you
Tryna get your face on the TV screen
Well jokes on them cause that's exactly where it is
And I'm comin' for you

Tony I'm comin' for you
(He's comin' for you)
Don't wanna be a sucker, I wanna be a big shot

I just wanna be
Part of your family
I just wanna be
(He just wants to be)
Part of that fantasy
(Part of your family)
Please let me be
(He just wants to be)
Part of your family
(Part of The Family)
I just wanna be
(He just wants to be)
Loved by somebody

But you'll never hear a thing like that from a boy like me in a town like this so
Yeah, I'm coming for you

Tony I'm comin' for you
(He's comin' for you)
Was born to be a killer
I wanna be a big shot someday soon, so I'm coming for you
I'm coming for you
(He's comin' for you)
Don't wanna be a sucker
I wanna be somebody

Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue. McTigue’s writing style has been described as “tongue firmly planted in cheek” (Surviving the Golden Age, 2022), an “off-kilter and wonderfully weird world” (CLOUT, 2022), and “I don’t get it” (multiple sources). Despite her safety net of colorful characters, jokes, and metaphors, the real her always manages to slip in somewhere. ... more
