Possible Oscar

Rock Is FTW!

What is ROCK?

Is it a feel­ing, or is it an atti­tude? Could it phys­i­cally be in the blood that pumps through our impris­oned, slaves to the grind­stone, five days a week bod­ies? For some, rock is an accepted form of pop­u­lar music. For oth­ers, rock is a spiky wrist­band on a hairy fist punch­ing an explod­ing oil tanker.

We all strug­gle with creation’s infi­nite ques­tion: “Why work when you can rock?” In the next two min­utes and fifty two sec­onds, we will try to answer that ques­tion. What is rock?

For Pos­si­ble Oscar, Rock is FTW.

Kill The Enemies

We wel­come Jeff on drums and Nathan on bass to the band with our first new song in nearly a year, a par­ody of “Know Your Enemy” by Green Day about the arcade game Gaunt­let. Why Gaunt­let? Because it’s the orig­i­nal quarter-muncher, that’s why. This game robbed us of hours and hours — not to men­tion all of our paper route money — at the local arcades and bowl­ing alleys back in the 1980s. More quar­ters, please!

USF’nA (Geographically Correct Version) (featuring Possible Oscar)   •  By Baldbox

From Bald­box:
Bald­box, the one-weekend won­der that wouldn’t die, proudly presents the one song on The Dumb Album that took half of that wonder-weekend to write.

After hear­ing this song, you may ask, “Bald­box, why do you hate Amer­ica?” We don’t! We love Amer­ica! We just hate every state in the Union.

So we wanted a surf rock shoutout style par­ody that insults all 50 states. But ShoE­boX did not have a surf rock band in his base­ment [we looked], and we for­got Indi­ana [the "for­get­table state" as their license plate boasts]. We used an old Yamaha key­board with auto­matic beats to which the term “rock” had been quaintly applied, and so the ver­sion on the CD kinda blows [I know, shocker].

This ver­sion is much bet­ter. It fea­tures hyper­tal­ent chameleon­core band Pos­si­ble Oscar, who just decided one day, out of the blue, on a whim, to be the surf rock band we always wanted but could never find. Even behind the water heater.

Wolverine (acoustic)

From our forth­com­ing Songs From The Ham­mock EP comes an acoustic rearrange­ment of a song ded­i­cated to one of comicdom’s most pop­u­lar char­ac­ters. But wait! You already have that song on our last album, don’t you? Good thing we wedged in a short par­ody of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” about the joys of comic books. Never say Pos­si­ble Oscar isn’t about value.

Dead Again

This song is a cover of the Tom Smith song and was recorded for the Tom Smith Fund Raiser album Mr. Smith Goes To The Hos­pi­tal avail­able at PartiallyClips.com/TomSmith. A dona­tion in any amount gets you a down­load­able copy of the album and all the pro­ceeds go directly to Tom Smith.
