Anomalous is the latest project from experimental artist, Landry Butler. It was created in response to a post that went around Facebook in early 2009 imploring artists to “get excited and make things.” The 6-song/spoken word EP features frequent collaborators; the experimental jazz duo, 3 Pups Music and Adrian Rose (puppeteer and member of The Mattoid). It is influenced as much by the DIY ethic of Jandek as by the chance operations of John Cage and the nonlinear dreamscapes of David Lynch.

Story behind the song
This song was first performed by The Japanese Beatles at the 2003 Starvy awards which were held at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville, TN. The version posted here was recorded live with 3 Pups Music and differs substantially from the version performed with The Japanese Beatles in 2003. It is more organic, free-flowing and there were no dancing girls.
Lyrics
The View is Incredible From Here Id sell my soul to the Devil But that loser cant afford it Im easy but Im not cheap For anyone but you Id give my life for the masses But they aint worth the effort I love them but I gotta draw the line And when I look into your eyes I see my dreams I see my visions When I look into your soul I see my heart I see my love Ive been sleeping through my life Ive been bored into submission Its time to stand up and stretch my legs Im so tired of pretending to be someone that Im not And I just cant do it anymore Cuz when I look into your eyes I see my dreams I see my visions When I look into your soul I see my heart I see my love And yeah, if I were Bowie and you Iman Id never want to be apart At least in theory Id want you all the time If I were Tarzan and you were Jane Wed swing like Larry Flynt At least in fantasy In the privacy of home This is the time when We consider who were not Make peace with who we are And foment our plans for world domination Nine years and counting At least in our dreams We would reign supreme Your lips are chapped and so are mine But that doesnt matter Nothing else matters now Save our dreams Save the people we wish to become From the people we used to be Everything is different Everything is changed Everything is different The changing stays the same one life, one heart, one Love
