“World Leader Pretend” (1988)
“I sit at my table and wage war on myself
It seems like it’s all, it’s all for nothing
I know the barricades, and
I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons, I used them well
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down
I’ve a rich understanding of my finest defenses
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I’ve practiced them well. I fitted them myself
It’s amazing what devices you can sympathize, empathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down
Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me, let my machine talk to me
This is my world
And I am world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It’s high time I’ve razed the walls
That I’ve constructed
You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony
You fill in the mortar. I raised the wall
And I’m the only one
I will be the one to knock it down”

alGARhythm: One of Central Florida’s best kept secrets. Tucked away in his secret laboratory somewhere in the wetlands of Volusia county, this digital shamen will bring the ruckus as he performs his special brand of electronic rock and roll for your eyes and ears. Multiple drum machines, circuit bent toys, and an array of samplers are his weapons. Your brain stem, his target.
Pan/Dos: The end of tv as we know it. Pan/Dos combines the analogue hardware of yore into a chaotic, yet melodic soup of sight and sound, using VHS and TV Tubes as the ingredients. Must be seen to be believed.
Dr.XnLb: This is what happens when a certified code ninja slices his way into the music scene. By touching his mac in its naughty places, he can tease beats into a digital tapestry of circular logic and musical run on sentences with more segues than Dean Kamen. Also, pancakes.
DJ [HexWarrior]: This host of WPRK’s Talk Nerdy To Me and founder of the Nerdapalooza music festival will start the night off right with his own mix of Nerdcore, Chiptunes, Wizard Rock, and other genres so geeky, they make Woz himself blush.
