"On December 2, 1942 about forty people watched Enrico Fermi and his team set off the first nuclear chain reaction at Chicago Pile-1 in a racquets court under the west stands of the abandoned stadium at Stagg Field."

lyrics

tritium, iridium
elements that make a bomb
he's taking his lithium
and turning the reactor on
only a brainiac would know what to do with this
open a maniac and you can see on and on and on forever

heavy uranium
under radiated grass
feed the geranium
and walk your unprotected ass
to the gymnasium
next to the football field
dig a little hole and then
you can see on and on and on forever

little sick guinea pig
losing lunch, losing hair
in a wig, guinea pig
nothing growing under there
only a brainiac would know what to do with this
open a maniac and you can see on and on and on forever

about

Rachel Taylor Brown Portland, Oregon

Rachel was born in Portland and lives nearby with her beloved husband Jay. She makes disturbing yet ultimately sensible songs you can sometimes dance to.

She sees loads of ugly and beauty in the world. Trying to capture that sweet and sour thing in a song is what she’s mostly trying to do.

She records with audio midwife and dear friend Jeff Stuart Saltzman and his cats.

Thanks for stopping by!
