about
"Cardboard Man" is the lead single from the Cool Greenhouse's Crap Cardboard Pet EP, out now on cassette on Hidden Bay Records.
"6 minutes of monotone Delta 5 riffing, in a shotgun marriage with retro bleeps and bloops, frontman Tom Greenhouse assembles an array of caustic cut up one liners that take cheap shots at all the morally bankrupt, devious, 'Cardboard' men (questioning too, whether he is also cardboard – I think we're all a bit cardboard, baby)." - See You Mate Magazine
lyrics
Well I love the women
Y'know they're so good at cooking
And I love the coloureds
They're just so damn good-looking
I even love the gays,
Y'know one does my haircutting
And when I see a pig's head
Y'know I think of...nothing
Cause I'm a cardboard man
Yes I'm a cardboard man
Well my thoughts are all cardboard
I'm just like my old man
And I'm down with the kids
Cause my facts are alternative
And I won strictly come dancing
Oh without even trying
And I've got a nasty coke habit
Good thing you know nothing about it
I've got medium-sized hands
There's no two ways about it
I'm a cardboard man
I'm a cardboard cut-out
Yes I'm a cardboard man
Oh I'm made of wet cardboard (white cardboard)
My favourite metal is gold
My favourite liquid is water
My favourite gas is hot air
And I love Harry Potter
Y'know I'm a West Ham supporter
Or was it Aston Villa?
Well you can see right through me
I'm like a glass of water
Cause I'm a cardboard man
Yes I'm a cardboard man
And I'm a cardboard cut-out
Oh of a cardboard cut-out
Of a cardboard man
Take a photo of me
Down your local boozer
I'm just an ordinary geezer
But with a Smeg fridge-freezer
And I care about everyone
As much as cardboard can
I didn't ask to be comfortable
Well pity the white man
Y'know I'm a laid back guy
I never ask for trouble
but if you look at me funny
I'm gonna drop a bomb on your hospital
And I did not have sexual relations with that woman
Or with that pig
Now throw tomatoes
At the cardboard man
Throw all your tomatoes
As hard as you can
And if you've got a lettice
Well you can throw that too
Oh throw all your vegetables
At this cardboard fool

I don't hear a lot of this kind of music, gives me ,loose Sonic Youth vibes. Everything about it is cool, like too cool for school cool. I want to skip class and spray paint an alley with these people. Kyle Zarnoch

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
