Song: Casiotone Nation
Artist: Soul Coughing
Album: Ruby Vroom
Bassist: Sebastian Steinberg [in the room] on the upright bass
Tabbed by ME, Roz, so if you steal it, well, I hope unfortunate things happen
to you, though nothing too nasty, cos it's only some tabs

well sounds as right as my ears go, and since one of them is on the left...

A [low bit]
|-------------------------|
|----1-----2-----4-----2--|
|-------------------------|
|-/2---2/4---4/5---5/4----|

B [high bit]
|----1-----2-----4-----2--|
|-------------------------|
|-/2---2/4---4/5---5/4----|
|-------------------------|

C ['casiotone' bit]
|---------------------|
|-----7~-7~-7~-7~-7~--|
|---------------------|
|-x-2-----------------|
that F# (2) might be an A (5)
have a listen, see what you think

Fill during second '5,10,15,20...' bit
|-----18-17------17-16------|
|--16-------x-15------------|
|---------------------x-14--|
|---------------------------|
it's barely audible so you could leave it out

D [outro]
|--------------------| |---------
|-----7-6-5-4--------| |---------
|-x-4---------7-6-5--| |--x-4---
|--------------------| end on |---------

Right, well, here's the structure. I'd learn each bit separately
but you might be a better bassist so do what ya like...
[split into fours so it's easier to count without going cross eyed]

Intro to Verse to first '5,10,15,20...'
A B A B:A B A A:B B A A:B B B C:B C

Second verse to second '5,10,15...'
A B A B:A B A A:B B A A:A A A C:B C

After the second '5,10,15...' just go A B A B till the end,
stick in C a couple of times then it picks up with part D till the end...

Well I went a little crazy trying to type out the structure
so it might seem jangled, I'd give this tab 4 out of 5

----------------
Tab key:
--x-- = mute string [percussive type thing]
-7~-- = vibrato [wiggle your fretting finger]
-2/4- = slide between notes
---- = slide down
--/-- = slide up
-2^4- = hammer on
-7^5- = pull off
----------------

i could be wrong but i could swear the website once said that this, along with several other earlier songs of theirs, had absolutely no meaning whatsoever, in addition to neoness's cut-n-paste

Actually, the song is the five percent nation of ________ They fill in the blank with what ever came to their mind first.

i think the things mentioned are random, but i think the song is meant to be a stab at the corporate world... the counting i think refers to inflation in taxes and how prices and taxation will continue to go up... i could be wrong though

The "everybody's moving" part sounds like it is taken from Fugazi's "Waiting Room".
