"I will never be able to make an indie pop album quite like The Graduate Student. This album is so deep, so un-mainstream, and so enlightening that I have no choice but to cede my right to make music, the rights to the names The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie, a box of cereal, and my wife to Incompetentia for so thoroughly changing my life and showing me that becoming a Swedish monk is truly my life's calling."-Ben GibbardAfter a gigantically long layoff, INCOMPETENTIA is back to deliver the goods once again. With ten brand-new parodies and some epic original songs thrown in, this is the album you'll want for now and forever. No pop artist is safe, as artists from Eric Carmen to Owl City to Metro Station to Jimmy Eat World are all placed in the crosshairs for this album. No topic is safe, either, as hot-button issues such as swine flu, kidnapping, The Jonas Brothers, and marshmallows are covered as well. There is even a short segment of political music at the end of the album! (NOTE: This is not part of the album itself.)"I wanted to make a quick buck from exploiting the news media, but Incompetentia has shown me that the news media is not the medium to exploit. But first, I hope Incompetentia will let me marry him for a green card."-Mayumi HeeneDo you really want to spend another 19 bucks on another album that can be mocked up (and mocked) just as easily? To boot, this album actually has valuable life lessons for the entire family, such as why invisible ninjas can be the best thing that has ever happened to you, or how you can expose the fragile social framework of the developed world with only a few thousand tactical nukes!"Wait, that doesn't look like a 33 -or- a 45! What in the hayell?"-Jim MorrisonAnd so, after many long hours of hard backbreaking work, Incompetentia presents to you: The Graduate Student. Enjoy it, or don't! The most important thing is that you spend money on- I mean, uh, that you comprehend the message!Technical notes: Incompetentia is in the process of constructing a full-time website after the previous webhost had some issues. For the meantime, anything album-related will occur at thegraduatestudent.tumblr.com. This includes lyrics, full-song samples, and related videography. If burning to a hard CD, please make sure that there are 0 seconds of silence between tracks for optimum listening experience. Thank you.
