lyrics

I saw the great white on the movie screen
Need a bigger boat, y'know what I mean?
Terror on the beach and haunting the waves
Better stay out or it's watery graves
Don't touch a shark, I thought
Never touch a shark

I saw a great white on the movie screen
Fish are friends, y'know what I mean?
But all it takes is a whiff of blood
For primal senses to pour and flood
Don't trust a shark, I thought
Never trust a shark

Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know

Had a late night at the computer screen
Rabbit hole wiki, y'know what I mean?
How long have I been unaware
That shark attacks are incredibly rare
Learned about the bonnethead shark
Harmless as a meadowlark
Eats crabs and grass and little more
Proof a shark can be an omnivore
Don't judge a shark, I saw
Don't misjudge a shark

Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know

Saw a state fight on the TV screen
Tear gas clouds, y'know what I mean?
The man said sharks are a dangerous fish
The man said that's just the way that it is
Heard my old self in what the man said
As they harpooned a bonnethead

And oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know

O You, Stone Changeling
by Brine Webb

I heard "Ghost Family" on the radio once and jumped to investigate which up-and-coming California-based artist was responsible. Turns out it was Brine Webb from Norman, who put out this heartbreaker. Jarvix

Carcosa
by KNOble Savage

Possibly the most criminally overlooked local album I know. If you think rap music anymore is all about high aspirations and repping, give this a listen. It's down-to-earth, and it pulls no punches. Jarvix

Para Ti
by Lincka

Honestly, Lincka is probably the most exciting thing happening in Oklahoma right now. Bilingual pop with oodles of colorful musical textures and surprises. Young ACM@UCO talent at its best. Jarvix
