"Today Adam Gets His Hair Cut" is the first single off of Shorthand Phonetics' 4th album "Errors in Calculating Odds, Errors in Calculating Value".

 

The A-Side, "Today Adam Gets His Hair Cut," is a 2-and-a-half minute shot of intravenous power pop inspired by an Indonesian short film by I Wayan Andrew Handisurya titled "Hari Ini Adam Potong Rambut," which incidently literally translates into "Today Adam Gets His Hair Cut". The song is written from the perspective of Hanabishi Hideaki, a fictional character in the universe all Shorthand Phonetics' songs are set in.

 

The B-Side, "Our Batch Loves You, Hashimoto Arimi-sempai!!!," is an acoustic tribute to a vocal group impressario in the author's university. In universe, Arimi-sempai is Hanabishi Hideaki's senior and holds consecutive victories in the annual Eiroku University Vocal Group Competition.

Well, I'd have to say that this is a fun couple of songs, a little rusty - almost deteriorating - production... but hey who cares, it would be hypocritical of me if to say I am not tapping my fingers to the beat... To sum it all up I would say it's, well, pop... As simple as that... Fun finger tapping pop songs... But I give great credit for the story telling bit... Not your average topic for a lyric, but it works... A lot... Cheers bros...
