Artist description Dick is all grown up now. He has a job, security and a lovely girlfriend. He just can't stand one more God damned day. TASM Lab's third release, "Penisgeek Chrestomathy: The Essential Cubicle Nosepicker", is a 60 minute conceptual music program tracking the story of Dick. Dick is a young professional in his early thirties who realizes he can not stomach another day of his adult life with his good job and great girlfriend. Penisgeek questions the value of modern employment, personal gain, and the discovery that one must love oneself before loving his environment. Dick, not strong enough to find this, abandon's his adult life and runs to the sea.
