Click the Play button to tune in to an infinitely (or at least indefinitely) regenerating stream . . . The Infinite Glitch cycles randomly through every musical/audio chunk in our database, including the original Devil Glitch recordings, The Major Glitch online extended version, and the ever-growing pile of new submissions.
Read on for intimate details on the history of this socio-pholosophical endeavor and how you can contribute to what started off as a simple 6-minute pop song and has grown to a 5:42:49 crowd-sourced new age gospel, also known as the "gag that defied its sire".
Enjoy the project in its original CD length, listen chunk by chunk, stream it as an infinite loop, or access the song's wisdom from The Glitch Oracle. But most importantly, PLEASE check out the "Contribute" page for guidelines and tools so YOU can become a part of "The Infinite Glitch" project.

In 1995, I wrote and recorded a song called The Devil Glitch, which clocked in at 5:03. One day, I'm trading off playing demos with muso pal Nick Berry from Dots Will Echo, and he plays one and I play one and he plays one and then I play him "The Devil Glitch", apologizing sheepishly 'cause the vamp at the end is 12 choruses long and I don't remember if he said it or if I said it or if the caffeine said it but suddenly we're both giggling 'cause the problem with the song isn't that it's too long it's that it's too short! and wow!...wouldn't it be cool to fill up a whole CD with choruses??
So that's what I did. Three months later I'd written over 550 of them (usually in the early, early morning before the cares of the day shut off the joy valve). I then recorded the whole thing at one sitting with an acoustic guitar (the chords are A Bm D6) to an 114 BPM click track in 20-minute chunks at Harold Dessau Studios in Lower Manhattan, with Scott Anthony engineering (and soon to be drafted as the project's long-time, long-suffering Sys Op). The next step was to pass out 2-3 minute chunks on Alesis ADAT cassettes to people I've worked with and asked them to add their own background accompaniment on synths, spoons, tuned vacuum cleaners...whatever. This was in April of '95, thinking I'd have everything back by May and the whole thing assembled by Memorial Day.Wrong. It took a year to get everything organized, but that's okay 'cause the software to actually glue the thing together wasn't available in '95, and Freedy Johnston took forever to hand in his piece (worth it) and Liam Sternberg (Mr. "Walk Like An Egyptian") from Akron and now France had to do his too and Kramer (who had been the Waitresses original sound man!) had to be goosed to get his bit in (also worth it) and don't get me started about my Mom (never try to produce your Mom).
Scott stitched the whole thing together using SAW+ (we had become a Beta project for the software!), having to regrettably edit the long version down to allow for the original 5:03 song, since at the time CDs could only hold 74 minutes of audio.
Then, thanks to the internet - there was NO time limit, so I began the process of expanding the song, making an online version that hopefully would go on for hours and hours. And it did: The Major Glitch.
The Major Glitch is a sonic "sculpture"
- a single, seamless recording that includes all the submissions to date, plus the original Intro and Ending sections from the original CD recording.Full Length: 5:42:49
And now we have The Infinite Glitch which is where you, Dear Reader, come in.
Please go to the "Contribute" page to find out how YOU can contribute to the project.
I want this song to contain the sum total of human wisdom (seriously!) and we have. . .a bit of a way to go. - Contribute
-
We want everybody to be able to contribute. Whether or not you:
- have access to a recording studio
- can play an instrument
- can sing
- speak english
- can read this
Under the philosophy that anything is entertaining and insightful provided it’s sincere (or at least obviously fun), we’ve got a few options by which you can contribute.
Guidelines for Submissions:
- It can be as long or as short as you want.
- The part that I'd like for you to expand upon is the ending vamp where every lyric line begins "Sometimes you can fix something by...".
Please remember that a "song" is legally defined in America as having "a melody and lyrics", so please include some variation on the "Sometimes you can fix something by..." lyric line. Thus, instrumental-only submissions will probably not be used. I may add some lyrics to your chunk, but it will be a low, low priority. - If you're able to fit your lyric text into the couplet format: "Sometimes you can bla bla bla... Another line of bla bla... blank line... Sometimes, etc", then the Glitch Oracle will be happy.
- Re: censorship. I reserve the right to edit anything that is submitted. That said, I am not a prude, so rough language is not a turn-off...but neither do I wanna get busted for distributing internet obscenity, so use your head about what you say, okay?
- Legal stuff: You own your contribution, period - but by submitting it, you are allowing me to use it in this project in perpetuity. If you want to register it with the Library of Congress or any other performance right organization in your country, that is your business. There is a chance that some other media (TV, radio, etc.) might do a news piece on this project and use some of what you've submitted. If this happens, I will do my best to get you a cue sheet so if there is any dough generated, you get it. To that end, you must include some info about yourself, personal web page URL &/or contact info with your submission or it can't be used. You also grant me the right to use this info in the project, but I will not give or sell your info to any third party, so don't get all nutzparanoid about this. Also, you warrant that your submission does not violate the rights of any third party.
For those who want to create their own track at home or in a studio
- Submitted audio should be an MP3 or .wav file.
Preferred: wav file, 44.1 khz, at least 16 bit, 24 bit even better
OK: mp3, encoded at best resolution possible, at least 192kbps, 320kbps even better - The click and acoustic track is there for your convenience, but you are not bound to use this. And please no fade-ins or fade-outs if possible...editing this thing is going to be enough of a pain. A "1-2-3-4" count-in would be helpful, too.
- You can download the 114 Beats-Per-Minute click track/acoustic guitar file HERE
- You can submit a track HERE.
We want everybody to be able to contribute. So even if you don't have the instruments and recording equipment available, here are a couple of tools to allow you to make a track and then submit it:
Currently In Hibernation
Definitely a BETA endeavor! Using the microphone in your computer, you'll be able to record yourself singing along with the single glitch instrumental track and upload it, then hear it back with the instrumental, input lyrics and story and submit the track. "Hugh Jeerayke, the engineer" will walk you through the process of recording and submitting a track.
You will need to Sign Up before you can access this part of the Infinite Glitch.
Another BETA project we came across, which it seems like has been in limbo for a while, but still works and is really really cool: UJAM offers online software that allows you to record and produce your own song. "All you need to create great-sounding music is an idea. Turn that melody in your head into a song." After you make you track on UJAM you just export it as an MP3 and submit it using our form.

The Devil Glitch
World's Longest Recorded Pop Song - 69 minutes
July 11th, 1997,
Guinness Book of World Records
declares "The Devil Glitch" to be
THE WORLD'S LONGEST POP SONG.
"Then there's ex-Waitress CHRIS BUTLER'S 69-minute (!) single, "The Devil Glitch" (Future Fossil, CD), a screwy swinger with an hour's worth of Butler lyrically vamping on the end chorus as friends, old band mates, and relatives (including Freedy Johnston, Kramer, and Butler's mom) mess with the music. Weird, long-winded, wonderful."
David Fricke, Rolling Stone Magazine, June 26, 1997, p.56

The Story Behind the One-Minute Version of "The Devil Glitch"
Morgan Fisher (ex-Mott The Hoople keyboardist) requested a one-minute version of "The Devil Glitch" for inclusion in his second "Miniatures" CD. The 60 or so compositions on this disc come from around the world and all deal in some way with a Millenium theme.
Morgan never said WHICH Millenium, however. "The Devil Glitch" includes an audio time-travel ending, which is a regression back to 1900 via the entire history of audio recording technology (digital-tape-wire-wax cylinder).
For a laugh, I sent a copy of the CD to the Guinness Book people, thinking I might have inadvertently set a record. Their response was "Maybe. Yep. Prove it." Guinness required for independent verification, and although I knew it to be a valid claim, getting others to confirm it became a "computer era" question, where information becomes available only if the question is phrased correctly.
For example, neither the Library of Congress (where American copyrights are registered), BMI and ASCAP (the USA's major performance rights organizations) nor The Harry Fox Agency (collector of mechanical rights) can search their databases for length...only by title and author. Luckily, David Sanjek of the BMI Archives was able to confirm my claim stating that "I know of no other commercial piece of music that received sufficient public distribution that comes close to "The Devil Glitch" in length and scope." William Shurck, the Sound Recordings Archivist at Bowling Green State University's Music Library and Sound Archive, also saw no reason to dispute my claim, based on his "...40-plus years of working with popular music."). Homer's "Illiad" and "Odyssey" were actually "sung". . .but no one is around who remembers how it goes. "Alice's Restaurant"? A mere 19-minutes, and it's as much talking as it is a "song", which is legally defined in America as a "lyric with a melody". I'm sure my record has long been broken, and as far as i know, Guinness has retired the category, but the original project was fun to do, and it's nice to be recognized...even for such a dubious achievement.

12 couplets contributed by Claudia Chopek and New Retro Strings featuring Ward White:
sometimes you can fix something by failing to arrive
absence makes the heart grow fonder
sometimes you can fix something by just waking away
but then you always have to wonder
sometimes you can fix something with a brutal show of force
riot gear, tear gas and batons
sometimes you can fix something with democracy
but committee thinking gives us sitcoms
sometimes you can fix something by not taking your pill
it’s a safety net: medication
sometimes you can fix something by taking all the pills
nothing quite so dull as desperation
sometimes you can fix something by just being born
another screaming mouth. awh who’ll feed them?
sometimes you can fix something by passing away
the stupid with no blind to lead them
sometimes you can fix something by yanking the tooth
well he’s a dentist, not a doctor
sometimes you can fix something by letting it decay
keep it hid behind a locked door
sometimes you can fix something by burning it to the ground
well, a phoenix rose up from the ashes
sometimes you can fix something by losing what you found
that bird could be a monster if it hatches

sometimes you can fix somethings by just adding it up
it's numerology
sometimes you can fix somethings by just looking through walls
by viewing it remotely
sometimes you can fix somethings by just making it rain
you can influence the weather
sometimes you can fix somethings by just looking away
shadows in your sidelong vision

Sometimes ya can fix something by
Just making a list
Sometimes ya can fix something by
Looking at the list
Sometimes ya can fix something by
Just ignoring it
Sometimes ya can fix something by singing everything that's on it
Preceded by the words, "sometimes you can fix something by".
Sometimes you can fix somethings by accepting that it's broken
'Supposed to have your kids making each other scream
Sometimes ya can fix somethings by
Just going to school
Sometimes ya can fix somethings by
Not having a reason why
Sometimes ya can fix somethings by
Just letting them scream
Sometimes ya can fix somethings by
Just being a bug
Sometimes ya can fix somethings by... by... by
Singin' bye 'n' bye

sometimes you can fix something by just walking away

sometimes you can fix something by just tiring it

sometimes you can fix something by just going around

sometimes you can fix something by just closing your eyes
just meditation
sometimes you can fix something by just going to town

sometimes you can fix something by just filling a void

Sometimes you can fix something by packing it away
And take that trunk down to the station
Sometimes you can fix something by waging a big war
We need a little conflagration
Sometimes you can fix something by looking through that glass
I fell in love with that distortion
Sometimes you can fix something by switching off the news
Roll with a little self-absorption
Sometimes you can fix something by slowing it down
Quaaludes, 1977
Sometimes you can fix something by sitting in a pew
But that is someone else’s heaven
Sometimes you can fix something by editing yourself
Go back on all your punctuation
Sometimes you can fix something by drowning it in wine
You know I go for that libation
Sometimes you can fix something by doing it in the road
Did Paul and Linda really go there?
Sometimes you can fix something by staying in your bed
I’d let you down if I had the hair
Sometimes you can fix something by taking a blue pill
Who wants a seven-hour erection?
Sometimes you can fix something by voting from your grave
Let’s hope they’re throwing that election

No need for conversation
Sometimes you can fix something by dreaming with a friend
Cosmic creative contemplation
Sometimes you can fix something by getting it wet
Changing the physical sensation
Sometimes you can fix something by building it up
With a bit of glue and duct tape
You can fix something...
Sometimes you can fix something by admitting it's a joke
Even if it's not so very funny
Sometimes you can fix something by admitting that it's broke
And you're the one who broke it
Sometimes you can fix something by admitting you're unaware
And you're swimming in an ocean
Sometimes you can fix something by admitting that you care
It might be your greatest notion
You can fix something...
Sometimes you can fix something by just being a friend
Sitting back and listening
Sometimes you can fix something by making it end
Start a new beginning...
Sometimes you can fix something by
You can fix something...
Sometimes you can fix something by
You can break something
Sometimes you can fix something by
You can make something

You can fix something...

magnetic ships will carry us

just floating there among the

outlaws, outcasts and gypsy
orphans, left alone,
like atomic waste,
to break down
in a million years.
back to The Dark Ages for
you stupid magicians:
professors of absolute
certainty and greed.
crumbling dead flowers:
power turned off forever!
our gentle intellect will save us
on Level 5.
where scientists work hand in hand
perfecting modern man
magnetic ships will ferry us
