Turcotte opened his website in 2002 with the intention of producing "open source music". His self-produced single, Brad Sucks One, included the audio source files used to create the finished files, and later he posted these source files to his website along with the MP3s.
Turcotte waives all rights to his songs, essentially making them public domain. This total freedom allows him to promote his music through sites such as Magnatune and ccMixter, as well as Myspace and Podsafe. Since he was one of the first to make this decision, he also received free publicity through blogs and interviews in free culture magazines. His first full CD, I Don't Know What I'm Doing, was released both through Magnatune and a limited "professional" printing from his own website.
Turcotte also runs the website stripcreator.com , which allows participants to create their own talking-head webcomics. He is also the creator of in4mador. He is also listed on Sellaband, a website where artists co-ordinate raising money to record an album.

Come Back
Brad Sucks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it came in my old apartment
Things were great but I failed regardless
I can't explain it
There's nobody around to wonder what all I'm doing
Nobody around to extend the allusion
Nobody around that's gonna be a few changes
I wish you'd say that your heart is broken
It's been so long since we last spoken
I couldn't shake the sense of devotion
I couldn't shake it
There's nobody around to wonder what all I'm doing
Nobody around to extend the allusion
Nobody around that's gonna be a few changes
'Cause I'm honestly fine just waiting
'Cause I want your trust to be loving and admired
Living without your drugs makes me feel so fucking tired
We yes and no we can't always be desire
But living without your love makes me want to start a fire
If I make a come back
I will make you paint til you go black
And you'll never ever say that I was so bad
You couldn't see my face on the program
And I'll be giving you an interview
By the way I do what you want to do
If I make a come back
I will make you paint til you go black
And you'll never ever say that I was so bad
You couldn't see my face on the program
And I'll be giving you an interview
By the way I do what you want to do
If I make a come back
I will make you paint til you go black
And you'll never ever say that I was so bad
You couldn't see my face on the program
And I'll be giving you an interview
The lyrics of Brad Sucks's song "Come Back" reflect feelings of exhaustion, regret, and longing. The opening lines "I was drained by the open market, And it came in my old apartment" suggest the singer's fatigue from the competitive and exhausting nature of the music industry. Despite some initial success, the singer expresses failure and an inability to explain it. There is a sense of solitude and detachment throughout the song, with lines such as "There's nobody around to wonder what all I'm doing" and "Nobody around that's gonna be a few changes." In these lines, the singer seems to be coming to terms with their present state of isolation and realizing that it may be necessary to move forward.
The chorus of the song is repetitive and emphasizes the theme of waiting. The lines "Cause I'm honestly fine just waiting" convey resignation and acceptance of the current situation. The second verse conveys the singer's desire for someone they miss to express their feelings and sense of brokenness. The lines "I wish you'd say that your heart is broken, It's been so long since we last spoken" express a longing for connection and acknowledgement.
The final lines of the song suggest a determination to come back and make a change. The repeated lines "If I make a come back, I will make you paint til you go black" indicate a desire for success and a willingness to work hard to achieve it. The emphasis on making somebody paint also suggests the desire for control or power over someone else. Overall, "Come Back" explores the complex emotions of exhaustion, longing, and determination that often accompany the pursuit of success.

Awesome song! Very reminiscent of NIN music from the slip and With Teeth, in my opinion (But I like NIN a lot, so that's just me lol).
