Attach it to your TV with the included Velcro strip. You can still carry it around...
...Really Love You Anymore ("True, I'd give my right arm/To keep you safe from harm/And, true, for you I'd move to Ecuador") and I Wish I Had an Evil Twin ("I wish I had an evil twin/Running round doing people in") could make it onto contemporary pop radio. "One day maybe I'll write the theme to a popular movie, and it'll become a hit," he says. "Or not. I haven't had all that much luck so far. I've pretty much had to get by on hard work.
