Phone Plan
My ass is wifi-ready but you need a phone plan: connectivity hardware without a data contract, love as signal you can't actually use.

On $WAMI$ the Spotify title shortens to Phone Plan; the Bandcamp tracklist name is My Ass Is Wifi Ready (But You Need a Phone Plan): track two on the twenty-song collage, right after Prometheus & Groove.
The joke is infrastructure vs. access. Wifi-ready hardware means nothing if nobody bought the plan, same energy as having a crush who likes your posts but never texts back, or being online without the bandwidth to actually arrive somewhere. It is early Scoobert internet-brain comedy: bodily, stupid, and accidentally diagnostic of how relationships work when the connection is always on but the contract is missing.
Later catalog picks up the thread in different registers — Debby (phone-as-throne worship), time with u (I think my phone is dead but I might leave it that way), All My Friends Live on the Internet (friends as packets). Phone Plan is the $WAMI$ version: rude title, real loneliness underneath.
