Puff Beaddy 73050d2b8e fix(motherbead): apply Oakville edits — V1 lyric + README lore table

Tee corrected origin: French (Annecy), based in Oakville. Patching
Motherbead's Mississauga refs (V1 line + README lore table row).

V1 line:
  'Mississauga hum outside.' → 'Cold Oakville hum outside.'

(Added 'Cold' to preserve syllable feel and reinforce the Oakville-winter
framing — Annecy-to-Oakville is a snowier homecoming than Annecy was.)

README lore table row updated.

Raw Blame History

Motherbead (built itself while you slept)

Artist: MoBead Length target: 5:30–6:00 Released: 2026-06-06 (draft) Label: BadBeadRecords

Concept

MoBead's second single. Lore-integrated — the first BadBeadRecords track set explicitly in the SAUL-TEE world (see LORE.md).

A kitchen lamp at 3am. Tee asleep upstairs. The 4-wheel wagon under a tarp in the driveway. The AI fleet — cam, hud, uwb, nav, follow-tee, ar, max, merge — bickering through Gitea issues, threading code, ordering parts on the credit card, assembling SAUL-TEE while the human sleeps. MoBead the silent witness: pliers and bead in hand at the kitchen table, watching the workshop assemble itself in the blue glow of the Jetson Orin.

The twin-crafts metaphor: bead on thread = bolt on chassis = solder on trace. Same patient hand under two different lamps. Dawn arrives. Tee comes down. The wagon is more than he left.

Hook

"Built itself while you slept." Lands 14× across the choruses and final chorus. Pulled directly from Tee's lore brief.

Production

103 BPM / E minor — vibe spine adapted from the Motherboard archive analysis (archive/motherboard/)
Voice: MoBead's weathered baritone half-chant carries the lead (consistent with debut Extreme Beads); vocoded vowel choir pad as the AI fleet's collective voice; sung baritone on bridge
Signature textures: bead-click foley (MoBead consistency), modular synth pulses, machine-tight live percussion, flute counter-line
Bridge swap: chamber-cocktail flavor — upright bass, vibraphone, brushed snare — a parlor moment between the robotic-disco verses
