New Low For Long Hair
Blowing Your Nose
I have found more ways to follow back and I do that. I have uploaded lots of new content, including a few audio dramas, I didn't write; but I'm entirely responsible for their existence. I have some more of those; I'll eventually post at N1M.
Today, we are talking about Floundering. It was recorded in Bill Stace's basement studio called Walls Have Ears. Bill played the drums on this track. I included it, mostly because of Ron Turner's bass part; sadly, somewhat buried in the mix. Don Turner plays Sax. Don's always great on Sax. This is a weird song. I think he really does a great job with it. Most of the song is me singing over a riff of mine, I like very much; playing on a nylon string guitar.
The lyrics are typical post-modern commentary on the futility of struggle in the compromised cultural miasma of competing socio-political capital interests. Blah, blah, blah. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Although, I'm being serious. That is what those lyrics are about. I may not have added the lyrics to the song file, yet. I have done so, tho, for most of the songs at N1M. Eventually, all things will be totally cooled out.
This song was not working, so we brought the instrumentation in little by little and then the drums at the end. The problem was, Ron's bass was never the problem. Bill and Ron mixed it. I'd say, they should have left the bass in from the beginning. If you listen closely, you can hear Ron shredding away back there.
The song still sort of fails at the end. We should've had Bill play a drum roll over the whole ending part. Danny Smars chimes in to help the vocals at the end. He never fails to improve my singing. He's on several other tracks.
Editor's Note: the prices have been slashed at the Store Of Luv. I dig them crazy shirts!
That's enough for today, Number One Musicians! I follow and share! Peace to the out!
