The Mystery That Is Visual Desperate Prose, OV and V2
I Have No Idea What's Up With This Song, Either
I am following back as best as I can. It only lets me do a few each day. I am sharing people's work on twitter and facebook, in addition to Blincoin shares. Maybe 10 a week. Maybe more than that. 20? Usually networkers. People who are promoting something, usually.
Visual Desperate Prose was recorded by Bill Stace in his basement recording studio, sometime in the mid 90s. I wrote it as a bastardization of poetry by another buddy, Milwaukee music legend Rob McCuen; from his collection 'Square Dancing In A Roundhouse'. It's an assemblage of his verbiage, in an orientation that suited my esthetic sensibilities.
Rob played drums in a band called Plasticland and fronted many of his own bands as a lead singer. One of which was Love Bully. A great band. One of my all time favorites. Ron Turner played guitar for them. Rob was good sport about Visual Desperate Prose. He played drums on a few songs. I covered two songs he wrote: Jennifer and Empty Handed. Both were included in a 5 song 7-inch vinyl on the Splunge label.
Ron Turner Plays Bass. Don Turner plays Sax. I play a nylon guitar, in a brashly unskilled manner. Several years later, I took a crack at adding some more parts, but they aren't mixed too well; in my opinion. That is where Version Two comes from. I'd turn the keys down in the early parts. They do feature Michele (Mickey) Strader on back-ups and Paul Setser's keyboard parts. The very final bit is very nice. It comes together well for the end.
I have no ide what N1M.com Genre it might fit. I have it down as Abstract and Other. I also uploaded another Abstract song to my N1M.com playlist called: Right? Bill Stace played the drums for it. Ron and Don on Bass and Sax. I'm responsible for the rest. Peace Out, Number One Musicians!
