More random shit from my brain to your earlobes

Thanks Monkey_Man ! With this progress it’ll only be a few years before I have an a-side too

Thanks BayouTexan ! Oh noes! I doubt you want a cut of thee debt involved in making this track title but I’ll be sure to mention you in thee 12” cover notes when I do thee extended 45 minute prog remix with added finger snaps and Tibetan human thigh bone throat singing.

Thanks deangersmith ! It’s all Superior Drummer, in the Indiependent pack (I believe) there’s a drum set aptly called Aphex Twin which seems to be all the transients only and its sociopathic park bongo player crossed with sampled pencil case contents like sound stirred something perverse in me.

Thanks deadman42 ! Oh I hope there’s a few ok ideas in there, I’m just joking. But there’s still a long journey ahead no matter what.

So as you probably guessed I have a lot of love for what I absolutely know is a very acquired taste of those naive but over aspiring 80's and 90's American and Canadian garage punk bands like Cap'n Jazz, The Promise Ring, The Mister T Experience and so on. Founded on-surf punk like sounds of the Pixies, the straight edge political craziness of Fugazzi and childhood dreams of prog rock tied down by real world tiny budgets. To me the sound is drenched in dreams of California, Americana, summer youth, melancholy, insanely poppy hooks and melodies wrapped... no... more like burried and at times undiscoverable in the warm fuzzy sound of having to share a single amp for bass, guitar and vocals while competing with the drums in someones garage. Naive vocals and guitars rejecting commercial sound backed by surprisingly tight rhythm sections and sudden weird and clever progressions and riffs momentarily pulling back the curtain only for it to come crashing back down moments later leaving you alive and wanting more.

Thanks for checking it out Monkey_Man !

As waraba kindly sent me some fantastic profiles, I cracked out the old archtop guitar and did a quick jazzy-ish noodle using a nice clean profile labeled clean funk 1.

Thanks Monkey_Man , nice track. I was more thinking about Dave Brubeck and Kenny Burrell. I’m woefully undereducated about classic jazz even though I do love the genre.

Thanks waraba and thanks for the profiles, I’ll have to carry on exploring them!

A bit of 90's shoe-gaze for you tonight
