Listen, laugh, be critical!
 
OK here's your opportunity to listen to a song I did one night after drinking some Hudy Delight (Cincinnati beer) Listen, laugh and be critical! Tell me what you think! Drag it through the mud! Beat it like a rented mule! Here's your chance! No fancy production here. Just me, a mic and my guitar which may or may not have been in tune at the time. It doesn't really matter though because my voice is definitely out of tune!

Does your Timbuk2 Yoga bag have the iPod thingee?

pitboss 05-05-04 10:23 PM

Nice guitar riff. Sounds catchy, Sugar-esque if you will. Home project?

So what's it to you if it does? The Ipod thingee is secondary to the purpose of the bag, which is spiritual bliss coupled with the the little fancy-doodles on the front of the pouch.

Definitely a home project. Sugary? Maybe I should throw down some whiskey next time I write something as it makes me a bit more beligerent. But then I may fall asleep too early and forget what I was doing.

Nah...I have a hard time listening to most new punk/hardcore nowadays. I find that rolling out oldies (gasp...) like "New Day Rising" from Husker Du or "Haunted Town" from the Effigies gets the old blood moving more than anything out there. You do your thing MKRG...whiskey or without.
One more question:
On TB2's (man, I yuppied up that name - gu-faw!) site, it says "An external water bottle pocket stores your hydration supplement." Can you fit your bottle Ripple in there for your trips to the recording studio?

MKRG 05-05-04 11:01 PM

I don't even know what ripple is.

pitboss 05-05-04 11:04 PM

cheap booze.

randya 05-05-04 11:05 PM

It sounds more folk-pop than garage-punk to me...for garage punk y'all need to play faster through big amps w/ lots o' distortion and a kickin' rhythm section...what's 'a matter, couldn't ya find anyone to play for beer 'n' cheetos?? ;)

Got any songs about bicycles that you want to share?? :)

skitbraviking 05-06-04 05:26 AM

You keep a nice rhythm for being drunk. Now the trick would be to keep a decent spin while drunk and being dehydrated and getting drunker. Have non-drunk stuff up to listen to?

I actually do have one in the works about riding bikes.

When i start submitting more stuff you'll understand. I just started with that one song because it's a new site and I wanted to see how it works. I'm also not sure if I really want to put stuff on the web.

A lot of the stuff that I have was recorded when I was living in Schaumburg...so no...I'm usually wallowing in self pity and alcohol. I am working (slowly) on some stuff that is more sober, but to drink a beer or two while recording a track is not unusual.

There's a background push to make a Second Mayo book, only with contributions of other writers from here, as well as photographs. A music CD with some home grown fixie style music would put the digs on it. You down for that?

It's just an idea at this point, getting kicked around. But, you could be on the include.

My "critique": A lot of Elvis Costello meets Violent Femes style there.

You're on the "list" as it were. Dig it, there's background efforts kicking around for it.

MKRG 05-06-04 07:34 PM

If you want to use anything I put on the site you're more than welcome to William. I can't really believe anybody would want to listen to it but you never know. I'm digging that song of yours Schiek!

MKRG 06-12-04 09:48 PM

OK. I'm putting another song up. As soon as it's available for your aural pleasure I will post a link. Before anyone says anything, the word is AURAL not ORAL, look it up! :D This song was written a long time ago when I was making the drive between Schaumburg (GASP!) and Cincinnati on a regular basis. It gets its inspiration from all the "interesting people" that I met at gas stations in Indiana. It is my personal ode to Trailer Parks and Pick Up Trucks.

Many inneresting inspirations I am sure. Did you make it a thrash metal song or a tears in their beers country ode?

kurremkarm 06-13-04 12:25 AM

I like it! Sort of Bob dylan violent fems elvis costello. BTW, elvis is the man.

Hey I think I can write something bicycle related for another mag. Not that it would be good or anything but sometimes i write.

MKRG 06-14-04 06:18 PM

OK the new song is up! It's the on called "Lucy Said". Sometimes I wish I had a Camaro.

I am anxiously awaiting your comments, criticisms and even ridicule if you feel the need.

MKRG 06-14-04 06:35 PM

Guitars and bikes are prettier to me when they have been well used through the years. That is not to say abused.

cavit8 06-14-04 06:57 PM

Sounds kinda fishy to me.... except I don't like fish, and I sort liked this song.

I can definitely hear the influence of the cheetos. Are your guit strings nuclear orange?

pitboss 06-14-04 09:21 PM

just finished listening to "Lucy Said" and I ended up tearing my parachute pants on the corner of my linoleum. Dammit...these pants once belonged to the famous Boogaloo Shrimp. You owe me $4.61.
But never before have I kicked the robot so well. I popped and locked my way through the git solo 1983 NY style.
