Album in a month: further demos
Two more demos, actually recorded the other night at the same time as the previous four but I hadn’t had a chance to apply compression, mix down, encode, tag, and upload as of yesterday morning.
The first, When You Get a Girl, give you a reasonable idea of what I intend to do with the song. I’ll probably get really involved instrumentally with the album cut, but that basic, driving, unwavering form is going to stick around. The song operates as a sort of manifest of pre-adolescent playground-era received wisdom on the subject of girls—simplifications, half-truths and misconceptions handed down to clueless 10-year-olds by clueless 12-year-olds.
The second one, I Spend All My Free Time on the Internet, is much more an idea-reference track. I intend to make this an ass-thumping, grin-forcing exercise in sure pop energy, and so the current demo is, well, lame. It is to my vision what a science room skeleton is to Christopher Walken—similar in gross morphology, but not nearly as compelling or attractive. Ah well. Still have 19 days to go. Plenty of time!

That song, as far as I listened, 2/3 of it, was about the world wide web- not the internet.
Online gaming, updating software via ubuntu repositories, downloading music the artists aren’t all fascist over (read: CC), contributing to blender model collections, using google earth, video calls with skype, etc. If all you do is use a few websites, then “’cause it’s faster” is a poor excuse for your monthly bills. I use the bandwidth I get. All 12Mb when I had it. And that’s with port 80 blocked. Try configuring apache when you have to…
I digress. I suggest revising is all. Checking mail isn’t the high point of the internet. The fact that it can and will effortlessly replace all other media(TV, radio, books, magazines, etc) is.
