Bye Bye Cheeto!

Did the nazi Cheeto really concede? When did my phone’s autocorrect start capitalizing Cheeto?

Whatever, he’s evil and he’s gone. Fuck him right up his orange ass.

I played guitar tonight. At first it was stress relief but then it was celebration.

Tied for the Most Uploaded Song

I mixed a song today for the re-recordings volume four. This song has been recorded and uploaded to my alonetone account three times, which (I think) ties it for the most re-uploaded song ever.

It was written in 2008 (I think, it might have been 2009, but I’m pretty sure it was 2008) and it’s a little ditty about what a putz The Boy King George W Bush was. We didn’t know how good we had it when we were stuck with that schmuck for eight years.

Slide? Oh Please No

The last time I did car singing I finished what I had planned quick so I did a re-recording too. I didn’t have rhythm guitars down so I was working off an old scratch track. Tonight I put the guitars down… all of them… oh, so many tracks.

Four tracks of fat finger flubbing rhythm guitars (two takes, each with two mics for a total of four tracks)

Six tracks of lead guitar. Three takes, two mics each. One take was my usual guitar sound, one was a cleanish sound, and the third was tons of fuzz and feedback and… and… slide.

I am the worst slide player on Earth but don’t fret, I only used it for noise, and I’m probably going to play the two tracks backwards. You’re all safe. Trust me.

And December Makes 11

11 months in a row with at least 10 new songs demoed out and uploaded to two sites for safe keeping. December doesn’t have much to write home about (the first couple on the playlist aren’t awful, but that’s all) but it’s done. Also, it’s done by the 28th, just like February and every month that’s followed. I am such a nerd.

Here’s the playlist from hearthis.at which displays but only plays track one:

And here’s a link to the same playlist on alonetone which plays fine but doesn’t embed.

Up next is to do a little work on the fourth (and final?) round of The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project, and then start thinking about January.

Pre-Work Mixing

New song alert. I mixed two of the final three December songs this morning. I can’t work on the last one now though as it’s time to punch in to work and earn a living doing actual stuff.

I already miss Christmas.
