Metallica Kills Everything it Touches

Metallica

I found this article about Metallica’s inclusion in Bonnarroo, and had a good hearty laugh.

It’s about time to see these guys retire and go away. I’d still like to see Kirk Hammett make more music elsewhere, but I have no interest in the others. Metallica has been this crusty fungus that refuses to disappear.

Face Eater

What a treat for my listeners today (all three of them) - a second song. This one has nothing to do with Mr. Bass’s Planetoid, mainly because my friend Jimmy borrowed the book. So I wrote my own words - well, not my own words, but words that everybody else who speaks English uses, arranged in a particular way - and some tunes to accompany it. Enjoy!

Concerned!

They’re reading aloud from the book! They can’t believe what it says!

Mr. Fudgie Fudge

I see this commercial every morning. It’s a kind of fudge made locally, and apparently it’s really good. But the mascot terrifies me.

Midnight Podcast Review

Midnight Podcast

One of the podcasts that I listen to and enjoy a lot is the Midnight Podcast. For this week’s episode (#70), I submitted an audio review of a zombie novel. So head on over there and take a listen. And tell Root Rot I said hello.

“Mr. Theo said to look in R.J., and I’m going to look . . .”

Saucem!

The boys try their darndest to crack the code. How would they understand the strange language of Mr. Bass??

“There’s only one R.J.”

Heroin-Eye David and Chuck find themselves perplexed by the code that conceals the words of Mr. Theo. Mr. Bass is unavailable for consultation, and it appears that the lads are screwed.

“How about sending a thanks, Dave?”

Hamburger GirlThis time around: can the boys decipher the message that Mr. Theo sent? Will they send the thanks that Mr. Theo deserves?

This is a song that will make you regret the day you were born.

Early in the Morning

December 10th, 2007

manAround 7:30am today, I decided that I should try to lay down the first of the vocal tracks for the new podcast. I went into the music room upstairs, plugged in the Sennheiser and started belting out the next passage from Mr. Bass.

Then I realized that it was barely 7:30am, and it was quite possible that many of my neighbors were still sleeping. I was being loud, yelling and screaming, and the sound was bouncing off the walls nicely.

So how early is too early for making loud sounds in a nice little neighborhood?

Weird People

I’m trying to keep on a nice, regular podcasting schedule again. I’ve been good for 2 weeks now, so I already began planning/writing/recording for next week. And things are going right fine . . . tonight I recorded 3 guitar tracks with the good ol’ Kramer — whose bridge I just fixed thanks the the feller up at Guitar World in downtown Erie — and a bass track with the 5-string. Tomorrow come vocals and percussion.

Go here, have fun.

HarlIt’s a new podcast for a new domain. The podcast and blog really needed its own home, and I decided to make the switch at the end of the week before putting out the new song.

Of course, getting iTunes to update nicely is not going so well. I basically had to re-submit the podcast to iTunes, so it may be a few days before that works. I’ll re-post the link as soon as I see that everything’s good to go.

So here it is: “Short Long Long Short Long Wait”.
