JoCo Collaborates for Once
Our good friends Paul and Storm, who also do a song a week for an actual radio show on the actual radio, were kind enough to invite me to participate in their song for this week. Actually, just Paul, because Storm is on his honeymoon. Storm totally hates me.
Anyways. Paul came by yesterday with some lyrics and we worked out some chords and I recorded a little guitar business. He then went home and dressed it up with some singing and percussive shaking. The result can be heard here (it’s the metaphor love song).
A note to those of you who hear it and say, “Hey, that B section sounds just like the B section in Flickr! WTF!” Well, yes, that’s because I only have a couple of ideas for a B section and that’s one of them. When it’s time for a B section, old Coulton likes to pull out the old bVII-IV-iv-I trick – he doesn’t even need to dust it off, because it was just used a couple of songs ago. To be clear, Paul and Storm didn’t steal from me, I stole from me. I’ll be suing me, and will probably settle out of court to avoid the legal costs.
Thank You Seattle
What a great show. Thanks to Xander for the hookup, Jewelbox for the venue, Jeff for the sound, and Jennifer and Matt for the merch table help. I shall return…
And Another Thing
If anyone would like to man (or woman) the merch table for me tonight at the show, I would be grateful enough to give you something free, maybe a shirt or a CD or a kind word. I’m in and out of range today, but if you’re interested, email me by clicking that Contact link up there…
VTAW – The Big Boom
I love the growing self-referential nature of Len’s work on VTAW – and of course the oddly accurate rendition of the night cap that I sleep in, fitfully. If you can read the text, click the image and you’ll find your way to a larger size.
