good lord i stink
well i did until this bath.
my house is a wreck. trash is stacked up in the corners. gnats are dying painful deaths drowning in my whiskey bottles. trying not to look my neighbors in the eye.
i have some really good shit on tape now. this fourth song, though, is still a bitch. but i have a soundtrack now for midwest trashcapade that im more or less proud of.
i went through four ideas today. scrapped my House of the Rising Sun Idea. fleshed out this song that was a raggedy, apocalyptic (there’s that key word again) versions of Come Together. wrote all the lyrics, sang it to tape, thought it sucked, trashed it.
so i finally strapped on the guitar and channeled Black Flag and Jerry Lewis into one spectre and made a song with the working title of “scabies” which will be changed, but is really fast and really cool. three tracks of fast guitar, overblown and distorted. some tambourine, thats it. i’m just racking my brain trying to set some good lyrics to it, and the only thing i can thing of is in the cadence of Johnny B. Goode.
so yeah, there’s more guitar on this and less piano than i envisioned, but i guess since my piano of choice is over 100 yrs old and cant keep a tune to save its life, i will have to make do-do with what i have.
i will burn it soon.
