forthcoming... >>"hotel NJ"<< or whatever the weird symbols will end up being

Posted by Gunshy - April 7th, 2009


not that i haven't tried to have my own leit motif, as it were... everything's taken anyway vis a vis the radioactive symbol or those weird horn things that i don't even know where that file ended up... anyway on NEXT THURSDAY I GUESS i'll be putting up "hotel NJ" now version 3.3 if you want the exactness of it, 3rd take of the guitars... it's a single 'guitar mix' even tho y'know me i love that big overdub guitar sound, but i've learned to do it subtly... this mix ends up with guitars more like waiting to die's sound but hey, you tell me... when it comes out THAT THURSDAY - NOT THIS ONE yeah you tell me, really... i'm asking... i mean, i'll probably put it in GENERAL ROCK? I MEAN RIGHT? because wow i'm listening to it and there are things happening (reverb, chorus, no real 'repeated verse melody' vocals), that grunge... well i'm not a fucking authority on grunge or what musical style is what... i don't write wikipedia, whose entry i think i haven't actually read... i don't really know. but right grunge is sloppy? i took "the brink" and "twin flames" out of grunge and put them in GENERAL ROCK BECAUSE YEAH they rock but they're not... i don't know... this all i'm sure sounds so whatever... "hotel NJ" is like this other thing, it owes more to NIN or even smashing pumpkins, who i think history has agreed are not grunge or anything like it... i don't know... you may hear something different, you tell me...
i'm just doing stream of consciousness here because well i put "helena, batshit crazy" on myspace and AT FIRST UNTIL JUST NOW censored myself... i have four fucking chords up and they've let me get away with it. why should they fucking care about the word shit. i needed to be human after ALMOST doing that. it's shit like that that happens behind the scenes here with me. that, and a lot of rock n roll. but not much else.
oh and sleep.
but not much of that, either... well usually. i overslept yesterday so now i'm all weird.
right?
get back to me between now and yeah NEXT THURSDAY not that i won't post something else in between but you know, tell me what you think about this GENERAL ROCK question as per the two songs i put in there, or ask me what the fuck i think i'm doing with a techno song like HOTEL NJ's original version already here through some ROCK AND ROLL MUSICAL LENSE even though your not hearing it yet. i know it's weird. so am i. neurotically yours... SHIT THAT'S TAKEN TOO! lol i love it FOAMY IN 2012 he can fucking peck sarah palin's eyes out, and for fuck's sake i hope everybody's like "Who?" for palin and not fucking foamy. please.

If Palin wins in 2012, I go to Canada. Don't you love how McCain supporters want to move to Canada when Obama won? Canada is much more Liberal than the U.S.

I agree, The Brink was not grunge. It was a mix between 'In Utero' era Nirvana and 'Wish You Were Here' era Pink Floyd, and...hell, even some NOFX in there I guess...I dunno...It's Progressive Grunge Punk.

I also love The guitar arrangements in 'Waiting To Die' It almost sounds like you would record one note, then end the recording, then the next note, then end the recording ... It sounded so dirty...in a good way.

dude if Palin is even the GOP nominee in 2012 i'm gonna get ready to move! that, or... well, enough said.

I never really liked overdubbed guitars, at least more than two at once, until I heard your stuff. Thanks for expanding my views.
I anticipate Hotel NJ like I anticipate all your upcoming songs.
Yes, Waiting to Die is extremely grungy, but The Brink and stuff like that is more, um, Rossy, I dunno, kind of hard to explain.

Also, glad you put up Saving Face Machine, I'm happy even though I already have the album version.

i never really knew the difference until i started researching recording, and finding out just how often overdubbing is used, and you wouldn't even know it... i tried to do it real subtly (well, as subtle as i can pull off, this is me we're talkin about) and i think you'll enjoy the results. it really sounds like one guitar, but big and nasty and loud.

Also, Biafra for President 2012!
