It’s the Egg.

Which came first, the egg, or the eggnog?

Similiar question would be: Which came first, me unwittingly plagiarizing myself, or me doing a conscious decicion to add elements in my music, that I’ve used before?

TAKE THAT TAKE features a little bass riff, that was shamelessly and deliberately ripped from another piece I made. All in good fun.

Also, the C-part is pretty good. It’s shame it only makes a brief appearance. Maybe…

Sure It Is.

Simple stuff today. I wanted this guy here to have:

– Steady & pretty light beat
– Orchestral instruments hovering around
– Quirky percussions
– Overall light-hearted & fun feel

And that’s what BEATRICKS is. Or I hope it is.

Hei.

Although the text messages from you still keep on rollin’ every monday morning at 5.21 am, and sometimes I might even reply indignantly, I thought that a longer message would be appropriate.

So, how you doin’ in there? Loony tunes? How’s little kitty-kitty?

I’m doin’ great, because this post is a letter from the past, I’m still on vacation and life is sweet! At the time you’re reading this, on the other hand, I’m back on the arki, which is also fine.

Hey, I made something for you! Or to be Frank & Ernest, I made a tune and named it after you: FOR JOHNNY THUNDER. Hope you like it!

That’s it. I would be fun to see you eye to eye, some day. 2112? Maybe even sooner!?

For years, I used to completely avoid using artificial guitars. You know, because I’ve got more guitars in my apartment than the law allows.

(That didn’t come out right)

More recently I’ve put some fake guitars on tunes like NASTYENGINETOE, where the synthesized sound is more than wanted.

Or, hang on… Oh I did make those impossible guitar parts in that tune with the horrible rhythms… And then there was the “electro stoner”-piece… And shoot, of course the two (or three) general midi rock tunes…

So I guess, I gave up on this matter years ago! Live ‘n learn!

The Hardest Game In The World

aka The Stupid Internet Challenge Of The Day:

  1.  Watch “USA For Africa – We Are The World” (the music video)
  2.  DO NOT react in ANY way (grin, tears, shivers, whatever)
  3.  If you’re still stonefaced after seven (7) minutes you WIN
  4.  DO NOT post your (possible) reactions online
  5.  Bonus: Tell your friends FACE TO FACE which singer was your favourite

I usually start cracking around Willie Nelson, and I’ve never made it past Huey Lewis without totally losing it. My two favourites are Cyndi & Ray.

Yeah.

Also, UNELIAS.

Dirty Metal.

Sleaze. Fine word.

Sleaze metal & sleaze rock apparently exist, although they don’t have their own Wikipedia entry – in english. (Does something exist if it doesn’t have an Wikipedia entry?)

So, for all the literate sleazers, sleazists & sleazees out there: You go and make one! Printo pronto!

Something not very metal, but still metal: HEAVY LEATHER. The most judaspriesty song title they never used.

Featuring bass.

Where The Sun.

MSX home computer, made by Toshiba. I think the Toshiba model was HX-10P from 1984, although I may be wrong.

Anyway, the compy had a game called “The Maze Of Galious: Knightmare II”, and it’s like the best ever!

The thing that wasn’t the best ever, was the game’s save system: You had to enter a certain room (a shrine of some sort) in this huge castle the game took place, and the game gave you a 3456 character code which you had to enter to continue your game from that point.

Remember those? Has anyone in the history of the world ever got the kind of code right on the first try?

ALVA bears some resemblance to the music in that save room. And actually, this is not the first time I’ve used “Knightmares” music as a starting point.

… come to think of it… I think there already is another tune called “Stax Free”… I might have played it back in the late 20th century… It’s probably a pop/jazz/rock electric guitar tune, composed by some finn, that’s not me.

I still may have the music sheet. Somewhere. No, not gonna look. No, no, no. No!

Too hot.

… but hey, I still remember the A-part on a guitar! See?

Anyway, another STAX FREE here.

And in case I forgot to say: Hey you there! Yes, you. You have a nice summer there, wherever you are!
