"Oh, yeah, he broke it!" "No, it's not; you're being negative."




This is next week's song if you perform it backwards. This version has more of a liturgical feel to it than next week's song. The sampled guys sound like they're saying, "Oh, yeah, he broke it," "No, it's not; you're being negative." It almost sounds as if they're arguing, but, as you'll hear next week, they're actually having a friendly exchange.

Oh, Holy Fuck



Here's the 3rd to the last song in the Corky Red Tail album (although I have 3 more songs after this one to post). In this song, Rudy the Cop has this big bucket of paint and he's gonna throw it on the bust of George Washington at Mt. Rushmore. Verdell and Mogie, in the spirit world, are all, "oh holy fuck, he's really gonna do it, he's gonna do it, he's really gonna do it. This is the best thing that I ever saw - Rudy the Cop is gonna break the law."

Corky's all excited, too, because when his mom sees old George with paint on his face, she'll know it's a sign from him that he's okay in the spirit world. So, in his stoked-ness, he sings his death song, just for good measure.

The sample is of Rudy sayin' "son of a bitch! Iktomi!" See, he sees a spider on the can o' paint and that's what makes him decide to throw it cuz he's been havin' that old Iktomi-Trickster-Spider following him around for the whole movie. He's ready to throw that trickster spider along with that bucket of paint, and all that.

 This is what last week's song sounds like when you play it backwards.

I'm gonna post this link again to the Winona's Hemp page. See, she got to the 100 grand goal (yay), and it would be even cooler if she exceeded that by 25 grand, because she needs to buy farm equipment. Yesiree.


For anyone new to this blog, the album I'm discussing is based on the movie, Skins. (Spoiler Alert)... It follows this character, Corky Red Tail, into the afterlife cuz he gets murdered in the beginning of the movie. Then he's joined by Mogie and Verdell, who both die of alcoholism in one way or another. The three of them work together to try to get a message to Corky's mom that he's okay in the afterlife. The most likeliest candidate to do that is Rudy, Mogie's brother, because all three of them knew Rudy when they were alive, so they're all connected to him in one way or another.

Room C



 Here's another one of those backwards songs. I'm calling this one Room C. It also has oatmeal in it.

I also wanted to draw attention to this worthy cause. Winona LaDuke, she's this really awesome, cool person, and she wants to start a hemp farm. I really hope this project succeeds; if you pledge, you can get cool stuff like stickers and things. Check it out, man.

Linkin Park Cover (Shadow of the Day)



I'm posting this on an off-day because it's a cover song. See, I wanted to do something in honor of Chester Bennington, so I learned how to perform "Shadow of the Day" backwards. (It's on Linkin Park's album, Minutes to Midnight). It's one of my favoritest Linkin Park songs in the whole world.

 Here's how it sounds if you turn it around. I had to omit the drums because they didn't work when I turned 'em around. I also realized I kept on singing one of the notes wrong, so I layered me singing that note right, ontop of the regular vocals. I dunno, I think I'm happy with how close I got to the actual song, but if you were to just listen to this by itself, it's probably a pretty crappy cover. (Sorry, Linkin Park!)

 I'd recorded me performing the actual song so I could turn it around backwards in my computer and figure out how to perform it backwards. This is an excerpt from that recording - it's the one part that doesn't suck.

Shit, I hope I'm not violating any copyright stuff. I guess if Linkin Park gets wind of this here recording, they can rest, assured that I'm not making any $$$$ offa this.

I'm the Ghost of Murdered Corky



In this song, Rudy has found out who Corky's murderers are, so he gets revenge on them by whacking their knees with a baseball bat. See, the picture is of Rudy with a nylon on his head so he won't be recognized. In the song, Corky is freaking out a little bit because he's worried that he might have inadvertently influenced Rudy to do that deed. But then, in the end, he realizes it probably doesn't matter all that much.

 This is last week's song if you play it backwards.
