There's an expression: "Hell is other people." That is true. This is a song about my new neighbors; they've only been there 3 days and my head is ready to explode. This isn't a very good song, though, and my singing voice is ass this week.

Gloomy Gus Song 17

 

It's still gettin' a little dark in Gloomy Gus Land. The owl in the picture doesn't have anything to do with the song. Or does he?????? This is kind of a rough mix.

I fixed some vocals: Sheesh! I was an actual semi-tone off in one part!!!!!! Argh. No, yeah, I'm glad I tried again. Yeah, okay, yeah, yes. I'm glad I tried doing those vocals again. This is a rough mix.

Bonus track (I might add to it tomorrow) Make them go away forever. If you've ever had a bad neighbor situation, you'll be able to relate:

Music For Blocking Out the Sounds of Screaming Kids: Peacocks

My friend and I were at a winery yesterday. It was a winery that had peacocks walking around. They were yelling a lot, and it dawned on me that this could be part of the concept album I've been cooking up in my head - Music for Blocking Out the Sound of Screaming Kids. I hate the sound of screaming kids - it is the worst sound in the world. Would a song with a bunch of peacocks yelling block out the sound of screaming kids if I played it nice and loud on my li'l speaker? We'll see. Anyway, I might make a concept album of songs with annoying, high-pitched sounds engineered to block out the annoying high-pitched sounds of horrible kids.

Here's a version with more (and slightly louder) peacocks because the peacocks peter out a little bit at the end:

Lots and Lots of Cats

I actually recorded this little ditty a few months ago, and I was saving it for a rainy day (i.e., a day where I didn't have time to record a new little ditty). Such a day has come to pass, so here it is. My phone told me I had "lots and lots of cats" in my camera roll, so that inspired this here little number.
