Sorghum and Leaf Blower

SORGHUM1

Here's the backwards version of next week's song. I think next week's one is darker'n this week's one, but maybe it's cuz the lyrics are dark in that one.

LEAFBLOW

 The leaf blowers showed up again right before I wanted to record something with a live mike. (It was drums this time - they usually show up when I'm about to record vocals). So here's this week's leaf blower song.

This is a Stupid Idea Mogie; Leaf Blower (Bonus Track)

STUPID03

This is last week's song if you play it backwards. In this song, Rudy the cop is receiving psychic transmissions from the spirits of his brother, Mogie; Mogie's best friend, Verdell; and Corky. They're all tellin' Rudy to vandalize the George Washington bust on Mount Rushmore to make it look like he's crying. Rudy's all, "this is a stupid idea, Mogie," because he thinks it's a stupid idea.

I didn't realize, until after I recorded the song, that it sounds kind of innuendo-ish. There's a lot of innuendo-ish sounding stuff in it.

Weird this isastupid idea m

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

LEAFBL0W

This week, I included a bonus track about how much I hate the sound of leaf-blowers. See, I was just about to record the vocals to the song I did today, when the stupid leaf blowers started going outside. That always happens - it's always either a leaf blower or a garbage truck that shows up when I'm about to record vocals. So I gotta wait cuz they would invariably bleed through onto the recording. Poopity pooop.

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.

Jrove Relax - Sick Yahm, We Are Drinking

WERDRINK

Here's the backwards version of next week's song. It's, like, the narrator is tellin' someone to relax cuz the narrator is drinking. The forwards version isn't about drinking, though.

We're Gonna Get High Tonight

HITONITE

This week's entry is unusual in the sense that I don't have a backwards version for it yet; I just sort of felt like posting it. It's a weird entry, too, because, although I haven't posted all the songs to the death-album I've been working on, I'm jumping ahead to a song from the next album. 

It's hard to describe what this next album is. See, these're gonna be the songs that go between the songs of the previous album. You know how operas have arias, and musicals have those really good songs that everyone remembers? And then there's the singing in between the main songs? Y'know, that stuff that moves the plot along, but they aren't the memorable songs? (They usually sound like shit, but that might just be me being a big jerk, saying that). 

The new album is gonna be those in-between songs. I'm gonna aspire to have them not sound like shit, but I don't know how successful I'll be at that. Anyway, in this song, Corky is planning on smoking pot with his friends, but when he gets to the place where they were supposed to meet, there're mean guys there instead. This is the song that leads up to the previously posted song called "I Am Dead" (posted on March 24 of this year). Since I sing this here new song real fast, I decided to write out the lyrics, so you can follow along with it.

Me and my friends, we like to smoke pot/ We like to smoke it an ever lovin' lot

It is a plant that comes from a seed/ We like to smoke that ever lovin' weed

We're gonna get high tonight

We're s'posed to meet at that stupid little shack/ Once upon a time it was a place for smoking crack

And then I'm coming toward the house but something looks wrong/ Where are my friends? I do not know - they were supposed to bring the bong

 We're gonna get high tonight
I think they skeedaddled and are hiding in the weeds/ I should have come with them; oh fuck, what can this be?
They were meeting earlier but I could not go/ I had to work that day to make my money grow
It is not my friends in there - it's Mean Guys 1 and 2/ Oh, shit, they see me! There's nothing I can do!
"Hey, you owe us money!"/ "Wait, I do not! I paid you months ago; at least that's what I thought."
We're gonna get high tonight. Oh, shit, maybe not.

Next week, I'll get back to posting the main songs from the Corky album.

I'd Like the Great White Father in Washington to Look Like He is Crying

GREATWHT

 As usual, here's the forwards-version of last week's backwards-song, which is another part of that rock opera/death-album thingy I'm working on.

This song is sung from the point of view of Mogie after he's in the spirit world. He's tryin' to convince his brother, Rudy, to do graffiti on the George Washington statue-thingy at Mt. Rushmore. See, he wants Rudy to make it look like George Washington's crying cuz the picture, above, is a picture Corky drew when he was in the 3rd grade. It's one of Corky's mom's favorite pictures; as such, if she sees the Mt. Rushmore George Washington looking like that picture, she'll know it's a sign from Corky that he's okay in the afterlife.

Okay...bastard-son-of-a-bitch...the song up there, it keeps on crapping out half-way through, and I don't know if it's because of my slow internet connection, or if there's something wrong with the poopy website I use to host these songs. So, here's an embedded player from another site I use...hopefully, this'll work. (If it sounds all bolloxed up, you can go to the podcast, itself, where it might work better).

Weird great white father

Nut N(g)ishaw Nih Earth Off Tyaw Tyearg Uth Kyall Dyah

NUTNGISH

This is the backwards version of next week's song. The picture of the guys crying has to do with the fact that next week's song has crying-ness in it. I mean, these guys aren't in the actual song cuz it's about another guy.  Sort of. I went ahead and scanned some of the rest of the page that the crying guys are on, cuz I happened to draw them on the piece of paper where I printed up the lyrics of this here song.

Have Lots of Fun

LOTSAFUN

Yeah, I actually got this song from a dream. Corky and Verdell are hanging out in the spirit world, when Mogie suddenly appears. Verdell's all confused because he didn't know Mogie had died. Mogie admits that he died of alcoholism, but that's okay cuz now the three of them are together and they can have lots of fun. In the song, Verdell tells Mogie that he wants them to help Corky get a message to his mom that he's okay.

The sampled guys are Mogie (saying "hey, you rank old bugger") and Verdell laughing. I guess that's how they greet each other in Heaven.

Weird have lots of fun

As usual, here's the song from last week if you play it backwards.

Nuff Fuh Stall Vah

NUFUSTAL

Here's the backwards version of next week's song. The picture kinda sorta doesn't necessarily apply directly to this here song, though. See, when I listen to next week's song, I imagine the 3 narrators of it marching in place, as they sing. It's one of those happy, marching-in-place sorts of songs. 

Message

MESSAGE1

In short: this is a song sung from the point of view of a dead guy. He wants to get a message to his mom that he's okay in the spirit world.

This is the song where I found out what the Corky Red Tail album is about*. See, when I wrote this song, I'd written the first couple songs, and I knew the album was basically about a dead guy who was trying to communicate with living people to get them to do something for him. But before writing this song, I hadn't known yet what the dead guy (Corky) wanted the living to do for him. Then this song told me what the album was about. It's about how Corky wants to get a message to his mom that he's okay in the spirit world.

He starts trying to communicate with Rudy, the cop, cuz old Rudy's a reliable man. See, the sampled dude talking, he's telling Rudy, "Maybe he entered your brain" meaning, he thinks Iktomi the trickster spider was tryin' to enter Rudy's brain when he got hit on the head with a rock. But in the weird universe of this death-album, it's actually Corky tryin' to communicate with old Rudy. But he doesn't know how to talk to Rudy, so he tries hitting him with a rock.

Actually, I'm not sure why he hits him with a rock. I think I'd have to ask Corky why he thought that hitting Rudy with a rock would get a message to his mom that he's okay. I'm guessing he thought that if he yelled the message while hitting Rudy with the rock, the weird lapse in consciousness caused by him getting hit on the head with the rock would open his brain to communications from the spirit world, which often to require an altered state of consciousness. That's probably what Corky had in mind. It didn't work.

Weird message for my mom

As usual, this is what last week's song would sound like if you turned it around backwards (and dorked with the timing of the tracks to make the rhythm match up with the vocals/guitars/etc).

*For any newcomers to this blog, this song's part of a weird rock opera thingy based on the movie, Skins. [Spoiler Alert]: There's a character, Corky Red Tail, who dies early on in the movie, and this album follows him into the afterlife, where he ends up teaming up with the spirits of 2 guys who also die in the movie (Verdell and Mogie) (they both die of alcohol dependence in one way or another). Corky, Verdell, and Mogie work on gettin' the message to Corky's mom that he's okay in the spirit world.

Take The Dog Out

DOGOUT01

This is the backwards version of next week's song. It's another one of those backwards songs that has words in English (in this case: "take the dog out.") It's actually odd that I haven't posted next week's song yet, because it's one of the more important songs on the Corky album. It's the song that spells out, for the listener, just what this Death Album is all about. Yesiree.

Geez, You Can Trust Me

GEEZUCAN

Just in case there're any newcomers to this here blog: This is another one of those rock opera/death album songs. The album's based on the movie Skins, and it follows this character, Corky, who dies in the beginning of the movie, into the afterlife.

This week's song is about Verdell, the alcoholic guy who dies and joins Corky in the afterlife. He's tellin' Corky that he can get his friend, Mogie (who's still alive) to help them make a sign to show Corky's mother that he's alright. He's all explainin' how Mogie's a joker, and Verdell can influence him to play a big old practical joke that'll end up being that sign. (The samples are Verdell sayin' "geez, you can trust me," and Corky thanking him for bein' trustworthy ("alright, thanks").

Verdell's plan is to get Mogie to vandalize the George Washington bust on Rushmore, like, painting him so he looks like he's crying (which will remind Corky's mother of a picture of George Washington crying that Corky drew when he was a kid). That'll be the sign that Corky's alright.

Weird geez u can trust me
Here's last week's song played backwards, which makes a weird version of this week's song.

Snake Y'rold

SNAKEYRL2

As usual, this is the backwards version of next week's song. Next week's one is a Corky death album song from a while back; I'm not sure why it took me so long to backwards it. This backwards song is 1. really different from the forwards one, mood-wise and 2. one of those backwards songs I wouldn't've been able to think of, if I was just trying to make up a song.
