it's alive!

HAI,

Totally not into updating stuff I guess. However I have spent the day drinking coffee, recording music on my new cassette 4-track, and riding my bike to the shop to buy onions.

not pictured: onions

I ended up with a Neu! motorik vibe mixed in with some Eddy Current Suppression Ring style downstroke guitar action. My old WEM amp gets that nice vintage tone when matched with the bridge pickup on my blazer. Then it was a bit of wah overdub for that Neu! vibe.

Everything was done first take, the ride cymbal is too loud, the guitars are out of tune, and the WEM has a fairly nasty mid-range squeal, but I'm happy enough with this track to release it to the wild...

Also, I have a HEAP of new jams from the down under version of The Entire Asian Population, so I'll probably post them at some point. There's a bootleg of our first show over at Turn it up to 10. We might go for a loopy motorik vibe at our next show.
