Hazy "Sunset" MP3 "Water" MP3
Almost unbearably dismal songs, recorded almost unbearably dismally. What can I tell you, I'm the king of dismalia..
Fall, the second Hazy album, was recorded in one afternoon, February 20, 2005. I used one mic and recorded into Cool Edit 96 on the laptop. The mic picked up all of the laptop's squealing and processor noise. All the songs are acoustic guitar and singing, no overdubs or anything. There's a funny bit of synchronicity toward the end of the album when one of the other computers in the room finished burning a DVD and played its little mexican jumping bean "I'm finished burning now" song just as the song ended. The lyrics for "Water" are about the day I visited N!ck Dr@ke's grave.
SUNSET
down in the sky
light turns to ice
slowly burning
away
WATER
walk all morning
east of nowhere
in the mist
breeze
now we rise

The AAD period was short, but also quite amusing I have to say. I'm about due to write another one I believe.
Personally, I dig the AAD concept. While 90% of what you put out might be crap, there is likely to be about 10% that is good. I know with my first AAD that was the case. Some of it just sucked, but there were other songs I thought were actually worthy. The second AAD I did was way too complicated (a doppelganger musical) for it to be worth much of anything.
That high pitched wheeeeeeeooooooo noise was getting on my nerves. The songs were decent enough but that wheeeeeeeoooooooo.... grrrrr. Or maybe it's my machine here. Quiet possible as well.
I think I looked at the photos like 3 times over and just now I realized in the one pic you have one of those hands that people were putting on their trunks and freaking out old ladies coming out of your shorts. Another one of the photos looks like you have a green vinyl record about to saw into the side of your head.
The green vinyl 7" was "Gigolo" by The Damned. This was one of the very very few times when I used a vinyl record as decoration. I hate it when people nail records to their walls.
