Description:
Well, we have been busy working on fixing some of our old posts…but we usually end up just jamming…here is another spontaneous song/jam from Feb 9th...
This is the first take, recorded with one room mic in the same old basement room...another one to work on.
This one is posted as per jared's request (yelling in the intro)
…reminds me of the first grade…

It is believed that this song was heavily influenced through the story of Cephus's wife chasing after Europa

vocals/guitar - ryan chubb
bass - jared puppe
drums - barry lane

Comments/ideas/questions welcome...thanks for listening.

Lyrics:
(updated Feb 15, 2006)

Well, I want some
I want some more of this now
Silence feeds
This tension born from our missteps

And, you just don't feel safe to - shine some light on
Our mess, oh no?!

V51-7
V51-7
Convolute the way into heaven
V51-7

How far? You that wash your own
Feet boast of all this dust that we have made

A…a constellation set on high
You are a warning, a storm turned upside-down
I call to you
Seaside, foaming tide
With laughter in your eyes, ahh!

Something's going 'round
So here I stand in fog
And wait till you descend

Rock on! &mdash 02/14/06 - 04:32:53 PM
Good straightforward rock is never wrong. You guys seem to have fun
together.

If I may offer one suggestion: don't let the bass double the guitar all the
time. After the first three notes of that riff I'd let the bass play something
else. Plain fundamentals, or a more varied riff.

But if this is a jam, then, eh, you're jammin!

I like the song &mdash 02/15/06 - 08:05:40 PM
I think the mix is very thin. Some rough edges and rhythmic lapses but
I think it is worth perfecting.

Its good to hear a real jam! &mdash 03/01/06 - 10:55:15 AM
for once.. A lot of stuff are so perfected and static, so this is a refreshing tune for my ears! It sounds like you guys have a lot of fun jamming. The voice of mister Chubb reminds me a lot of Bono.. I might be wrong, but isnt this a bit how U2 sounded in the Early days? Great work guys!

kickin! &mdash 04/14/06 - 01:12:49 AM
Another great track - sure this is pretty rough sounding, but the guts are
there in spades. again, really like the guitar work, and you've got a
powerful rock voice.

Keep it up guys, you've got something going on here ....

Nice obscure lyrics too, well delivered &mdash 04/29/06 - 07:14:38 AM
Nice track, nice groove, and nice singing. Something tinny and flat about
the track that makes it sound like a demo recorded during a practice, tho,
and my ears wished it was more alive. I think part of it is the EQing and
almost flange-like effect on the drums, which may have been the MP3
compression too. The bass line gets a little stiff, too, and could use more
finger articulations. Otherwise, really nice track.

Yes, this is a problem I am vigorously trying to overcome…with the one room mic trying to find balance between all the sources is the great fight…the drum hits eat up huge amounts of the dynamic range…the thin sound is partially a result of over-compression and partially a result of the EQing of a deaf man – me! My next investment will be in a set of good monitors and lose these silly headphones…
Thanks…!
