Description:
Yo Hilly –
Echo is pleased to present Second Slide for your pleasure. This is the A side of our colored vinyl 7”. We’ll let you know when there’s a B side so’s if you buy it you’ll get your money’s worth. Till then we’re just hoping for a slot at CBGB’s so we can get some girls back here in Craigdale.
Echo consists of Echoroom on vocals - Strummy Bud on rhythm guitar – Twang Bud on lead guitar – Thud Bud on bass – and D. OD on drums. Lyrics by Echoroom - production by Fiddle Bud.
- Money Bud (manager)
WARNING - Lower level master like the old days - CRANK YOUR SYSTEM
Lyrics:
Time isn't friendly
It can be your enemy
You cant hurt it
It wont take your bribery.
I woke up one time and
The clocks were laughing at me.
Let the second slide
The Second slide.
i woke up at 30
Must have been about yesterday
My teeth were pearly
My little heart was so afraid
Let the second slide
The Second slide.
One the second day I
Left my fingers talking
Potential wasted
Potential wasted
Time isnt working
Not something you can tame
When you were a baby
You didn't even have a name.
Seven days to tell your story
Your little world is hunky dory ....

Nice one Steve and Bud &mdash 05/02/08 - 08:04:51 AM
Thanks Bryn &mdash 05/03/08 - 09:16:58 PM
it was fantastic working with Steve - he raises everything he touches to whole other level. [ Reply to This ]
Stunning &mdash 05/02/08 - 08:13:44 AM
collaboration from you two - The jangly guitars are great - like the Bowie reference in the lyrics Steve! Still think you sound more Bauhaus...

The Dame &mdash 05/02/08 - 11:10:59 AM
Yeah, I thought the Hunky Dory reference was funny. I did my best Byrne/ McCulloch on this - didnt think it was too Murphy-ish!
When bud sent this to me, i freakin' was thrilled to bits - its just my sorta music - the guitar work is sublime - a real pleasure to finally work with the bud-meister!

You guys really tore it on on this gigantic surprize. Steve, the lyrics are fantastic. You know, you could be a singer one of these days, if time doesn't run out for you...
Bud, you always rock, so what's new with you? I do love the droning twangy choppy strummy guitars and that one really odd change where the drums pound and Steve sings Second slide - around 1:22. Amazing structure.
Your little world is hunky dory. Nice.

Nice of you to comment - glad you like the song. Gotta say - your artwork and starting the flyer thread was a great boost to this project. How cool has this been? [ Reply to This ]
Okay then &mdash 05/02/08 - 08:42:52 AM
You guys really ROCKS... Sure is a hit.. I buy the EP/LP..lol

I love the chours, it has an INXS feel to it.
I like the guitar tone. Is that a tele?
Slide on you guys!
Great collab!

No tele &mdash 05/03/08 - 09:21:54 PM
that's my cheapo Danelectro through a Line 6 Gearbox. I love that guitar - nothing sounds like it and it can sound like anything. I hear the INXS too - Steve really brought this tune home. [ Reply to This ]
Great &mdash 05/02/08 - 12:47:02 PM
Glad you stopped by &mdash 05/03/08 - 09:23:14 PM
Looking forward to this one &mdash 05/02/08 - 02:06:32 PM
did not disappoint. Bowie rocks with (insert your favorite NY late 70's - early 80's band here)
Really dug this.

Good driving beat and the vocals the spot on. NicE!
Makes me think of early Talking Heads.

it's so nice of you to drop by - wish we were really hanging at CB's together right now. [ Reply to This ]
Yay &mdash 05/02/08 - 03:03:48 PM
Oooh, I used to love coloured vinyl singles!
Fab song ... lovely jangly guitars and a fine early 80s ambience.
Wonderful vocals as always Steve. You're totally in your element with this stuff.
Very enjoyable all round. [ Reply to This ]
mp3's really can't replace a nice sparkly clear red 7" &mdash 05/03/08 - 09:29:43 PM
oh well - if we were still cutting wax we wouldn't be meeting here then would we? This was such a blast to do with Steve - I'm really grateful he found the time. [ Reply to This ]
I'll buy it ! &mdash 05/02/08 - 03:39:40 PM
Whatever can be the B side. This is the first CBGB demo entry I'm listening to, and I was expecting nothing less than a masterpiece from you guys. Well, you didn't disappoint.

Excellent tune guys! everything sounds great. Fast and moving with a slight hint of the punk-abilly twang in the guitars. the chorus is awesome!
a real show opener if there ever was one. [ Reply to This ]

a killer song.That rhythm guitar is really well played and recorded and of course the vocals are great. [ Reply to This ]
I'll share a secret &mdash 05/03/08 - 09:35:59 PM
I never played the guitar straight through - I gave it my best and then the cutting and pasting started. God bless digital for making up for mediocre chops. You on the other hand can really play. [ Reply to This ]
What a surprise! &mdash 05/02/08 - 04:53:05 PM
Really fantastic song with (of course) brilliant lyrics/vocals and the musicianship and production are top notch. Very enjoyable.
Cheers

A good song featuring echoroom? It's a given. Thanks Len- always nice hearing from you. [ Reply to This ]
Fantatstic! &mdash 05/02/08 - 07:23:13 PM

It's hard to believe... &mdash 05/02/08 - 08:58:15 PM
...that this isn't live. I am amazed by your collective talents and how you bring them all together with such engaging music that's filled with amazing energy and spontaneity. My only criticism: this was too short. I could easily stand another minute or so.
Peace.

Great song guys. Steve your vocals sound great on this. Guitars really stand out too. Looking forward to the B side. [ Reply to This ]
I'm looking forward to the B side too &mdash 05/03/08 - 09:42:06 PM
if I can get Steve to do another track. Guess I'll have to go out and get us a contract = lol. Thanks Nick. [ Reply to This ]
Echo &mdash 05/03/08 - 01:28:36 AM

Do you remember... &mdash 05/03/08 - 08:00:18 AM

Cool slice of history, guys....nicely crafted. [ Reply to This ]
Yes I do &mdash 05/03/08 - 09:43:46 PM
it was the best place to play. They really took it seriously and everyone got treated well. Nice hearing from you Bob. [ Reply to This ]

I get &mdash 05/03/08 - 07:33:00 PM
a Television vibe from this. LOVE it. Drivin' music. Open 'er up on the highway. The big reverb is perfect, get that muddy-middly hollow clang of Brownies room (Bud you know where I'm talking about). The slap-back delay on the vox are is killer. The jangly Bud licks are dead-on. I would have come to see you...great collab gentlemen!

I was really hoping to hear a CB's track &mdash 05/03/08 - 09:53:40 PM
from you Philip - there's still time. Thanks for the close listening and kind comments - I know that sound you're talking about but wasn't thinking of it till now. You know how cool it is to work with Steve - he's so generous with the vocal tracks. I had a great time mixing his voice. [ Reply to This ]

Bud, you gotta seek some help for your shattered personality. I'm worried about you. Don't stop beating up your guitar. It's helping, I think.
Steve, keep singing. If I wore underwear I'd throw them on stage---wait, I mean, you rock dude.
I need to go to bed and stop listening to punk rock, it seems.

cool tune &mdash 05/05/08 - 05:37:07 PM
it's almost like jangle goth. this is great, the vocal effects are giving it that perfect period feel and that chorus is killing me. great guitar too, almost echo and the bunnymen like (love that scrappy fender sound). [ Reply to This ]
