Who wants to know?
We’re SPLINTER and we don’t care whether you like us or not but we need the money and figure CBGB’s has got a name and gets a crowd so we’ll play there. We only play weekends – none of these open mike or Wet T Shirt Tuesdays – we got our pride. This is a cut from our Live at Max’s EP and if you don’t like it so what – people paid money to come watch us make a record. You got LSD 25 vocals and guitar (ex Reverb Mother Fucker) – Stu bass – Bud guitar (ex Dog Eat Dog) – and D. OD on drums.
What’s the cut of the door? We get a $250 guarantee and a case of Schlitz.
Lyrics:
Jim goes to the train every day
To a job for the bills he must pay
Beef products Turkey parts and the like
That’s what Jim calls his life
Well he’s up or down
You can tell cause Jim wears a smile or a frown
Sometimes he looks in the mirror
He’s a different person in a different place
He’s even got a different face
Jim works 50 weeks to get off 2
He’s going to retire in 2022

Splinter Concert Shirt &mdash 05/02/08 - 08:21:38 AM
By the way, I am wearing my Splinter shirt - it has a dog on it and some other band, I forget the name....
It has a safety pin in it too. [ Reply to This ]
Hey man you heisted that case - &mdash 05/02/08 - 01:57:38 PM

The beer never had achance to get warm &mdash 05/02/08 - 02:01:14 PM
thanks for coming by the show. Did you pay or were you on somebodies list? Seems a lot of people were comped - really cuts into the gas money. [ Reply to This ]
What larks &mdash 05/02/08 - 01:39:03 PM
Lovely rich and raw sound on that guitar and a very authentic live feel. Oh, I see Chris has already said that. It's true though. I love the casually distracted dynamics of the rhythm guitar as it can't quite decide whether it wants to catch up with the rest of the band or not.
Great stuff, I really enjoyed this. :) [ Reply to This ]
Sounds live cause it is live - &mdash 05/02/08 - 02:05:57 PM
this was recorded straight to Zoom H2 stereo in my basement with my laptop playing DOD loops through an amp that was sitting on the drum throne (only overdub is the end drum lick). The other two guys - LSD 25 and Stu are my mates that come around to play on Wednesday nights. I'll tell LSD about the casually distracted comment - he'll love it. [ Reply to This ]
casually distracted &mdash 05/05/08 - 07:27:59 AM
It is meant to be a compliment even if it doesn't sound like one. :) [ Reply to This ]

Great live sound. Thats cool how you ran DOD through an amp to record live. I never would have thought of that. Awesome tune! [ Reply to This ]

Oh, that smell... &mdash 05/03/08 - 11:58:02 AM
This great! I feel as if I am there... I can smell the stale beer and old sweat mingling with the piss smell emanating from the bathroom, or is that the stage...? Hope you're able to make your rent money...

LSD's old lady has this big loft her mother &mdash 05/03/08 - 10:30:29 PM
left her when she ditched her dad and ran off to Ibiza with this coke dealer. As long as we get a load on and have money left over for breakfast it's a good night. [ Reply to This ]

Strip your throat &mdash 05/04/08 - 02:34:13 PM
Can you still speak after that song? I'd be writing everything on a little chalkboard hanging around my neck after singing something like that.
Nice work.

More Beer &mdash 05/05/08 - 12:20:59 PM
...I vaguely remember this show... the floor was sideways through most of it, though. You guys were standing on the wall too. That was weird. Everything was sideways.
Wait a minute... I think I was lying on the floor. Ohhkaaaay.... that explains it. Some girl tripped over me and I said she had cool boots and she told me to f**k off.
What an awesome show. I don't know how I ended up in Hoboken the next morning smelling like duck, but... anyone seen my pants? [ Reply to This ]
