What with all the great Zep covers posted by Tworegs and Chris Vaisvil, here's mine, I enlisted the vocal of the man himself, thanks Reg! Also note my new fretless strat as second guitar here.
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!!
So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)
A further study in Inverse Bipedal Degradation (http://alonetone.com/breakinglight/tracks/inverse-bipedal-degradation)
All samples (swamp frogs/crows) by Tomlija over @ freesound.org
This song is the first Solar Fetus song to only use two people. Absolutely no one showed up to Adam and I's room in time to record this, so we ended up doing it by ourselves. The talking, screaming, and random sound you hear faintly in the background…
Thanks Kirk, Jarvis. It's an Epiphone mando I borrowed from a friend. I'm supposed to be laying down some tracks for a song, but have gotten sidetracked, experimenting with it ;)
Landry/Garn
When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
Cool. In many ways I like this one better. Not so much ME, and Jim does some lead. Nothing against Norm, but the drums work better here and seem to propel the song more.
Recorded in 2008.
Fuzz guitar through an old DDL into a pitch transposer, recorded in one pass with no edits or overdubs.
Just a minute noodle doodle, really, but it's gonna go somewhere.
Honest!

Love these nylon excursions. Brimming with melodic ideas.
There ye go. Curious title.
Beefheart is alive and well! Like the gtr.
Delicioso!
