On 10/27/2014 I uploaded this re-mastered version, dropping the first half of the vocals by 3dbs.

You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn…
Justin, The drum on STEPPIN' ON SOME TOES is just poking the bass drum and the snare drum keys on my midi keyboard. Then I quantize it to the 1/16, because I'm lousy at playing on the beat, add some reverb to it and then pull the volume down until it sounds like it's way back there somewhere.
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want…
Lyrics and music by Hank Williams Sr., but my cover is in Dm/D, with guitar and bass tuned to Drop D.
KAW-LIJA
Kaw-Lija was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store

LOCOMOTIVE BREATH
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going…

This is an IDEA or blueprint for the solo of a song I wrote called the same 12 steps. It's just a snippet and it's unmixed but it's just so pretty to me. This was one take on each track (backing/lead) but I think alot of the reason it turned…
Hold The Nighttime

Hold the nighttime just as close as you can. Get to know it. Yeah, make it your friend. Taste the darkness and you'll understand. The moon reflects the light on the land. But not everything is what it seems... in this dream…
seem to forget
nothing i had
is all there is
to regret
lost since my youth
in spite of it too
my dreams
will come true
all this time that you will find
i believe that i will fly
across the world
for you
now you will see
all…
This is my second piece for the RPM challenge... And it's a big milestone for me... the first time I ever played my own instrument along with it! It's rough, but you gotta keep trying and start somewhere, right? Greg Connor... you'll understand…
I know I keep saying this, but... you have a sweet voice. That's a cool story. But I think the first time I heard a song written about an instrument was Stephen L. Krell singing about one of his vintage electric. Yours however was far less noisy! ;) Good job, Colleen, and that's some nice poetry!
Holly! Wow! That's some mighty fine compositioning! I'm impressed. Very tasty, very delightful, and quite enchanting. Great job! It's great you were able to migrate here from ez so I didn't have to miss this gorgeous number!
The first song completed for the 2015 RPM Challenge. This is historic for me in that it's an RPM song that used a real amplifier instead of a software simulator. It's not my cool Marshall, it's my Fender who once took a bath in gasoline (long…
from the album 'ZERO'
with Alex Moody on Vocals
lover cease
and desist what you say
cause there's a ton of trouble
coming your way
lover be strong
it's gonna be a crazy ride
but when it all hits the fan
i'll be the one with the plan…
I have to agree with my alter-ego about the Doors thing, but I must add that the bass line is especially, wickedly, tasty! Alex did a great job on vocals and you did a mind-blowing excellent job of mixing down and mastering those vocal tracks.
Leaving me wondering too, after hearing this "Silly cover of a silly song," what kind of tasty, mind-blowing damage you could do with silly ol' "Rock Lobster" by the B-52s (although I prefer sometimes the version by Peter Griffin).
You might also dig what Big Time Operator [who is not me] did to my "niaR" track -- what you might call a remix, but it's actually something more -- he used the song like an instrument, playing it on a track of the mix down of his own creation:

Gene Eric Mann (generic man) and I, Justin Otter Guy (just another guy) are the same person -- I'm also on AloneTone as Merry Bear and, with my soul-mate, as Nightmoth. Anyway, thank you for listening to and kindly commenting on so many of my G.E.M. songs. Regarding "niaR" (Rain spelled backwards), here is "another way" of listening to the same track, a way that your 8 year old might better understand and actually appreciate:

"Burglar Man" was recorded in 1959 at Knott's Berry Farm in Orange County, California. This one, "The Mechanic's Song," was recorded in the early '70s at New Recording Studio in Indianapolis. The rest of the recordings were done in 2000 in the boxcar at the Hobo-owned park in Britt, Iowa.

You did a little Marlin Manson like cover. Nice arrangement.
You got the touch. You & gene both.
Always loved this song. The strange buzz is perhaps gonzo attempting to amply the doctor.
How much fun it must be to recreate this old chestnut. What a time that was!
This is groovy.
Such a cool texture.
Old Hank! just a head! LOVE IT!!!!!
Nice rendition of an awesome song!
cool version man!
Dig this a lot - again very earthy, organic quality in what you do.
Nice cover with a sense of your own thing. Nice earth in this Justin.
Have y'all checked out the video?
Great version mate. Dig the guitar.
exploding the jet stream.
Cool.
Cool guitar
Comments made by Justin Otter Guy
Nice work out! Top notch performance and mix-down. Digging that strong bass.
Rock Lobster -- those are badass stand-up bass runs!
GORGEOUS!!!
Cool vocals, and you know your way around the neck of a six string. Enjoyed your picking technique. Groovy, for sure!
FUNKY-LICIOUS!
For some reason I find myself agreeing 100% with what Gene Eric Mann said about this song, as if he were me!
Angie Fights Crime is how I ended up here. WOW! I love this mix down. Great job! Rock on! Delicious! Gripping!

I really, truly dig this rift! Choice lead chomps! I good with the lyrics too -- Rock on!

Gorgeous, fantastic, and amazing. Your shredding so blows me away, always leaving me wonder, "How does he do it?!" Delicious!

Y'all are so professional, so together. What the Hell are you doing here on AloneTone? You should be topping the Billboard charts!
Oh hell yeah!
