Lemon Sour
c. ’13 The Hungry Drunx

When I see yo’ lemon

Sour

When I see yo’ lemon
It makes me happy
When I see yo’ lemon
The sun be gonna shine
When I see yo’ lemon
I know we gonna make
When I see yo’ lemon
We gonna take it fo’ a ride

When I see yo’ lemon

The Hungry Drunx: “Black Finger”

Black Finger
c. ’13 The Hungry Drunx

Sometime back in the 70’s
Everything seemed so heavenly
We piled in the four of us
3 was the muscle and one the boss
—
We’d planned this all week
And we was talkin’ a blue streak
weren’t tryin’ to be too hip, no,
We hadda take us this road trip, y’know

CH: Once we got there we just didn’t wanna linger
We was there to lend a hand, get us all some Black Finger

Was little a Chevy with our asses so heavy
we got some beer and wine settin’ up party time
He drove us fast on the interstate because we couldn’t be late
Had get to the park before the dark
CH 2x

We made our pick-up and we paid off the man
There weren’t no stick up, it all went according to plan
we spent a cuppla hundreds and flew back to Champaign
And it was a good time and and we knew we’d do it again

Vlayman w/ Grankspoine: “Fluffer”

Fluffer
c. ’10 Vlayman

Well she left me liein’ there, she left me wif a lie,
Ever’thang were goin’ so smooth, ’til she left me hi
and dry,
She had a place in my life, she he’ped me when I
were down,
She kept me up all nite, kept my werld goin’ ’round.

CH:
This heer is my diary,
This heer iz my story,
‘Bout a gurl I couldn’t take home to mother,
The wun I love, she were my fluffer,
Alwayz knew jes’ how to pleeze,
Now she gotz me on my kneez,
I love her, I love her, I love he, I love her,
I love my-y-y-y little fluffer

When I hadda me a pro’lem, it wuz to her that I
awewayz ran,
I never got bothered, that she had her other manz,
We stayed together fur mutual support, made sum
money and played sum dirty sport,
And then she left me low-down dry again.

CH:
This heer is my diary,
This heer iz my story,
‘Bout a gurl I couldn’t take home to mother,
The wun I love, she were my fluffer,
Alwayz knew jes’ how to pleeze,
Now she gotz me on my kneez,
I love her, I love her, I love he, I love her,
I love my-y-y-y little fluffer

Well she left me holdin’ on, waitin’ fur whutever
wood cum,
Bring me back to where I been, do me right and
keep it clean,
Another like her will never be seen, She got right
down in between,
Grabbed by my problemz and fixed me, gave me a drink of her lovin’ cup gave

CH:
This heer is my diary,
This heer iz my story,
‘Bout a gurl I couldn’t take home to mother,
The wun I love, she were my fluffer,
Alwayz knew jes’ how to pleeze,
Now she gotz me on my kneez,
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her,
I love my-y-y-y little fluffer

And money don’t matter when yer pride iz
shattered,
She wuz the only guaranteed to put me together,
Build me up when I wuz low, straighten out my
vertigo,
Fluff me up and puff me up, why’d she hafta to f*ck
me up.?

CH:
This heer is my diary,
This heer iz my story,
‘Bout a gurl I couldn’t take home to mother,
The wun I love, she were my fluffer,
Alwayz knew jes’ how to pleeze,
Now she gotz me on my kneez,
I love her, I love her, I love he, I love her,
I love my-y-y-y little fluffer

Lead vocal mic’s

In response to a query at TOMB, I posted:

I’m pretty cheap, and thus do I recommend:

Condensors:

KSM27: about the cheapest of the Shure LDC’s, the more I use it on vocals (all I’ve tried it on), the more I like it – where I prefer it to both of the above;

M-Audio Luna: I love this on vocals (all I’ve tried it on), a very obvious transformer sound, a little dark and thick and pretty unique among what I’ve listed here;

Blue Spark: why people aren’t raving about this, especially at the price, I have no idea – again, only used on vox, but I love it as kinda the opposite of the Luna, a built in EQ adjustment, capable of great clarity, but try not to sing too loud too close into it;

ADK A-51; I have the model V, and am always amazed at how good it sounds on anything.

Tube:

I have a couple/3 cheapies, but the MXL V69ME sounds really, really good on vox and room; it’s just such a PITA to set-up (I leave it up, actually, so it’s always in the way  ) and warm up.

Dynamics:

I know you asked re LDC’s, but lemme shout out the MD421 II and RE320 as nice new LD’s, and note that the Peavey 520i is much cheaper and a little brighter/thinner but close to the SM7b, to what I often choose it over. Also worthy is the Beta 58 – surprised me how nicely it records vocals when used with a nice pre. My fave, tho’ is a MD421n.

Ribbon:

Again, I have a few cheapies but the Beyerdynamic M500 is very reasonable on the used market, and pretty damn cool on vox – but research it, the design is a little weird …

Vlayman 4-20-13 challenge: “Glass Branches”

Glass Branches 
c. ’13 Vlayman 

Thru the windows to the rain 
I think I can see you again 
I think I can feel your pain 
thru the window paine 
Glass, Glass Branches 

In the dark all thru the park 
Everything’s shiny without a mark 
Smooth and clean and glistening hard 
Oh, yeah, thru the window paine 
Glass, Glass Branches 

Sidewalks covered in glassy sheets 
And so are the roofs as is the street 
And the sound of the shattering comes complete 
thru the window paine 
Glass, Glass Branches 

35 years and I hear the cracks 
Our feet made as I flash back 
walking underneath to the cold hard facts 
Oh, yeah, thru the window paine 

Don’t fall 
I know what yer feeling 
yer a chameleon 
Don’t fall 2x 

Glass, Glass Branches

about

Each month, on the 20th of the month, a bunch of people from all kinds of places start making songs. And then they finish them, that same day! Why would they do that? It doesn’t matter! The songs are great! Very often!This is generally what happens with “the 20th project”. You record a song on the 20th of the month and send it in. The songs get brought together and sent back off to the people who created them, and everyone connects via song, hearing what everyone else came up with.Here’s a selection of such tracks from 2012. We hope you enjoy them.

This compilation contains contributions from Ridge Crowthorne (Australia), The Heavy Metal Experience Incident (Australia), Andy McClelland (Canada), Mystified (USA), kokori (Portugal), The Friday Project (USA), Soul Epidemic (Australia), Haru (Australia), +ko+ko+ (Portugal), Merankorii (Portugal), Vlayman (USA) and The Desks (Australia).

You can contribute some month if you like.

Vlayman (Dinos, Sr. on drums): “Explain”

Explain
c. ’13 Vlayman

I don’ wanna be a weak sister
But shovelin’ yer shit all day
Has given me blisters
I don’t wanna complain, too much now
I jes’ wanna explain how it’s goin’ for us now

I don’ wanna complain
I jes’ wanna explain

I don’ think ya hafta worry about me none
I don’t think I’m any kind of threat to you
No, I don’ think ya hafta worry about me none
Worry ’bout the things that I might do

Ya know it wouldn’t cost ya a whole lot
To try and make make happy
It wouldn’t cost ya much of what ya already got
Ya know it wouldn’t cost ya a whole lot
To try and keep me quiet
It wouldn’t cost ya a whole lot
To buy my silence

Vlayman (Dino,Sr. on drums): “13 Women”

13 Women
c. ’13 Vlayman

Sixty cigarettes a day and I’m nervous
I think I’m gonna cough up a lung
Sixty cigarettes a day and I’m nervous
I ain’t havin’ too much fun

Sixteen pills a day is what I take now
But I could use a couple more
Sixteen pills a day is what I take now
They ain’t helping any more

Fourteen women have received my number
One or two know what to do
Fourteen women have received my number
None of em dun me like you do.

Thirty-nine steps was always your favorite movie
You see yourself as some kinda spy
Thirty-nine steps was always your favorite movie
You like it when the good guys die

Fourteen women have received my number
One or two know what to do
Fourteen women have received my number
None of em dun me like you do.
