Recording "She's the Darkness"
Got Boots done and now I'm on to She's the Darkness.
A little (tiny) history:
Andy made a beat around samples from the Fleetwood Mac song, Rhiannon. He made one version, and then another. I liked the 2nd one. Damn this song's old.
And has been a real bastard to record. I've done 2-3 passes on it and none of them seem to strike the right vibe. It's an issue of capturing the spirit of the live performance in a bottle. And I think I may have done that.
Or I thought so yesterday when recording it. Upon today's listen, we shall see. If I deem it worthy, I'm recording thy overdubs.
Next week: Will he survive the heat? How long can he record in an all black room? Will our heroes be reduced to nothing? Stay tuned.

Recording "Boots"
This week has been about recording Boots. The lyrics come from a 1984-like future I imagined. The image of "Boots stomping human faces" being the start of it all.
Andy made a jazzy-punky beat that has some spazzy electic guitar cuts. The beat allows me to walk a line between calm/methodical and violent/energetic.
The songs These Boots Were Made For Walking by Nancy Sinatra and When Will They Shoot? by Ice Cube inspired the intro (Cube) and outro (Nancy).
Today I finished up the primary vocals and half of the overdubs. Should be finishing the other half tomorrow.

July Update
Still recording and re-recording songs for the new record. More Songs For You . I wanna finish this sucker so bad. Move on to other things.
Andy recently got a MPC. He was quoted as saying, "It's like making beats on a graphing calculator." Stay tuned.
Not much going on other than that. Maybe some open mic performances soon. Must record first.
That's all folks

Humble Among (minus the Kings) + Recording "More"
I made the decision to drop Kings from the name. Now just Humble Among. Knew I was going to do it for a while now. Now I can be Humble Among ANYTHING.
I'm recording vocals for "More Songs For You", the sequel to "Songs For You". Which you can still download for free. "More" will be about 15 tracks. After "More", I dive into the Joker project.

Dr. Manhattan's Penis
"The superman exists and his penis is blue."
Watchmen is a 12 issue comic book series collected in trade paperback and hardcover editions. Now also a major motion picture. Watchmen has been hailed by critics of both fiction and film. Not for it's message or it's complex story-telling. No. It's all been about Jon Osterman's cock.
A man is disintegrated in a science experiment gone wrong. He somehow pieces himself back together again. His atoms. His blood. His skeleton. His nervous system. His penis. And it's a blue penis.
My biggest complaint with Watchmen is that the penis didn't play a more important role in the story. There's been talk of a prequel or spin-off movie (or movies) coming out of Watchmen. I think the one they should consider is a Dr. Manhattan dick movie. We can follow his shlong on all kinds of wacky multidimensional adventures, and people can get a whole movie of what they really want to see.
Just please. Pay respect to the source material.
