20's Musical Filler

Your GTB co-house band (proudly sharing the stage with Greasetruck and Rootstone) has another single hitting the airwaves this week.

Summer's almost here. Fishing Trip is 2 months away.

More coming soon -- full album release in the fall. Just for kicks, anyone know how to get homegrown music on vinyl?

How about we combine on a Gheorghe collaborative song?

We write some lyrics about the man, the blog, the group of lunatics we have assembled. Rootsy and Dave throw some chords forth. I’ll play host and collect instrumental and vocal tracks from everyone. Even if it’s a phone recording. Guitar and percussion and singing and spoken word (monologue from Dave) and banjo and jug and washboard and doesn’t Juan Carlos play bass? And rob used to play drums-ish.

Just a thought. It’s actually ridiculously easy.

Whitney said...

It’ll be We Are the Gheorghe plus Ain’t Gonna Play Gheorghe City plus Northern Lights on Gheorghe plus Do You Know It’s Gheorghe

I’m game. I’m finally on the precipice of having discretionary time again.

You guys are keeping busy w/o me. Sad to hear about Rob’s daughter keeling over. Glad it was a non-event. My 13 y/o will get his first shot on Saturday. I have to wait until August for my second guy to become eligible.

TR said...

And in unrelated news, I finally found one of my favorite comedy videos. This is 11 minutes of outtakes from some show many years ago when Zach Galifianakis plays his imaginary brother Seth. It is improvised, preposterous and hysterical.

Whitney said...

Well, that was 11 minutes of me laughing really hard. Nice work, TR.

Whitney said...

First cut of the collaborative tune is called "Me So Gheorghie," by the by. And mind cannot go to that mash-up.

A stab:

Millions of words/
Well read and heard/
Some are better than others.
Topics varied in choice/
In no particular voice/
From an absurd band of brothers.

Whitney said...

Nice, Dave! Lovely.

Whitney said...

I just mistakenly clicked on an album review of a record I don’t care about by an artist I no longer can appreciate from an a publication with who I do not see eye to eye by an author I now believe to be a moron. Don’t click on The National Review’s take on Van Morrison’s newest pile. It’s politically charged musical content that serves as pied pipings to TNR’s vitriol and hate-filled take on anything, musical or otherwise. They bash Springsteen, anoint Van the Man as a prophet for his visionary take on why masks are dumb and the science is fake and the government is bad, so very bad. They also name-check Morrissey twice, which is a sad reflection of what has happened to that guy. If you like hardcore right wing politics short on factual accuracy but heavy on angry hatred thinly veiled as a music review (of all things)... go for it.

On the armchair music critic tip, I just heard an infuriating song on our local low power FM.

The arrangements were good, musicianship excellent, and the vocals were very good and earnest, with great harmonies. The song, however, was a steaming pile of guano. I figured it was a regional celtic-folk group with a large production budget. It was The Decembrists. Blech.

National Review on music is like going to Nebraska for seafood.
