The Dust
c.' 12 The Friday Project

Ya try and take me, yer gonna have a
problem
Just wait and see, how yer momma's left
maudlin
And yer potential kids, will never be
Yer gonna have a problem, just wait and see
Ya mess with me, things won't go yer way
I'm tryna do you a favor son, save yer day
Cause you won't live the night if you try and
be
Any more of a problem, messin' with me.

CH: When the dust settles, ya can't say much
When the dust settles
Yer left with dust
No, ashes to ashes, don't say much
And when the dust settles
Yer left with dust

She ain't worth it son, just take a good look
She ain't the kinda woman, gots what it took
To keep you outta trouble, cause that's
where you'll be
And you gotta big problem messin with me
CH

I'm gonna lay my gun down, so you ain't feel
bad
And yer gonna turn and walk away,or yer
mama'll be sad
She don't need to know the why, just you let
it be
Cause you ain't gonna survive, messin' with
me

For Ian, RIP
c. '12 The Friday Project

Rock and roll and sex
go together
Like umbrellas and
rainy weather
Rock and roll and sex are
indivisible
Even when yer next
lover's invisible

CH: I don't know where it's comin' from
I just know I gotta get me some

Rock and roll and drugs
go together
Like teenage girls a-mumblin'
"whatever"
Rock and roll and drugs
seem inevitable
But even when yer straight
It can be incredible
CH: I don't know where it's comin' from
I just know I gotta get me some

Rock and roll and Russia
seems a little strange
Rock and roll and Prussia
is derranged
Rock and roll and the States
is where it all began
Rock and roll mebbe got better tho'
Comin' outta England
CH: I don't care where it's comin' from
I just know I gotta get me some
Get me some, get me some
I just know I gotta get me some

Ad lib:
Rock and roll and sex
Rock and roll and drugs
I just know I gotta get me some

CH: I don't care where it's comin' from
I just know I gotta get me some
Get me some, get me some
I just know I gotta get me some

Not Like (You Used to Be)
c. '12 The Friday Project

Well it's not like I got anything important to
say to you,
And it's not like I got anything new
And it's not like I got anything you ain't
heard before
And it's not like I got anything more
CH Well yer not like ya used to be
But won't ya come back to me?
Well it's not like you never wanted to go
And it's not like you never ever let me know
And it's not like you never warned me
before
Well it's not like you never walked out the
door
CH Well yer not like ya used to be
But won't ya come back to me?
Well it's not like we haven't said alla this
And it's not like we haven't said that we
missed
And it's not like we haven't said this before
No it's not like we haven't said this before
CH Well yer not like ya used to be
Well yer not like ya used to be
But won't ya come back to me?

So it's not like we always said we would
have
And it's not like we always said we could
have
And it's not like we haven't said this before
Well it's not like we haven't said this before

Painted on the Walls
c. 'The Friday Project

Follow the leader, follow him down, follow
him down, to where he's goin'
Follow the leader, you'll be a bleeder, he
ain't know, what he's doin'
////
Follow the leader, follow him down,
down
--
There ain't no way to say that
there ain't no way to be what
Get back get fat turn around Kerouac
There' ain't the way to say what gots to be
said
To keep the young men's from ending dead
in the head at the bed of the place where the
blood dries red and it's painted on the walls

Vuv-- I'd [i]like[i/] to be able to listen to some of your songs and comment accordingly; I really would. Here's the problem (one of many): At the studio, we don't have any Internet. At home, I've got an interminably sloooooow computer that is not conducive to streaming or downloads. At school (day-gig), all streaming is blocked. Finally, on my iPod Touch ("Help me, Obi Wan Steve Jobs; you're my only hope!"), my last bastion of Internet music/media goodness, I for some reason [i]cannot[i/] access any files from your Soundclick page, no matter what I try...

Is there a more mobile-friendly site that you can post to?

GJ

[vvv]

Hmm.

How about bandcamp?

The link has collections of tunes - kinda "albums" - what are not current, but about 6 months and older, from my local band, The Friday Project.

Here is stuff from The Hungry Drunx with TOMB's Snarl on drums.

Thanx for the interest!

(Or ya could PM me a mailing addy, I'll send ya CD stuff ...)

My Synesthesia
c. 12 The Friday Project

I'm on the Tannoys
and I'm guaranteed to annoy
alla my kids
Cuz I'm playin' stuff over and over and over
like I'm on acid

CH: See the pretty colors there,
See the pretty colors everywhere,
My synesthesia ain't real
It's more about the way ya feel
Do ya hear the pretty colors 3x
Now?

The kick drum is purple
Pushes up against my head
It and the bass take up the space
Of all the blues and reds
Guitars is green, yellow and in between
leaves the vocals blue
'Specially when I'm singin' 'bout you
CH

I'm on the Tannoys
Annoyin' both the girls and boys
Cuz I'm playin' stuff over and over and over
like I'm on acid

In answer to some questions re the "My Synesthesia":

The drums are actually put together from some loops I made, recorded a cuppla months ago.  A particular problem was the ringing of the snare, what I gated best I could.  The overheads were small diaphragm condensers (Studio Project C5's) and the snare a Beta 58, but I think the problem was krister's new snare drum, what wasn't properly tuned.  I actually spent about 2 hours building that drum track, then hadda re-do it in the 3rd hour to further address that ringing, and it still sounds "garagey".

That middle-end vocal effect was done by taking three tracks of "aaaH' and pitch-bending 'em down at the end.  I then cloned those three tracks, delayed 'em a quarter second and panned 'em opposite and brought 'em up under with a cathedral reverb on just the clones (the original 3 have their original effects; slap-back in the middle, plates on the sides). The very end vocal was just run thru a cuppla distortion patches.

Bass: BadRicky-The Brick-dbx160XT = Groove Tubes "The Brick" pre into a dbx compressor

LdVoc: MD421II-1589B-1176 = Sennheiser MD421N mic (vintage) into an Altec pre (vintage) and a clone of a vintage Universal Audio compressor.

L BV: AKG D310-1589B-1176 = left backing vocal is a vintage AKG mic in the above chain

Rt BV: EVnd257B-1589B-1176 = right BV is an Electrovoice mic (like the one I did a thread on cleaning, altho' this one is an "B" version, not "A")

RthmGtrs: SG-Vox-MXL144Rbn-ISA1 = that black Gibson you like into a Pathdfinder into a MXL ribbon mic (modded) into a Focusrite pre

Ld Gtrs: F100-ProJr-RE3320-UA710-A = a G&L into a small Fender into a Electrovoice RE320 (the latest version of the RE20) into a Universal Audio pre (the "-A" is a typo)
