	. thanks Feter this is a kind of silly little song - i especially enjoyed making up the lyrics!

	. that JM vocal thing seems to slip out once in a while. wish i could claim it was entirely on purpose. i was mostly going after Iron Butterfly's take on the "LA sound" of the day. thanks

	ahhh hence the drum break?

	SmokeyVW said 255 days ago
	. thank you very much! i guess my neurons got programmed by the music from those days, and it's just in there no matter what i do. so it's really fun to intentionally explore that realm once again...

	SmokeyVW said 255 days ago
	this was a fun lark - i couldn't resist the urge thanks!

	SmokeyVW said 255 days ago
	thanks bro - i was laughing a lot while making this one... too much fun

	SmokeyVW said 255 days ago
	thanks this was actually that dry sense of humor with a little too much reverb on it

	SmokeyVW said 255 days ago
	i'll let you have my autograph. got some papers? got a pen? what did you want me to write? uh, where's my hand? thanks!

well, let's see. the keyboards are mostly loops out of GB, slightly modified. the drums are me banging on the keyboard. the guitar is a loop. the fuzz guitar is a loop, but modified for that big sweep at the end. the vocals are me sitting in my car listening to a mix on my iPod nano and singing into a m-audio micro-track. a little lime seltzer with vodka, and too much time on my hands. that wraps it up. thanks! :-)

	gads! it IS Morrison Butterfly -- what have i done? thanks! as one cat to another: if i had two dead rats, i'd give one to you. :-)

	. it was either this or Flowers and Beads... ever notice how "we're livin la vida loca" is sorta like "in-a-gadda-da-vida" spelled sideways? no? hmmm... must be flashback or something thank you sir

	SmokeyVW said 254 days ago
	. really, it was supposed to be a spoof. "the lie lacks truth" and all that... thanks!

whoa - you're exactly right: this song and "Peace Will Prevail" are like night and day (pun and all). i had not consciously considered that. this mix has little high-end except at the end. that's probably the evening "heavy air" impression. and the moaning vocal, droning organ, and luded-out drums only contribute to that impression i suppose. hindsight is 20/20. i fully intended to convey a sense of dusk and darkness in this song. yeah, that's the ticket. ;-) thanks Rik and pfffffft to Dr Lioli if he reads this.

	was that YOU standing over there? man, we thought you were a narc or something. you should have dropped in. there was plenty to pass around, and room to crash. thanks
