Pierre, I Want a New Drug, Missile Command
Sunday, January 22, 2006
This week's in-stu-llment is actually 0 % stool, but that doesn't mean I can't make up a word.
Pierre has been posted before, but the version that's up is from 2 years ago, and it's too slow and quiet. This version is from the height of our arrogance and stupidity, so it's much better. It's still about a skunk, though, and it starts with paradise city, and then sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band. for more on this trend, see last week's post.
I Want a New Drug sort of speaks for itself. It's hard to figure out why we covered it. It might have been because it's about drugs. It might have been because Huey Lewis went to Cornell. It might have been because we planned on using Jonas's trumpet again. And it's possible, if you go and listen to it, that I thought it would be a good idea to play it in my other band, the North American Funk Factory, but that the suggestion didn't go over. I like that explanation -- it would mean that i was simultaneously a hippie and a spiteful jerk, a lethal combo. Whatever the reason, it actually comes off pretty well, i think.
Finally, Missile Command was recorded a year out of school, and it's a pretty amazing thing. Life on the outside wasn't kind to us, and the result is Randy's interlude about the Gabraham Buttrot Lincoln Association. If this is your first time visiting stupidwish.net, you might want to wait on this, because it barely makes any sense to me, and i was there. Backing oys by my brother Mike and Kevin Cook, I think.
