Post-punk Tacos
UPDATE: THIS SONG IS GONE DUE TO SPACE. REST ASSURED THAT IT WAS SUPER-COOL.
Since I still have nothing interesting to post, I shall post again a song some more. But the last couple of songs were silly. This one is merely stupid. (mwa ha ha--) Nice thing about having a couple of microphones and a mixer always set up to record, is you can shower instant time and attention on those random ideas that should be merely passing whims that are forgotten. But with instant recording access, I could be getting ready to run an errand, and suddenly think of two lines about science making it possible to eat tacos found on the sidewalk (is it impossible now? I don't know, I don't often find tacos on the sidewalk. But I dream everynight.) Two minutes later I've programmed a simple drum beat and I'm laying down a bassline. Before you know it--WHASHAM!--a song is born that might have been better off not being given the time it took to make. But that makes it better, doesn't it? And it sounds pretty good. Recording rocking sounds is harder than acoustic stuff, for sure. But this came out all right.
SO. Science and technology will revive street tacos. The natural vehicle for this harrowing tale is a burst of post-punk guitar pop, right? Oh, I am sorry.

Um, I posted the lyrics in the comments, if you want to sing along. Geez. Suckers.

Lyrics:
"I found tacos on the ground. I picked them up and ate them. Yeah the future is now.
I'm staring up at that grey wall of science. With this new technology when we find tacos on the street we can revive them."

Yeah! My cheap acoustic bass guitar sounds pretty good, don't she? All bassy and loose, just like I like 'em.
And I threw live real hi-hat sounds over the hammerhead drums to make things sound more real. And Timmy the rock-sprite sprinkled some crunchy riff-dust upon my mixing board, and made my sloppy, angular lead lines work, somehow. Oh Timmy the Rock Sprite, I thank you. May your fuzzy hat headbang forever.

I just bought an Ipod Shuffle, and I swear this taco song will be the first song to be uploaded into it. It's so wonderful to mine ears.
hey, that's a flash drive, like my amazing flash drive! i was reading the other day about how usb devices work. i still don't understand. how much space has it got?
