I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

You'll have to ask Nivek for permission on that one.

Most of the posts in that thread, I hope.


oh, by the way:



ATTENTION!

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO RECORD THEMSELVES READING ANY OF THE POSTS IN THAT THREAD CAN SEND THEM TO ME.

ADDITIONALLY, ANYONE WHO WANTS TO WRITE MUSIC TO GO UNDERNEATH THE WORDS, CAN SEND IT TO ME.

HOWEVER, I WILL BE THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER.

I think this is genius.

Only two comments:

1.  In my second track, the music drowns out the text a bit.  The music itself is perfect, IMO, but its a little overwhelming in volume when compared to the spoken part.

2.  A little too much reverb/backing up, same track (don't worry too much about this one).

Other than that, it's amazing, start to finish.

Yeah, I agree that the vox need to come up a bit.

Oh, by the way, you mentioned "dememnted country song," and I got inspired.


Written in the style/manner of "Be Careful of Stones that You Throw" by Hank Sr.

The last one to know
Is the first one to go
And it's a hell of a mountain to climb
So believe when I say
That I ain't gonna stay
And get caught in the web one more time

After a week with no sleep
Neither whiskey nor countin' sheep
I complained to the doc 'bout my ills
He said nothing's wrong
It was stress all along
And he gave me a handful of pills

Then from under his coat
More legs started to grow
And then out his mouth grew some fangs
He said, "You'll soon be content
And only worry 'bout the rent"
And he told me "there's no need for thanks"

Chorus:
Oh, the Spiders are carefully waiting
For the day that your life falls apart
You may think that there's nothing worth saving
And for them, that's the best place to start

So now I go through my day
Work my job, get my pay
It seems like I'm walking through a dream
The Spider wrapped me up tight
But I gave in without a fight
Though sometimes I can't help but scream.

The last one to know
Is the first one to go
And it's a hell of a mountain to climb
So believe when I say
That I ain't gonna stay
And get caught in the web one more time





Yeah, that might be making it on there.

Also, Richter's piece makes me think of a filthy hipster with a soul patch, tight jeans, and a maroon leather blazer.

It works, though, it fits in a way that I can't properly explain.

Tips:

Drink cheap whiskey.
Have Mrs LMNO pick a fight with you.
Smoke really bad cigars.

That, and the tone of the voiceover taken together, I think.  It works, though.

Listenign to it, I liked it.  The background music worked nicely with it, and the tone and pacing was different than my inner monologue, startlingly so. 
Then mental image of the hipster, the heavy rimmed glasses, cabbie hat, and gauged out vegan horn earings set in.  I was weird for a little while, and may have stipped naked to don a plain tunic and preach out the window.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Such are the perils when giving your words to another.



That much said, if you are willing to record your words the way you personally hear them, I can use that if you send it my way.

That's okay, I'm giving the multi-colored part to Richter, if he can get a working cam.   :lulz:

I knew what I was getting into.  Whatever I think, it's still having the desired result. :lulz:

Oh, you also have the "all you need" piece, but I'm already working on that one.
