Yes, Dope

This is a little ditty I worked up in Logic, as a sort of self-guided tutorial to building loops, aliases, aligning things to a tempo, and adding & quantizing midi notes. The drums are samples grabbed from an unfinished recording session from the late 80's (played by Dennis Bruhn), and the vocals are snippets from a song by The Whores a long-since broken up post-punk band of mine from the eighties, called Girls on Dope. I have no idea what genre to tag this with.

I like this too. It's unapologetic. I'm no dope head but I think this song explains the difference between waiting for dope, and having dope.

Great analogy. I just built the thing collage-style, so I had no real intention when I started, but that may be why it works. Thanks!

Flagged as dope.

I stopped by to listen to this again. Do I still like it? YES.
I wasn't going to comment again but that final YES just got to me.
