Comrades!

This one's about community- mostly about survival by peaceful cooperation. I know, I'm an idealist!

"Work to build upon the land

Where honest people lend a hand

And fight for all the rights they can,

Like believing, in malcontent

As it is, I think I've found

Those people in the underground

Drive the hardest deals around

And it causes, malcontent

of world events.

Memories of accidents

Are all that I have of the end (of a friend(s?))

I wouldn't be the man I am,

If it wasn't for those events

And some malcontent

Truth is who holds the pen

In which we write it in."


Yeah, that last part makes absolutely no sense.

Yeah! That's some great fuzz. The vox remind me a little of Meat Puppets.

I would have gone to see you play live in 1988. (I assume you would be on a bill with the Bedlam Rovers.)

Just goes to show how old-fashioned I am - I was going to say "there's a good track in here but you need to turn that fuzz down a bit". Ha! I would like to hear this without that though (or with it kept more down in the mix), I think it tends to mask some of the other nice stuff that going on in the back of this. Trouble with using fuzz in this upfront Jesus & Mary Chain way is that it uses up a hell of a lot of headroom in the mix - kind of spills all over everything - and also causes a kind of subliminal aural stress that actually makes it tiring to listen to over an exended period. That's not a criticism of your track by the way - just a general observation about the uses and abuses of distortion. Christ, I sound like some old duffer shaking my walking stick at you young varmints.........
