I then realized how much my behaviors fed this, even if subconsciously. -Glances in a restaurant to see if a girl 3 tables over looks the way I think she might/should. -My subtle behavior when she doesn't.
I've been conditioned too.
Damn you TV!
Music Notes: We have yet to mix this... at all really. Still need to add some background vox in the breakdown "as seen on tv" part prior to the guitar solo. Other than mixing... she's about done.
I'd really be interested in any feedback. This will be on our next album so feedback prior to mixing is always appreciated.
Thanks. Enjoy.
- Organ hook is infectious. I'm fond. I'd take it out of the realm of Farfisa and go for more of an overdriven B3 sound. I'd also flaunt it. It's a little hesitant. - Guitar solo should be an octave lower. Yeah, you can hit the high registers but it needs presence below. - that big empty hole prior to the solo needs a "manic street preacher"-type spoken-word piece hawking the beauty equivalent of Ginsu knives, etc, ideally through a megaphone-style slapback. - Push drums. U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" as an example - forcing time at the midbeat so that the drums have that urgent "trying to catch up" sort of feel while also being precisely on time. - No comments on mix because I'm on a laptop. The lyrics speak to the lunacy of "obeying Madison Avenue" to coin a phrase. There should be a little "stop the world I want to get off" to the production. It's definitely a song worthy of revisiting with a little more deliberation. Nice job!
The "manic street preacher" suggestion is right on the money. I've known all along that I wanted to do the "megaphone" vocal, just not sure yet what I want it to say/or how. I prefer to let something that significant occur naturally. -still waiting for that spark. I'd like to add some hand claps at some point. No need to comment on the mix... yet. After we mix and prior to final mixing, I'll post another version for your consideration, if you don't mind. I really do appreciate the feedback and encouragement, thanks again.
