Caption that clip.
It’s actually 5 American terrorism suspects in Pakistan, but one could also imagine it as:
- Shuttle service from taping of the Joy Behar Show.
- The Tournament of Roses Parade Jack Bauer float.
You get the idea.

Check these possible levels artist support options for Linda Thompson. I wonder they meant “Champaign Socialist” or “Champagne Socialist.” One is countryside and the other gets you drunk — I think.
The ultimate, of course, is pay her $100,000 and she won’t make a CD at all. Brilliant! I’ve not heard her, but I already like her.
UPDATE 2-2-2010: Up to the seventh mix now, and I sure hope it’s the last. Sure wish I had the Waves plugins.
The sketch I’ve been working on is now a song, and here’s the third mix of it, free.
In case you’re not a twitter follower and didn’t catch the excerpt to determine if you want it, here’s a sample of the song from mix 2.
Here’s the whole song.
Tumbleweeds Free Mix3 (5.4 MiB, 26 hits)
Wait, I remixed. Try this one./
Tumbleweeds 5 (5.4 MiB, 33 hits)
And here are the lyrics:
Tumbleweeds/Riding on that breeze/Tumbleweeds/Got me on my knees
Got me a girl, and she’s just too fine/One day I know that I’ll come home to find/(nothing but) tumbleweeds/Riding on that breeze
Went to a psychic with a crystal ball/She rubbed that thing, and you know what she saw/Tumbleweeds/I’m on my dusty knees
It’s time to move on/time to ride that breeze/with those tumbleweeds
There’s a cold wind blowin’/blowin’ through the factories/a chill wind blowin’/from Seattle to the Keys
Sent some saviors up to DC/Looked inside their heads where the common sense should be/and I saw tumbleweeds/it’s got me on my dusty knees
It’s time to move on/time to ride that breeze/with those tumbleweeds
I do love Paste magazine. I should probably pay them money and subscribe — if they’re into that kind of thing.
Anyway, here’s a cool interview in PASTE with a guy from DEVO.
Note the last section of the article. A record sells 30,000 copies, but it’s licensed for $5 million.
I still don’t know what the lyrics will be for this thing,but I think this will work for the lead-outro. Suggestions welcome. I was thinking of making it about Nuevo Laredo, but to make it genuine I’d have to actually go there, and I don’t want that.
UPDATE 1-27
Made some progress on the riff-based track, though the bass still needs fixing here and there. Thinking of dropping out a guitar at the tail for a lead outro. Lyrics TBD…I wonder if Rome is burning. No I don’t. it is. Anyway, here’s the latest.
For the truly curious recording types, this was played on a Godin Exit 22 through a Vox VT30, headphone out to 1/4 inch ins of a Focusrite Saffire. Bass is from a Roland VG-99.
Thought I’d explore something if the riff-based, old school genre, and I think I’ll press ahead from this. Yeah, it started after watching a vid of a ZZ Top rehearsal. Just two guitars, bass and a monotonous drum loop now, but I think with some work it could move.

Here’s a fantastic video of the mighty Sony Landreth. You can really observe his technique. Or just enjoy great slide-based music.
