Trying to mix some funky lounge with stoner rock. Only verse chorus so far, needs a bridge, some weedles (aka a solo) and a little work on the trasition into rock. The transition out works fine imo but; I'd like to hear from yall if you think this merge is workable?
I played everything on this one just to relay the idea, when the band tracks it I'm sure the drums will be much cooler.
Is called "First of 2010" atm. In my profile under the "songs I played everything on" collection.

Jan 22, 2010 05:30 pm Hmmm, wtf? Ok, uploaded again and is there now.
Jan 22, 2010 06:27 pm Kay its viewable now. Nice! i really like it. I think your transitions are flawless really. A good sound. I like how after a few beats on that chord you remind us of the softer melody there. Really, nice work. A really clean sound too. Is that pod farm or are you micing?
Jan 22, 2010 07:27 pm I too think it transitions well. It didn't set me back, or make me think ???. and i like the funky swing feel. The bass progressions had me kinda unsettled in parts, but others were good.
The intro sounded kinda loose too, maybe it's supposed to?
Definately a good platform.
Jan 22, 2010 08:25 pm Sounds like a good idea. I don't see any problems at all with the transitions on a casual listen. I think this is perfect music for san diego or santa cruz or someplace beachy and warm. Don't know how you came up with it in Alaska
Jan 22, 2010 08:35 pm very cool man. i have a suggestion if you wanna hear it?
Just on the structure.
Jan 24, 2010 01:02 am Indeed I do... lay it on me.
Glad to hear it's workable, it really was a "i have an idea" moment but I think it may have a future.
Oh yeah, podfarm all the way on guitars and bass.
On the bass being unsettling, are you talking about the heavy chorus part? It does go into a darker theme for sure, I was trying to not only switch genre but also moods. Like a two sided story I guess. But if just in general, I pretty much just noodled around so I'm sure there are some "weaker" spots.
On the loose beginning, not sure really. I am not the tighest drummer\bassist really or do you just mean overall it's kind of loose. If overall then yeah I guess I meant it that way.
Jan 27, 2010 03:18 pm Alrighty, still waiting on those suggestions ;)
Jan 27, 2010 03:52 pm I'll listen close again later, and see if I can 'sharpen my pencil' so to speak.
Jan 27, 2010 10:36 pm i was gonna suggest from 2:27 on, just running the 4/4 beat right thru till the end with no break and no half time beats keeping the distorted guitars doing all the riffs (no clean)
and then at the end finishing with what you have there curently.
Jan 28, 2010 02:17 pm Ok, so basically on that last chorus... just rock straight through without the slowdowns/breaks/cleans until the outro?
I can see that.
On the cleans during the breaks, they were pretty much me being lazy. I played the whole song clean then went and added heavy parts. I should have cut those cleans out completely and just played the breaks dirty but not as hard. In the final version (chick already has lyrics!!!) I'm sure much will change.
Thanks though, appreciate the tip.
