I love this–gives “Summer of ’69″ a run for its money, and I love the line, “We have a plan but no getaway car.” Also really, really like the vocals on this–and the KICKBUTT electric Youngian fade-in. (I have no music lingo, so please forgive my inept description.) What I’m saying is, it rocks.

Thx! The only “real” instrument is a nylon string guitar. Even the “electric” guitar that comes in later is really a nylon string guitar running through some effects. Everything else — bass, drums, atmospherics, etc. — is all done with Reason and Live. Yes.. I may have to “throw my back out” this month to get more done.

Nice start… reminds me of grandaddy. How much of this is done with midi drums or samples vs live guitars/keyboards/things? It sounds very cohesive regardless so maybe it doesn’t matter.. Good luck with the rest of the month.. I should probably start calling in sick to get some work done for ours…
