"It's for You" and Who's Dumb? (video)

Do expect some pluggage on this as it's the best video I ever did and the sound mix is likely the best ever for me as well.  The synths aren't well-defined but they don't need to be as I wanted texture more than lead lines from them.

Plus I get a kick out of the story, inane as it may be.  One part that will always bug me is the good Reverend says New Orleans but no-one ever says New Orleans except the whitest of the white people.  It's Nawlins.

The reference to dumb musicians at the start may seem like a cheapshot to alienate dumb asses ... and it is ... but it's otherwise disjointed and does not appear to flow ... until you watch the video all the way through.

When you made music like this together, how is it your dumb ass is in Fort Worth.

It may not seem it but there's a reason for everything in it.

The answer to why I'm in Fort Worth is infinitely complex and is also none of yer business but the fact of the matter remains.


I've only met one other singer who was near as much fun and this may surprise you as it was Aurora Metaluna.  She sang loads of sweet stuff in Second Life but for live give her a microphone and get her singing some blues ... then start playin' or stand back, bluesman.



I'm bummed as how does the good Reverend top this one.  There's cool, improv, pseudo-jazzish Silas but that doesn't make for video drama.  "On a Grecian Morning" is one Cat likes and it's a sweet bit but there's not much room for flaming dragons.  I already made a video and I have zero footage from Greece ... but ... that jogged a memory bank.  There is some walking on a beach footage ... but that still doesn't give room for video drama.  It's not a song for sea monsters rising out of the water.  The song will be on the CD but I don't see the Next Killer Video in it.

Sister Julie's favorite is "Ice Cream Blues" but the loop for it is more awful than awful allows.  The song already has a video but I want to try some EQ on the master as the video is already cool.  I'd say it's No. 2 after "It's for You" as it's the one in which the young kid in a blues fedora morphs into me.  That one was a pretty good trick too.  This is one of the video projects that may have been wiped in the Final Cut version transition.  That would be unfortunate as it's highly appropriate to something Sasquatch could use.

That sounds like a compilation of Jams for Chicks in my Life but these songs are known good guys and 'good guy' is defined as anything for which anyone remembers the name of it.

"On the Road with a Mouse and a Chicken" is a personal favorite

oder vielleicht ist es "Auf der Straße mit ein Maus und ein Huhn" and dann ist es ein Lied für Cat.  Die Song ist mit hoch Dramatik.

(or maybe it is "Auf der Straße mit ein Maus und ein Huhn" and then it's a song for Cat.  This one is with high drama.)

Why do it in German is easy as I deny differences between nationalities quite a bit and justifiably but some are real and the reaction of a German to going on the road with a mouse and a chicken would be to ask why the mouse and the chicken.  There's no sense in that.  Germans have a wonderful sense of humor but not so much a sense of absurdity except, seemingly, for very few.  Tell an American you go on the road with a mouse and a chicken and likely that one will laugh, thinking, of course, what else would you take.

It also makes no sense to do it in German if a German is less likely to 'get it' but that makes all the more reason to do it that way.  The object isn't to do something gratuitously perverse but rather to aim for the Big Win and that's when a German has Ach, ja moment with it.


Well, nothing else but to suck it up and do a regular Sasquatch for now.  I will try to contain the fuming over Apple and GarageBand ... but ... maybe Sasquatch should do it a bit on intelligent design and, what do you know, Apple might just sneak in there.  In fact, I was thinking doing a regular Sasquatch would be a drag but that aspect amuses me just thinking about it.  I wonder what Sasquatch will say.
