Hospital - Recorded in the car. S - Acoustic guitar, Vocals. Abbey road vinyl used on full mix which is a vinyl emulator.
The original lyrics were, 'Better Judy then it used to be'. Which makes absolutely no sense. That had to be changed.
Brandon - Recorded in the closet. S, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Vocals. My favorite bass track ever. One vocal part recorded 2020
Bass is probably too loud.
Fuck Namsate - Recorded in the car, Recorded in the closet.
S - Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Vocals, Tambourine. No compression used on bass.
Virginia Is For Losers - S - Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Vocals, Drums. Stereo drums recorded 2020
Hospital Melody
March Sadness - Recorded 2018. S - Acoustic guitar, vocals. Not my favorite song. Oh well.
Atheism In The UK - Recorded in the closet. S - Acoustic guitar, vocals.
Original title 'British royal airport'. Other version with different effects for vocals called, 'Black Cross'.
Vocals maybe a little too loud. Short song about nothing. I hope Penn Jillette hears this.
I Was In The War - Recorded 2018. Drums recorded 2020. S - Guitar, bass, vocals, drums. Adderall and caffeine. Ok, not the best guitar tone, vocals maybe a little too low.
Circus Lips - S, Piano, drums, fake bass. Written in 2018. Recorded in 2020. Had to make the album. Such an important song. The last to be recorded. I wanted Randy to play bass on this song, but it did not work. Piano recorded at his studio (in the piano room) alone. Altho someone else was in the control room.
In The Hospital - This was literally recorded in a 'hospital'. Hence the title, in the hospital? Ah-em. Back when the world was 'normal' you could have strolled the hospital at random and no one would have thought the less of you. Now, during this weird times, you have to get 'approval'. I never made it past the 'gatekeepers'. I wanted to record the chapel. The organ is as if its coming from the chapel.
77 - On playback of the recording of 'in the hospital' there's a weird whispering female who 'distinctly' can be heard twice. The first time she says, 'seventy-seven'. Why is she saying, '77'. Is there something in room 77? I don't know if this was someone in the area or a voice from 'beyond'. She appears a second time which is included in the extra tracks, but i'm not exactly sure what's she's saying, so I just wrote something that sounded close. Whoever she is/was is creepy.
Tina - S, Guitars, bass. Recorded 2018. Drums recorded 2020. This song is about my former massage therapist. Note also, the hidden track on Dr Ryzulnyk: Tina's stomach. The original idea was to have a death metal growling chorus that went 'tinnaaaaaaa'. But just didn't seem to be work, also growling could not be achieved. This has a bunch of guitar blemishes. The guitar tone is raw. I'm not really a bass player either, can you tell? Sorry about that. I tried.
Alien Song - S, Guitar, bass, drums, nut shaker thinger mabobber, egg shaker, sticks, fake cowbell, Cajon bass. Written in 2018, recorded in 2020. Just a jam, man. Abbey road vinyl plugin used on full mix.
Chai Masters - S, Guitars, all instruments. Me and Charles one time were at the same restaurant for our local food delivery company picking up orders. We both were served chai. My favorite song I have ever done.
EXTRA SHIT
Wet Nurse Dream - This is the most disturbing and unsettling thing I have ever put together and I wish it didn't exist. Ugh. Trust me on this, don't even listen to this. There's a few different mixes I made of this, including one over 2 minutes. UGH. No thanks. THIS mix is even too long. This version contains the end weirdness from 'Fuck Namsate' looped plus an unused sfx thing from that same song and also the two hidden voices/gobbledygook (yeah, that's right) reimagined from, 'Atheism in the UK'.
Richard Coronial - Just 'Richard Coronial'. Altho I think Donna meant to say, 'Richard Cranium. Oh well. Get it?!
Ain't Gonna Sleep On The Subway - Here's another looped part from the audio part of 'In the hospital'. The is the second time you hear this voice. The first on '77'. I have no what this person is saying, but it sure is weird.
Quack Like A Duck - Ok, another spotlight on an unusual moment from 'In the hospital'. Yes it is on the original audio in the song.
LYRICS
Outside The Hospital
You know I'm right outside the hospital. The trees are in full bloom again. What are those called again? You know I'm right outside the hospital. It's definitely better then it used to be. I was knee deep.
Brandon The Terrible
Someone get this little kid away from me. This is an office and I'm trying to relax. Every time I'm here, so is this little shit. This isn't bring your kids to work day. So tell the bitch to get a babysitter.
Even she can't stand him, he's wandering all over the place. So he just gets to do whatever he wants and no one's even watching him? It ain't cute, funny or nothing and if you do not remove him off of me, I'm gonna fuck him up. Someone's cruising for a bruising, but there's nothing with you, my love. Why doesn't someone get up off their ass?
Fuck Namsate
Everything is about to change. They think everything's going to stay the same, we're so unhappy. This is not the kind of thing you do for too long. One guy's had the courage to get out and I'm left holding the sippy cup.
Why has everything all of the sudden changed? I'm being ostracized like an ostrich, I was left in charge. I never wanted this, this is not living large. I'm feeling like a criminal like Fiona Apple.
Virginia Is For Losers
I really like your lizard, he reminds me of Jim Morrison. Don't forget I know where you live. So don't fuck around.
Everything went sour, cause we can't act like adults. So maybe I shouldn't live in adult world.
Maybe I shouldn't know the people that I know.
March Sadness
You know you're late for class, I'm just sitting here all by myself. I'm gonna play guitar. And steal some stuff.
I'm gonna play guitar and steal some dynamic mics.
Spring sadness is here again. You know that I'm waiting for the call. The call that will never come. Maybe everything is not about to change?
I'm just sitting here and I'm gonna steal some dynamic mics.
Atheism In The UK
Gonna go out and flip the lever, you know I'm sitting here watching Penn & Teller. Got to be masked but I'd rather be clasped, all the monkeys in a row gonna get a wet dream.
I feel you out like a scenario then place a glove for conspiracy-o. I've got you in a headlock, checkmate like nicole, its over like a peach pits, see thru, nice to meet you.
I was In The War
I was in the war, I like army food, stomping in my boots with other dudes. I keep letters in my hat, it's getting dark, got to set up
camp. The real monsters come out in the day, getting lost in the forest would be nice, but on any other day. On a mission, so I paint my face.
Loud explosions set the grounds when I undergo future psychological testing. Then I can collect my free money from the government. So,
that's nice. I got that going for me. I hear something rustling in the foreground. Is it a gopher? Is it a sniper? No, it's only John, what a dope.
