Don't go so hard on yourself. That sounds pretty good. You were trying to sing a bit outside of your range in a few places, but I like it.

In the chorus? I was going for a Malkmus-like falter like on 'Range Life'. I can never decide on how to sing things really. Thanks.

yo i'm liking it man

Danny Himself 07.12.2006 03:40 PM

Thanks. I'm listening to it again. Next time I won't check.

Oh, I see what you mean. Now that I listen to it again, I can hear that. I could have sworn one of the jumps to falsetto didn't seem right, but now I can't find which one it is.

I do really like the little part before the noise where you do the fuzz for a second then go back to the riff a few times. I think that was pretty cool and original.

the Misfits did too!

TV CASUALTY

There are paint smears on everything I own
The vapor rub is lying on a table of filth
Christmas cards to which I never reply
My eyeballs absorb only blue filtered light

Tv casualty, tv casualty
Were all right
Tv casualty, tv casualty

I wish theyd put prince namor on the tube
Hold on, I think I have to puke
Theres a spot in the corner where I always go
I like to feed the flies that I know

But please dont feed my television screen
Please dont feed my television screen
Please dont feed my television screen
Please dont feed my television screen

Tv casualty, tv casualty
Were all right
Tv casualty, tv casualty

Babies in prison, they call it a womb
Nine month sentence, no parole
Slivers of steel stuck in your lungs
Breathe deep, we need a donor for blood

Jaguars at the cemetary
Cadillacs grazing at your grave
Zeniths grazing at your grave
Sonys grazing at your grave

Tv casualty, tv casualty
Were all right
Tv casualty, tv casualty
Were all right
Tv casualty, tv casualty

I fucked up every falsetto to be honest. This is the first time I've played the song w/ words. Thanks for the comments though, man. That fuzz is my blue box.

I overproduced the noise bit. Thats like 5 different guitars for about 10 seconds of noise.

Actually I think that worked out for the best, given the lyrical content. Had a sort of surreal TV-like quality to it. And it was really interesting that the noise sounded so much more refined, and then cut back to the raw take. It made everything seem very intentional.

Glad you enjoyed it, man. I'm waiting for Small White to cover it now.
