Boy, how does this go 10 hours sans comment with a thread title like that?
Anyway, a fine mix from what I can tell. Maybe not lavish like your last one, but certainly an ambitious performance. The lyrics are funny and the vocals performances are great.
I can't imagine what your influences are from hearing your stuff, but I'm guessing they are numerous and varied.
I mean, it's an odd tune for sure and probably not for everyone, but entertaining and well captured nonetheless.
Only thing maybe is the piano - not sure how that was captured but the sound itself is perhaps a bit small although it appears to panned unusually wide. I dunno - just something I noticed - nice mix though.

Thanks, Mr. Miser!
Yeah, I probably scared off folks with the thread title, although it is about as accurate as they come.
My influences, as I see them in this song are: Kurt Weill, Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein. Others have noted XTC and Frank Zappa, two of my favorite groups/artists.
This forum is usually harsher on my material than other forums, so I'm curious as to what they think of this rather minimalist mix.
Piano is a Roland RD-300X recorded direct through a Demeter stereo DI. The panning is done in the piano, with bass notes hard L and treble R. I could decrease the spread, but the inherent stereo-osity is from the box.

Very nice song - great mix. "Oh Squirmy" - love it! I got a kind of "Andy Partridge lead vocal with a Queen backing vocal" vibe. Wasn't as keen on the section starting with the drums at 2:03 - not as original as the rest of the song. Top marks for originality on the song as a whole.

It does have a sense of the musichall sections of Sgt Pepper run through Flo & Eddie. The closer harmony sections are very cabaret.
The change is VERY XTC mid period isn't it! Both in the vocal tone & the melody.
I like the mix very much - the bass has a great tone & the piano spread is the way it should be really.
Some parts of the song/arrangement do the kitch routine a bit too well - for yucks I suppose. I get a visual image of the woman & dog from Black Hole the Sun for some reason.
Good work all round, & as I said, the mix is terrific.
Please post more.
