To begin the rotated dog shot as the song picture trips me out. Then the song kicks in, and damn, this is the definition of smoooooth funk badass jazz. Nice, I dig this. Especially like the horn parts in there. Is that you doing the vox? I think you should bring them up in volume a bit. You should post the lyrics on your soundclick page too. Cool stuff man, this grooves it down :cool: :cool:

Thanks. yep, that's me. And I'm full of green tea. I'll post the lyrics. They're quite insane. :D
 
I like the horn parts where they are as any further up & the frailties of the sample will come out.
Apart from those it's a fresh, funky & odd little piece that's really cool.
 
I dig this. Your voice is really cool, you sound a bit like Sam Elliot. Pretty funky ditty. I always have been a sucker for spoken word over funk backing. Nice work.
 
Ah...another cool one, Mr. Banks.....you caught a smell, you say? :D

Cool music to back up a great story.... :cool:
I got most of the words, but would love to read along.

Cool tune man..I can dig it.... :D
 
Cool! I like the groove on this alot!You have a great voice...this kinda reminds me of a Zappa type narrative thing.Love this kinda stuff....cosmic!
 
Great lbanks....
nice synths
super bass tone
drums are smooth especially the cymbals - how do you record/eq those so they remain clear but not annoying?
cool guitars

Familiar yet original at the same time.....

:) :D :) :D

Lyrics.....

Late one nite,
while reading a tome of great import,
I think it was "Ten Everlovin' Blue-eyed Years of Pogo"
or someting of the sort;

My cat sudenly awoke
and became alert
I watched for awhile
for he may have been just startled
by some random piece of dirt
but, he settled down
and soon started to snore
and I relaxed to read some more

But after a bit,
Icaught a smell that wasn't right,
I thought it smell a bit of... cordite
so I reached for my weapon,
which I keep on the right
but, the gun wasn't there
and I saw a hell of a sight
a small man, about 3 foot 2
wearing an expensive suit, dark blue

I started to worry
for he had a big gun
and where he was standing
mine should be, so I had none
Then he said, "Calm down, you're not a bird"
"But you could be", he giggled
and I thought "What a turd."

Then he said "Watch yourself, citizen,"
"Danger's all around!
but, we're trying to keep tabs
on all that's going down.
So read your silly book,I've seen all I need to see"

"Your behavior is questionable,
but, not a danger to me"
"Just be aware and have care or three,
You never know what could be."

He then faded
but I could swear I knew his face,
I either seen him on the News,
or maybe, Myspace...

Whichever, I knew this shouldn't, couldn't have flashed.
My reality had just became trash.
and the only thing I could think of is,,,
That's kinda fucked up.
 
Dude, no critique, just giving kudos.

Pretty cool. Nice music playing and nice vox. Just suberb job playing all instruments and singing/narrating. :) Very nice. The mix sounds very nice and balance on my system here. :)

Damn dude...this was fun again.... :D

What else can I say? Keep on doing this man.... :D :D :D
 
What a voice. You don't need the delay.

The last line is hilarious.

Tim
 
I agree with Variax...This has a Zappa thing going on. And, like Tim. I say you don't need the delay...Though adding delay more and more as the song goes on could give it a "getting deeper into a dream" type feel. You got a killer voice, man. You can do radio.
Got nothing but praise for this tune. Alot of the cool things about it, like the horns, are cool because you fought the temptation to make them loud. Subtlety. Beautiful.
 
Great stuff Larry. Funny lyrics, cool delivery, I really enjoyed this one
 
I guess I use the delay to hide behind. (not an easy task) Thanks for listens and comments!
