Growing up in the 70's, there were some great tv show theme songs, Sanford and Sons, Barney Miller, Good Times etc. With that in mind I decided to try and record something in that vibe, and came up with this, "The Aqakuktuq Show", a theme song for an imaginary 70's cop show about a down on his luck Eskimo private investigator who moves south to the Mississippi bayou in search of more exciting cases. All guitars are a Gibson firebird studio, bass is a Rickenbacker 4001, everything tracked thru a Pod go. Drums are loops I sliced and diced and arranged from Beta Monkee Funk rock collection.
 
Very nice. I imagined I was watching the opening and closing credits. The wah fits the era. The tune was not overly busy, it's straight to the point - like a tv theme, and that last block hit with verb nailed it.
