This is the second song posted from the album Bitzone, Stricknice, Wou-Wou & the Wormling, and I have been working on together with a number of other friends on SoundCloud. The first song shared was the late 80s indie American underground inspired song, Ghosting Out, that include Bonetender joining with his transistor organ and guitar. The Show / The Shrike Pt. 3 is one of the 4 songs on the album inspired by Wou-Wou & the Wormling’s graphic novel, the Shrike, which inspired this project. 

Massive thanks to Carlos Vivanco and Belial Pelegrim for joining us on this track. This is the 2nd song Belial has joined me on and the first song I have had the privilege of working with Carlos on. It is amazing to have them both on the same track together. I feel so lucky to get to work with all my favorite musicians.

Lyrics:
Slowly the room will fill with smoke 
Mirrors help occupy the hoax 
Laughing when no one gets the joke
Millions waiting for the quote
Tell me what would you do for fame
How do you plan to win the game
Can you fit in the mould they make
If I asked would you scream my name
For the show

Simon says I will take the lead
Stick with me and you will succeed 
Come and get it come and chase this dream
All you need is a sob story
Like a moth to a flame so bright
Your a slave to the stark spotlight
Cheshire cat with her teeth so white
Tune in and see it all tonight
In the show

In the show

Later that evening as smoke from the chimney was pelted by the rain
Slain and dismembered my head fully severed and mounted and displayed 
It’s hard to explain I’m awake with no pain and hallowed out in the brain
I wouldn’t complain, a life that’s mundane, is all I could hope to attain
except i was detained by bird with a man and this is what he was saying  

Are you having me on?

In the show

You are out all day and this sorry excuse is all that you bring back?
This second rate stag you decided to bag isn’t worthy of a plaque 
Did I make my self clear I can’t tell from your sneer are we still on same track
Our collection is nearly complete I conceit but there is only one thing that we lack

One human head 
One human head
Don’t disappoint me now
In the show
You’re a freak, an animal and most importantly a killer
You’re a freak, an animal and most importantly a killer
A killer
A killer
A killer

The Show / The Shrike Pt. 3

Carlos Vivanco, Belial Pelegrim, Stricknice, Bitzone, Wou-Wou & Couch - The Show / The Shrike Pt. 3

I've been away for a while.  Restaurant business has been very demanding lately.   Thought I'd come back with a remix of one of my absolute favorites of the old school blues men, Bukka White.  He recorded this track back in the 30's!  Amazing that something recorded so long ago still moves me in this day and age.  Bukka had this very percussive, tribal way of playing that was incomparable, and the timbre of his voice conveyed so much emotion.  Still gives me goosebumps every time I hear him.  Hope I've honored his legacy with my remix, and I hope you enjoy it.  I'll be visiting your pages soon to hear what you've all been up to.  Cheers, Joe

Hello, Little Libby

They Play Go

written and recorded 2014 by andrew salvner (aka pretzels malone)

the track art is the torn up backside of one of my favorite basement chairs.  my cat verbal (who ain't here no more) would go to town on my basement furniture.  we had a deal, and for his part, he did a good job of leaving our upstairs stuff relatively unharmed.  the chair from the pic is honestly not all that comfy, but i miss my buddy...and when i sit there i like to pretend that he's behind me going to town keeping his shit sharp.

the song has nothing to do with my cat.  i wrote it for a friend.

them words:
you gotta be stronger than your heart.  because he swears to you that he cares for you, but he's tearing you apart.

bonus stuff:  (who hoo...bonus!!)

there is another very different version of this song.  the music is much faster and completely backwards.  and the vocals are completely different.  i made a video if you want to watch :)

the acoustic guitar and bass lines were recorded on 4-track cassette.  i moved the tracks over individually to my laptop using audacity.  i did a ton of editing.  i then added the vocals and beatbox straight to audacity (using the 4-track as a vocal amp).

the first half of my pretzels page is pure 4-track recordings.  recently most of my recordings are much more like this.  some kind of weird in-breed of cassette and free downloaded multi tracker.

that's all.  i hope you feel bonus'd.  :D

tearing you apart

It Ain't Me Babe - Bob Dylan Cover

Secret Caves LoveSongs edition: Carrie, Simon, Joe, Caligula Jr

the night tide creatures
want your love
come see about 
the most beautiful girl
on the gallows
she’ll stroke your stitches
it’s never enough
so come ride 
the white lightning 
whip her shape shift
through the narrows

night tide creatures
hold my hand
oh! the chemical preachers
man bold double features
on shifting sand
night tide creatures
let me go
all the spidery teachers
with sickly stained features
spray “on with the show”

and you can 
flash that revolver, come on
and you can swear 
your broke heart
to the river
well she was here last night, yes
now she’s gone
the most beautiful girl
on the gallows
the most beautiful girl
on the gallows

night tide creatures
hold my hand
oh! the chemical preachers
man bold double features
on shifting sand
night tide creatures
let me go
all the spidery teachers
with sickly stained features
spray “on with the show”

and you can flash that revolver
come on

the night tide creatures
want your love
the night tide creatures
oh they want your love
oh they want your love

love song 666

The time was passing hopelessly slowly at that time.
I had too much free time on my hands, everyday.

My girlfriend said that you couldn't know the heart of others.
We broke up in a short time. But I got old as it is.

Long afternoon of 1984.
I was despairing of my youth.


I didn't know what I wanted to do at all.
But I had the time a lot. I was always bored.

I thought that the "future" would begin someday.
There was a war in Iraq. I was not interested in it

Long afternoon of 1984.
The future was hopeless.


I was living irresponsibly, so I became an unreliable man.
The future has already begun and I have no memories.

The boring long afternoon is still continuing.
I'm still playing a guitar and thinking about the love.

Long afternoon of 1984.
I was despairing of my youth.

Long afternoon of 1984.
The future was hopeless.

Long afternoon of 1984

Recorded in Terlingua Ghost Town church in Texas just outside of Big Bend National Park. This old run down church was open and empty and had that holy natural reverb so we crawled in like sneaky children and sang a song.
