Cast of characters:

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and foundational rhythm guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, sitar, mix, mastering, and production

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, electric piano, and synth

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 

This song is the brainchild of Artur, who composed it on his guitar perfectly for collaboration, and presented it to us with his vision for the entire sound. Ken went first, of course, adding his signature rocking beat to the song. Josh went next, as soon as Ken had laid down the drums, adding his four string fretless bass sound to fill out the rhythm section. 
  Tez came along soon after, adding some foundational ornamentation with his guitar. JJ jumped in right after Tez, and laid in the majestic organ, riffing electric piano, and subtle synth you hear throughout. Finally, Stephen laid his guitar in there, too, which can be heard as a fiery melodic line running throughout. At Artur's suggestion, he also added some amazing, trippy sitar in a couple of spots, too.
  Once all the tracks were laid down, Stephen came through with his always skillful mix. This makes almost an album worth of material that The Eclectic Collective has created from Artur's ideas. We're always excited when he drops a new one in our laps. He wrote this on a sweet rainy day in the Polish summer. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
  We all appreciate your support, and encourage you to share this song if you've read the whole way down to the bottom here.

Sweet Rainy Day (w/The Eclectic Collective)

man, let me tell you this
life is shit and piss
there's something amiss
about the way we live
and no one gives 
a damn

well, god damn

i try to do my best
end up suffering like the rest
earn my fucking pay
but there never seems to be a way
to get ahead
we just do this til we're dead

i don't like it a bit
having to be a fucking slave
but we never have the choice
for all the things we gave
to be a part of this shit
we call society
shouldnt be
as hard as it seems

i reed shit in the news
about people and how they suffer
how no one really cares
about the well being of another
its all bleak tragedies they feed us

mind control
consume your soul
fill you with holes
leave you hollow with a yearning
to die somehow
but not now

we all pray
for a quiet peaceful death
surrounded by loved ones
as we take our final breath
but the reality
is the suffering
and pain as grow older
days get dull and colder
just a rotting piece of meat
no one cares put you on the street
if you can't make the bills
a shortage of cash will kill us all

fucking pathetic
ain't that the way it goes

and the ones we idolize
the ones who get by
with all the glory and the fame
money's the name of the game
we all wish we were like that
fat cats always where the actions at

such hollow lives we leed
we take joy in seeing others bleed

what kind of creation
would see its people
set up warring  nations
kill each other 
whats the point in that
there must be something to it
cuz thats where we're at

whats the point
whats the point

fuck i don't know
tell me it aint so

What's The Point?

This is a track I wrote about a month ago that I finally found the beat, tempo and mood that I've been searching for. I was so lucky to find Lilac Rust! Once I heard their music I felt an instant "click" and I knew we had to do just like peanut butter and chocolate and create our own version of a delicious peanut butter cup, audio version of course and I think it came out pretty tasty! Hope everyone else loves it too!

There aren't enough Zappa remixes on the internet, so I made one. Signal Flags lays down the backing track with their old school rocking track "Reach for the Sky" while Zappa discusses the merits of our decisions. Aculpulco, let's go.
