Just playing around to see how good the new pickup in my MiraX sounds. It sounds good. This is just a riff playing around with clean tones. It's got a little jangle in it, which is nice. 

MiraX Clean Tones 02.2015 - 2:6:15, 12.29 AM

Quick, dumb demo playing around with the EQD Afterneath pedal I just done got. Dumb, off the cuff riff played on my Melody Maker into the Afterneath then straight into Logic and an AC30TB model via POD Farm. 

Afterneath Quick Demo

Goofed around with my Xaviere SG copy and the Tascam 4-Track app for iPhone. Just a test of super-quiet late night demo-ing. Used a built-in fake acoustic guitar plugin on the "lead" track and it ain't all that bad, really.

Project - 4:19:17, 11.38 PM

Pretty sure we did this one in my grandparents basement, where I lived at the time. No idea where the vocals went - we might not have gotten that far.

Flannel Rock Demo

Many, many years ago I was in a bad place and I heard those goddamn Christmas carillon bells one too many times. This is what it led to.

C'mon Feel The Misfit Toys

Shove This Christmas Up Your Ass (Original Version)

My friend Elise heard the original version and, somehow, decided I should get involved with the production of The Santaland Diaries she was directing. So I came up with this version, and it grew from there.

Shove This Christmas Up Your Ass

This is one of Kyle's tunes, and as I recall he did most everything other than my guitar parts himself. Kyle's stuff is both more subtle and more messed up than mine.

Ho No More (Butt Rock Mix)

This one came after STCUYA, but in the end it's probably my favorite of my Santaland songs.

Coal In Your Stocking

The final two recorded Misfit Toys songs, at least for now. Both were written early in our run with Santaland Diaries and both were eventually replaced with songs we liked better. Misfits. "Santa's Drunk Again" earns the distinction of being the only Misfit Toys song without any swears in the lyrics, so it's got that going for it.

Santa's Drunk Again

O Santa Bin Laden

Happy Cover Song Friday! Another Replacements cover this week (because I do love them so). Enjoy!
