Lyrics:
Heroine, the master of the sun
She never had enough to say
We are just a message in the dust
Once received, forever gone away

Don't lose your voice
Don't lose

Living, basking in the rust
Pulling strings, pulling legs
Memory is waiting with the dust
Anxiously waiting for today

Written by Teddy Zarosinski and Hakeem Hashash. 
Recorded and mixed by Hakeem Hashash.

Lyrics:
The rain
The rain, it soaked our feet
The rain, it soaked up everything

We needed
We needed a big bright kiss from the sun

Ambiance in the air
Vested by the moon

And the sunshine's waiting for you

A big, bright kiss from the sun

Lyrics:
Zombies with money 
Dead chicks buy shit up 
Like it's brains 
You're all the same 

Daydreams on the TV 
Wish that could be me 
You're all the same 
All the same 

Walking in blue shoes 
The shoes are walking you today 
What a day 

[Sing it with me! Come on, Ted! 
Come on. Ted. I'm getting pissed off.] 

Ooh, it's hell 
Ooh, it's hell 
Why are we here now? 
Why think to be here? 

You won't be thankful 
Two days from now 
You won't be thankful 
Going back to 
Two days from now 

Ooh, it's hell 
Ooh, it's hell 
Why are we here now? 
Why think to be here? 

Ooh, it's hell 
Ooh, it's hell 
Why think to be here? 
Why think to be here?

Lyrics:
We'll love the sun 
Until we're unable 
To breach the plans 
But never had any 
I'm not a man 
I am a vessel 
To the world 
Who is the world? 

And do it so 
Do it so happily 

Negate the sound 
The sound that swallowing 
Simple thoughts 
The water is silent 
I'm not alone 
I am a vessel 
To the world 
Who is the world? 

Step into the room, come on 
Upset the sound 

Just as sunspots come 
Came into the room 
Building holes in a 
Exit through the ground

The Animal Sound - "Gnarwhal"

I like a girly who know how to read
Said her favorite book is the dictionary
I turn the page
You find my number under Pimpology

I like a girly who's named Hakeem
I drive her into town, drive-thru date king
Three Hakeems packed in the back seat
Linking up with another after Dairy Queen

I like a girly who ain't afraid to eat
She took a whole pound of shrimp once she turned 18
She wanna know how my sauce so sweet?
I let her have a taste 'cause the first one's free

I like a girly with good hygiene
I like a girly with cavities
I like a girly ain't got no teeth
(I like a girly) Don't talk to me.

HOTCREME - "GIRLY" (PROD. CAMSHIP)

We covered Lenny Kravitz' 1998 hit "Fly Away" for a Portland cassette-label's cover compilation of the first Now That's What I Call Music.  Thank you, Lord Kravitz.

Lyrics:
I wish that I could fly 
Into the sky so very high
Just like a dragonfly

I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please, oh

I want to get away
I wanna fly away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Let's go and see the stars
The Milky Way or even Mars
Where it can just be ours

Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly where we are one
Just for a little fun, oh

I want to get away
I wanna fly away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hakeem Hashash - drums, hypeman

The Animal Sound - "Fly Away"

This one features Kevin Reesor of Super Soaked on guitars and bass.  Follow our FB page to find out how to get a copy of the PDX Now! cassette cover compilation.

Lyrics: 
I'm a blond bimbo girl, in a fantasy world
Dress me up, make me tight, I'm your dolly
You're my doll, rock 'n' roll, feel the glamour in pink
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky

You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please
I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again
Hit the town, fool around, let's go party


Serena Worthington - Barbie vocals
Teddy Zarosinski - long-distance-boyfriend vocals
Kevin Reesor - guitars, bass
Hakeem Hashash - drums, organ/keys

Tter Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ttermusic
Tter (pronounced "teeter") is Hakeem Hashash's solo project and this track is from Tter's upcoming "Neighborhood" release. 

"Lasic" is the name of the court that my pimp Brady Heinsoo (of Beloved Dust) grew up on. The track features Brady Heinsoo on vocals (right channel), and I sing for the first time on a Tter cut (left harmony).

Lasic is also the first track to feature my pimpy 1970s proto-synth ELKA organ, going nuts on arpeggios and the rest of the soft flute sounds. 

As a challenge, I tracked everything with one mic (Beyerdynamic M160 ribbon mic) and used only my project studio and the toys in it for reverbs/slapbacks. The entire drum sound was captured using ONE room mic for the whole kit. Try it, you can get some cool sounds if you dick around long enough.

All parts written and produced by Hakeem Hashash.

Tter - "Lasic"

Eight years ago, I was just meeting my wife. As any dope high schooler does, I put together a mixtape for her including this Yo La Tengo song. Today's her birthday, so I covered it (and conquered my fear of singing!)

Performed & mixed by Hakeem Hasworth. Arrangement by Yo La Tengo. Written by Harry Wayne Casey.

Tter - "You Can Have It All"

He is my dude, he is my guy
He is so cool, he is so fly
He is my man, he is my bro
He is THE man and that is fo sho

He is my friend, he is my pal
He is so zen, he is so WOW
He is my guy, he is my dude
I wouldn't mind seeing James fully nude

Yeah ho

He is my dude, he is my guy
He is so cool, he is so fly
That's James

Working Demos

My Dude, My Guy

I'm a recording engineer and musician. My solo work is Tter, and I record and drum in The Animal Sound with Teddy Zarosinski. Thanks for listening!
