Ep 5 - The Outsider

The Russell Rift: Part 2

From Mike McGinnis's "Singular Awakening" (4/27/18) on Sunnyside Records.

Mike McGinnis realized his dream of recording and releasing an album with two of his musical heroes in 2017. The recording, Recurring Dream, featured the saxophonist/clarinetist/composer alongside two legends of jazz and creative music (also his mentors and friends), pianist Art Lande and electric bassist Steve Swallow. Both Lande and Swallow are well known for their compositional expertise, so McGinnis made sure to include original compositions from them both. 

The three musicians also have a penchant for thoughtful and eclectic approaches toward improvisation. McGinnis wanted to capture the both sides of this trio, the formal compositional and the more free, but equally focused, improvisational identities. The trio’s new recording Singular Awakening was culled from the same session as the original recording but features eight brilliant improvised pieces bookended by compositions written by either Lande or Swallow.

I'm gettin intimate with a can of soda
I like the sugar, baby you're my favorite cola
I'll dress you up in a baby-doll
You're sweet and bubbly you've got it all
It's gettin tingly I'm kind of aroused
My hands are sticky soda pourin out
Don't care about my dental hygeine
Let my teeth rot out while I'm wired on caffeine

Soda I drink that (pop pop pop)
Charmed by its fizziness (pop pop pop pop)
Soda I drink that (pop pop pop)
When I'm takin care of business (pop pop pop pop)

I'd rather die at 22
Than live a life without Mountain Dew
I'll get a tumor filled with exclusively Pepsi
Don't give a hoot if I get epilepsy
Why you servin that Coca-Cola?
I'll still drink it though, even if it's got ebola
I drink Maine Root from the back you don't need to answer
When I told you I was diagnosed with colon can

Soda I drink that (pop pop pop)
Charmed by its fizziness (pop pop pop pop)
Soda I drink that (pop pop pop)
When I'm takin care of business (pop pop pop pop)

What A Fool Believes

Electric Mando in the Courthouse

First track out by the incredibly relevant, incredibly sexy new 21st Century Synthpop duo called MEATBALLGRINDER!!!!!!!! Listen or else. We went down to the river to pray, and we came back as enlightened synth pop geniuses. How does that make you feel? Want to be friends with us? Too bad. 

This band is scheduled to break up very soon.

New track that I hope you enjoy!

LYRICS:
Take me down to where you want to
Take me down to where you want to
