Excellent playing Mike, you nail those pinch harmonics. The organ is very cool.

Delightful dynamic piece of music. Love the guitar playing on this one. All around fantastic track.

Very beachy with all those extra sounds and surf.

Bells Beach?! My parents have a holiday house on the Surf Coast. :)

just some great changes here to keep you on your toes. very cool. nailed that tone too :) nice playting here

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– acoustic and electric guitar

  This is a remix that Tez did of a song JJ wrote, and we released a couple weeks ago. He extracted the coda, expanded it, and mixed an ambient groove into it. Basically, he took the sweetest part of the fruit and made a salad with it. Everyone is doing the same thing they were a couple weeks ago, except this time what you're hearing has gone through the filter of Tez's brain. It sounds like almost a completely different song now, and a really fun ride at that. Tez is into ambient music, so this touches on that proclivity, too. When all heard it on Christmas day, we decided immediately that we wanted to share it with all of you. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it, and Tez enjoyed crafting it into something new.

Poem that inspired Glen is listed below.

WOKE UP THIS MORNIN'	
THE SNOW WAS FALLIN'	
ICE WAS ON THE WINDOW	
CHILL FACTOR WAS TEN BELOW 	
	
I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO	
WHY WORRY ABOUT THE SNOW	
HAD A GOOD NIGHT'S REST	
I KNOW I'VE BEEN BLESSED 	
	
(CHORUS)	
AS I LOOK AT THE SNOW ON THE LAWN	
ANOTHER YEAR HAS COME AND GONE	
WE ALL HAVE SOME UPS AND DOWNS	
AS THE WORLD GOES ROUND 	
	
I HAVE A ROOF OVER MY HEAD	
AND A WARM COZY BED	
SHOES ON MY FEET	
AND PLENTY TO EAT	
	
LIFE IS VERY SHORT, MY FRIEND	
WE NEED TO ENJOY IT TO THE END	
GIVE SOMEONE A HELPIN' HAND	
YOU WILL BE BLESSED, IN THE END 	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)

Lyrics

Hello, how are you where you been Timbuktu 
I haven’t seen you since god knows when 
So how the hell are you 

Remember when this world was young 
Life was simple and so much fun 
And the sun it always shone and the days went on and on 

In the park playing seventeen a side 
And the game would only end when it got too dark to see the ball ⚽️ 
So we’d all head home ‘til we could do it all again 

Remember when this world was young 
Life was simple and so much fun 
The sun ☀️ it always shone and the days went on and on 

Remember the big lad he lived down my street 
He stole my tortoise 🐢 Tom and he stole your rabbit 🐇 Pete
So we surprised him once when we pushed him in the pond 
He couldn’t swim oh we nearly drowned him 

Well we’ve all grown up and moved on 
Got mortgages and wives and kids and so on 
And this life goes on 

Hello, how are you where’ve you been Timbuktu 
I haven’t seen you since god knows when 
So tell me how are you 
Tell me how are you 
Tell me how your doing 
Oh let’s keep in touch 
Let’s catch up 
Do you use facebook or twitter (x)
Or I could WhatsApp you or I could phone ☎️ you……..

Hello How Are You

Hello, How Are You

ESCAPE the four walls of today with this heavy rhythm!
Let the madness of the bass take you away!

Keep passionately creating, chase your dreams to exhaustion!

Hello my friends... This is my new track... Hope you like it

Troubled Times

The Smoking Trout's Quest for the Holy Dumpling continues! When we left our travelers they had just been given a tip that they needed to travel from New Mexico to Oaxaca for the next leg of their journey. This latest track is basically an instrumental interlude but it re-samples the holy dumpling ingredient list that was recited during the last episode by a "Sufi sitting on the sidewalk serenely spouting scripture from the Transcendental Dharma of the Holy Dumpling".

I started this one, Jeff infused it with some incredibly creative experimental guitar and electronic touches, Stephen killed it on rhythm and lead guitar once again, and joining us for the second (but not the last) time, Masa a.k.a. Tot reinforced the groove by adding a really nice additional drum beat.

Along with baking soda, salt, wheat and water
A heavy leavening of responsibility ls required ln the making--
and some mushrooms only growing ln Oaxaca

Lyrics:

If you feel tired and can't find any pleasures
Unable to see how things really should be

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If you don't know how to love
And don't know how to live
If you feel split in two
And have nothing to give

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If family and friends see you as only strong
They may not be aware of
That you struggle all day long

And need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

To be able to help others
You have to help yourself
Don't be ashamed
To stop up and say

That you need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

So take a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day...
