A classical memo

Don't let bias blind us to hypocrisy, regardless of the source of that hypocrisy! Being on the right side of history involves NEVER bending the truth to our will!

ALEX JONES SAYS, SANDY HOOK ALL OVER AGAIN - LISA BETH WOOLEY & GOTHIC FUNK

I weep for the victims, I don't waste my tears on mass murderers, serial killers, serial rapists. It sickens me when some are released back into society because of those misguided bleeding hearts who feel it is their purpose in life to save these people, only to hear, within a month of release, they killed a child.
If the Weepy Voiced Killer is as insane as he sounds, well that insanity must be taken into account, though he must never be allowed back into society; as for the rest, they must never be released. 
I will avoid discussing the Death Penalty here because it's such a divisive issue, but I do think the primary function of the justice system should be to protect law abiding citizens from the monsters that walk among us!

THE WEEPY VOICED KILLER (I'M SORRY I KILLED THAT GIRL)

JERKING OFF GHOSTS
Y.M.C.A.
AND HUMPING FLAGS
Y.M.C.A.
WHICH DOES HE PREFER MOST
Y.M.C.A.
IT’S A TOSS UP, OF COURSE
Y.M.C.A.

SHOW ME A FLAGPOLE
I’LL SHOW YOU MY HOLE
GIVES ME A BONER
I ALWAYS LOSE CONTROL

WHEN I’M VERBALING SHITE
OR MY BUM NEEDS A WIPE
I REACH FOR
THE STARS AND THE STRIPES

JERKING OFF GHOSTS
Y.M.C.A.
AND HUMPING FLAGS
Y.M.C.A.
TRUMP’S THE NAME
Y.M.C.A.
I’M ALLERGIC TO FAGS
Y.M.C.A.

JERKING OFF GHOSTS
STIFF AS A BOARD
PUMPING THOSE FISTS
WANKING OFF GHOSTS
JERKING OFF GHOSTS
STIFF AS A BOARD
PUMPING THOSE FISTS
WANKING OFF GHOSTS

SHOW ME A FLAGPOLE
I’LL SHOW YOU MY HOLE
GIVES ME A BONER
I ALWAYS LOSE CONTROL

WHEN I’M VERBALING SHITE
OR MY BUM NEEDS A WIPE
I REACH FOR
THE STARS AND THE STRIPES

SHOW ME A FLAGPOLE
I’LL SHOW YOU MY HOLE
GIVES ME A BONER
I ALWAYS LOSE CONTROL

AMONGST HIS MANY OTHER QUIRKS
TRUMP LOVES TO JERK OFF MAGA JERKS
HITS THEM HARDEST WHERE IT HURTS
OFF THEIR BACKS HE TAKES THEIR SHIRTS

JERKING OFF GHOSTS
AND HUMPING FLAGS
TRUMP IS THE CHUMP
TURNING RICHES TO RAGS

MASTURBATING GHOSTS
WHILE HE’S SHAGGING THE FLAG
PROVES HE’S EITHER PATRIOTIC
OR A BIT OF A SLAG

MISS YOU ALREADY...Annie Smart & Jane Hamilton

Lyrics posted below...
This song was made organically with a 1972 Gibson 12 string that has my teeth marks in it from when I was a baby. Also used is a Peavey bass and a Yamaha MOXF8.  The last 10 seconds capture the decay of the sound of the guitar and bass only. When I was little I used to love the never ending sound of the piano decay with the sustain pedal held down. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics

Fight or the flight of the little white bird
That perches upon your soul
Traveling far and wide
at the speed of light
can take its toll

Little white bird
Little white bird

Willingness to accept our faults
and relinquish all control
Abounds a greater purpose boy
Your cup of faith is full
Fight or the flight of the little white bird
That perches upon your soul
Traveling far and wide
At the speed of light
Will make you cold

Little white bird
Little white bird
Little white bird

Under a rock there lies a bug
that reads Mephistopheles
Traveling at the speed of light
Will always set me free

Sadness lives as illusions of the past
Squatting in my head for free
The future grants her anxiety boy
The present is always free

Little white bird
Little white bird
Little white bird
Little white bird

Lyrics:

All grows dim, time is winding down
My cheeks stay hovered over a puddle of brown
The voices outside of this cramped little box
These choices i've made to breed these cramped up blocks

The shit bubbles burst and trap all the flies
A concoction so twisted, Only someone like Bill Nye
Can decipher all these lies
Can scythe all of these cries
as this pit of stench boils in the middle of July

Out there the souls, eager for pressure to burst
Through their minds like a submarine tank submersed
Parades gather in the grass for the show to start
While these waves slowly rip my brain apart

A wetness caresses my hang lo mein
This water is rising am I going insane?
It tickles my demons but it feels so ripe
There's always a bit of shit at the end of the pipe!

I'm in a fecal position where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
Where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
The slimy hand of stench, Pulls me right down
In a puddle of madness, many shades of brown
NO NO NO NO NOOO!
Get a little taste of the waste in the swamp!

I know that we shared the girl
but I am not the boy that  you once knew
and if if you were in trouble
would I still look out for you

oooh ooh

and if if I was to live
throughout this whole life again
I yeah I have come to doubt
whether I would even call you friend

or would I just sit right there and rue  the day
I'd ever seen your bloody face before

and if if you were cold would I offer you my coat
and if say one day you were lost
would I show you where to go

or would I just sit right there and rue the day
I'd ever seen your bloody face before

I know things are strange
not the way they used to be
sometimes we all change

what Became of you and
what Became of you and
what Became of you and me
what Became of you and me
what Became of you and me 


sometimes I like to remenisce
think back on all the places
where we used to go
Jukebox purple hearts and questions
but how the hell am I supposed to know

remember when we used to venture South
closing time and they're gonna throw us out
but we we just wanna stay
and re-live all our yesterday's today

or would I just sit right there and rue the day
I'd ever seen your bloody face before

 would I just sit right there and rue the day
I'd ever seen your bloody face before

I know things are strange
not the way they used to be
sometimes we all change

what Became of you and
what Became of you and
what Became of you and me
what Became of you and me
what Became of you and me 



What Became Of You And Me

A big thank you to Jo Richter @sonic-textures for offering up this inspiring open collaboration poem! His recording, also quite strange and experimental, can be found here:
https://soundcloud.com/sonic-textures/the-passing-crave-voice-effects

The rhythmic background in my track was created by taking Jo's recording and chopping it up into fragments, then running it through a sample arpeggiator using an app called Samplr. Jo's recording is also used in the backward tape effect at the beginning and end, also created with Samplr. 

To further experiment with tape manipulation effects I did my own reading of the poem, then snipped the vocals into fragments and pitch-shifted them, this time using the Abu Dhabi dynamic loop slicer in Korg Gadget. Of course I also layered on some synth and keys (arturia microfreak, minilogue xd). Quite a different approach for me on this one, but it all came together surprisingly quickly considering the relative complexity. I hope to experiment with similar techniques going forward, I'm finding it fun to work with poetry and spoken word, so am definitely open to more collaborations that go in this direction!

Lyrics copyright Jo Richter (Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches)

the day slopes
down the hill
his residence rests on

the clouds in his gaze
match the clouds in the sky
as the winds gently shape them

he has a slow meal
within shifting structures 
of people who rush by

stopped at a corner
he sees squatters evicted
from ivory lodgings

matching his steps
to the patterns of stones
he rewrites the pavement

past the outskirts of town
he watches a beetle
scuttle along a fencepost

he walks past the tree
he has been dreaming of
for ten years in a row now

in liquified air
this moment freezes
unseeing his life

Translated lyrics (a funny-epic poem when I was 15):

Cacique manda: “¡Ir a cazar!”  /  Chieftain says, "Go hunting!"
Mondongo Gwanda pronto marchar.  /  Mondongo Gwanda soon leave.
Él ha bebido vino y gazpacho;  /  He has drunk wine and gazpacho;
torre ha subido todo borracho.  /  tower has climbed all inebriated.

Gran cazador, Mondongo corre  /  Great hunter, Mondongo runs
ojo avizor desde la torre.  /  watchful eye from the tower.
Cree haber visto una gacela.  /  He thinks he saw a gazelle.
“No me resisto, voy a cogerla.”  /  "I can’t resist, I’ll catch it."

Lleva su lanza, lleva su flecha,  /  He carries his spear, he carries his arrow,
pronto la alcanza y encima se echa.  /  he soon reaches for it, and jumps over.
Su colocón le trae de cabeza,  /  His drunkenness gets him in trouble,
¡el tío torpón falla la pieza!  /  the clumsy guy fails the prey!

 “¡Jopeng!” Exclama Mondongo, duro,  /  "Dang it!" exclaims Mondongo, tough,
enciende llama porque está oscuro.  /  he lights fire because it’s dark.
 “¡Cagonla!” Grita desesperado.  /  "Bullshit!" he screams desperately.
Ya la monita se le ha pasado.  /  The hangover is over already.

Sobrio, Mondongo no se calló,  /  Sober, Mondongo didn’t shut up,
dijo: “En el Congo soy yo el mejor.”  /  he said: "In the Congo I am the best."
Fue lanza en mano tras el animal,  /  He went spear in hand after the animal,
bajo un manzano fuelo a encontrar.  /  under an apple tree he got to find it.

Comiendo estaba tranquilamente,  /  It was eating calmly,
Gwanda acercábase lentamente.  /  Gwanda approached slowly.
Ya que la vio le tiró fuerte;  /  Once he saw it, speared it hard;
tanto la hirió, le dio la muerte.  /  he hurt it so much, caused its death.

Mondongo salta, vuelve al poblado,  /  Mondongo jumps, returns to the village,
alegre canta: “Ya la he cazado”.  /  happy he sings: "I’ve already hunted it".
Mondongo Gwanda llega a casita.  /  Mondongo Gwanda arrives home.
Cacique aguarda, le felicita.  /  Chieftain awaits, congratulates him.

An Jazz song track inspired by one of the very 
beautiful photos brought back by Julie during a recent 
trip to Thailand.
Many thanks to Julie.

Un titre Jazz inspiré d'une des très
belles photos rapportées par Julie lors d'un récent
voyage en Thaïlande.
Un grand merci à Julie.

---- Effet Mer  -----

C'est à désespérer des hommes,
Eve n'aurait jamais dû croquer la pomme,
On serait rester soi-disant sauvages,
on aurait pas vécu tous ces ravages,
cueillir les fruits du plaisir,
il y avait tant de belles histoires à écrire,
n'écouter que le son de la pluie et du vent,
sans se soucier du temps,
on aurait jamais dit c'était mieux avant,
en fixant éternellement l'instant...

I was never satisfied with the final mix and master of this track from over 3 years ago. Having learned a few tricks of the trade I revisited the mix and made quite a few changes involving selective limiting on some stems, saturation, upwards compression, cleaning up the drums, rebalancing of some of the levels, fixing the vocals, eliminating a superfluous synth and probably more that I can't remember. I decided to relaunch the track as I think there is a huge difference.

A rueful look back at what might have been.....if only.

IF ONLY

If only you could see through my eyes
If only I could find just one more way
If only we could go back in time
If the two of us didn’t feel so lonely
If only could be sublime

And I will never forget
I remember your tender embrace
I miss gazing into your eyes
I miss hearing your laughter
Seeing your smile
Feeling your love 

And yet
There’s so much more
Why I walked out that door
I can’t ever forget
Lying on my back 
On a cold floor

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If we could get back to just having fun
If everything could be undone
If we could live on regret
If the two of us, had never met
If no-one had to run

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

I pray from Monday to Sunday
I pray for both of our souls
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If Only

Some of the best music around today is #UNSIGNED so don’t dismiss it without a listen; it is a #MYTH that it is inferior to #SIGNED music!

Don't let the MUSIC INDUSTRY FOOL YOU, the best tunes around today are #UNSIGNED, #INDEPENDENT & #UNDERGROUND!

And don't let anyone tell you what music to make or how to make it, JUST MAKE IT….DO WHAT YOU FEEL!

ANOTHER CRIME WE ALL INHALE

a deeply personal song about almost losing someone close to me, and coming to terms with that.  something i don’t ever want to re-live, but it made me love them so much more.  more than i ever thought possible.

this song is available to BUY on bandcamp https://miaowmcdonald.bandcamp.com/track/a-fucked-up-lovesong

"A Fucked Up Lovesong" is also available on all other digital platforms to download and/or stream... iTunes, Spotify, Napster, Deezer, GooglePlay, AppleMusic, TikTok, YouTube  etc etc etc...

(c)(p) written & performed by Miaow McDonald

lyrics:

don't say you love me - or that you want me now...
don't say you want me - or that you love me now...

never been this high
i'm scared of heights
i'm scared of falling down.
never in this life
have i swam in sunlight
i'm scared i'm gonna drown.

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

just say you love me - and that you want me now...
just say you want me - and that you love me now...

close the door
and hold me tight...
don't ever let me go
when i saved your life
you saved me from myself...
don't let that go...

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

did it take some time after 
even as they did play?
did it take some time after 
or was it all just a laughter?
did it not take you by surprise
how my world wells with tears?
just thinking about it 
how the mess begins, darling 
how the mess, the mess begins, darling 

only there in the night 
when it starts to fall 
only there in the night 
do I see my fault 
only there in the night 
incognito deal 
only there in the night 
deliberate deal 
only there in the night 
reaction is served 
only in serving the cause of all causes 
only in serving the cause
does the dust settle 

how long will it take me
only to feel for you?

Smog Part One

The Music Video

Smog Part One (video on youtube)

New album Audio/Visual is now available exclusively on SC and BandCamp, featuring my favorite tracks from 2024-25. Soon to be released more widely to Spotify and other platforms.

My genre influences include electronic, downtempo, lofi, experimental, rock, blues, indie, prog, post rock, ambient, synthwave, trip hop, and hip hop. 

My recent tunes are produced using Ableton Live, FabFilter suite plugins, and often feature synths like Pigments, Microfreak, and Minilogue XD. I'm also beginning to incorporate guitar a lot more!
 
Some of my major artist influences include Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, DJ Shadow, Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, the Flaming Lips, Tame Impala, M83, Godspeed you Black Emperor!, Mogwai, Animal Collective, Nicolas Jaar, Dirty Projectors, Massive Attack, Björk, Dan the Automator, Del, the Gorillaz, Reggie Watts, Ween, Neon Indian, Tycho, Ott, Shpongle, Danger Mouse, Built to Spill, Yo La Tengo, Velvet Underground, My Bloody Valentine, Pink Floyd, Modest Mouse, the Books, and too many others to list here.
