#176 This song is raw rock music.  

It is Killer Joe From Idaho.  This is for all of the keyboard (computer not music) warriors and trolls.  At home, cozy in their pajamas, Mountain Dew on the table and basking in the glow of a computer screen, ready able and more than willing to fill you in on everything you never cared about knowing. Even if it's just made up. 
They're all Killer Joe From Idaho 😉

Lyrics;
He's got twenty five inches of the world in his face
Lighting up the basement of his mom and Dad's place
Yeah!

He's full of ideas 
and a home cooked meal
He's got the social media to tell him how to feel

He's angry bout the way 
Old folks ruin everything 
From too much homework to who's in the west wing

He's plays a battle tank on an online game
Killer Joe from Idaho is his onscreen name
Killer Joe from Idaho 
Yeah!

He hunts NPCs
And he kills like a boss 
Subscription's not a problem 
When your folks 
pay the cost
Yeah!

He's got thousands of friends
That he's never met
You know life is so much better when you live on the net

He can say what he wants
And you're wrong cause he's right 
But he's as quiet as a mouse when exposed to the light 

He checks out what's trending
He's got the latest apps
As for anything else he doesn't give a crap 
Killer Joe from Idaho 
Yeah!

He says what good is a dream  
It's only in your mind
He's got the world on a screen
To download in real time
Yeah!

Meeting people on the street
Just isn't his thing
Cause he's Killer Joe From Idaho 
The keyboard king

He's got twenty five inches of the world in his face
Lighting up the basement of his mom and Dad's place
Killer Joe from Idaho 
Yeah!
Killer Joe from Idaho 
Yeah!

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
