SM First Anniversary - Song

[keto]

With apologies to those of you who aren't named below, I just couldn't get EVERYONE in.

Words and music, all instruments and most vocals by me. Kids did lotsa engineering, a little rhythm section and a little background vocs.

Going to host it on my site but have asked prime to host it here again if possible - give me 10 mins to get it linked.

:)

:thumbsup:

[keto]

Well OK, my hosting is not cooperating. I refuse to get high blood pressure over this, it is after all FREE hosting (1&1) so I'll try again tomorrow. Meanwhile, maybe prime will get up for a midnite snack and link it for us ;)

[primesuspect]

hahaha Keto - omg that is really, really, REALLY cool... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I feel so honored!

Amazing! Check it out! (http://www.short-media.com/downloads/SMAnniversary.mp3)

[Necropolis]

Very cool :thumbsup:

It has a very "Frank Zappa" feel to it ;) And I got a mention to :)

[keto]

All you buggers and your name changes really messed with me over the last 2-3 weeks as I was putting this together :buck:

Never did find a drum sound I like, I think the mic we have can't handle the fast transients.

Only one relatively major 'clam' in there, right at the beginning of the 2nd verse the bass and guitar come in a different times. Several spots with minor timing issues but I figgered hell, it's rock n roll, more or less. And I know my singing can barely be called that - I'd be happy to supply tracks if anyone else wants to take a swing at this ;)

All guitar/bass/drum tracks are live off the mic except the warbly clean tone in the "short-media" bridges and in the last chorus, which is direct into the board.

It was a lotta fun putting it together, errrr, once I got over my 9 (now 10) yr old daughter wiping out some tracks TWICE by hitting the 'RECORD' button before I told her :rant: The vocals in the "short" part of the bridge are my son and I shouting into the mic, one track left/one track right. I ended up having to add another vocal track of 'shorts' cause it sounded like a gagging seal singing 'snort' or 'hort' thru its nose, we were just absolutely in tears laughing listening to it.

In the end, I hope you guys like it. How many other enthusiast sites do you know that have their very own theme songs? :Rocker:

[bothered]

I'm in a song, I'm in a song.
Excellent stuff keto. It should be teamed up with Spinners S-M song for the start of an album. :Rocker: :celebrate :Rocker:

hahaha, wow, top job, what a way to commemorate the one year anniversary, I'm so excited to hear my name in the short-media song!! :D

[keto]

I should mention, the guys here didn't know it was coming and in no way did they endorse this effort as any kind of "official" - just my noodling ;)
