29 December 2005

in dastardly bastard fashion [More:] none of my guitar owning family in the last weeks would let me borrow their guitars (despite not using them) to finish up my "Santa is a Bastard" (working title) song i had planned as my seasonal gift for metachat.
because they were afraid i would be "doing something naughty"--

piffle.

and so if it is not abandoned all together, i may post some loose notes and lyrics or sing with a bass intro.
or possibly post from a vriend's house tomorrow.

meanwhile, i am very mildly boozed and freshly optimistic.
i may even update my flickr account to share my quonsakkah candles.
What the?

I'm really curious as to what kind of "something naughty" your guitar-owning family is possibly thinking of.

Because it sounds fun. Is it something one would take off their pants for? Or would it instead involve unconventional applications of hardware or power tools to said guitar. I'm down with both. Perhaps simultaneously - even with Jell-O. I hear metal vibrators make totally insane slide/ebow combos.

Damn, I need a drink. Yay 3 day weekends... I'm gonna get totally trashzzzzzz... ZZzzz. zzzznort! What? Who now? ARGH. I just know I'm going to sleep all weekend again, NYE be damned.

If they do let you use the guitar. Aside from making what surely will be a wonderful song, be sure to film the process too. Just in case.

awww
the bunnies noticed me.
i think i missed my favorite digital furbearance.
i even added to the wiki for you all.

gimmie a few hours to regroup and blow people off (and try to get a refund on an accidental double payment on a dressform from ebay) and i'll bust into my growing debt to upgrade my flickr and get the song together.

it was just the working title and their own lingering paranoia that scared people.
if i can get my friend to tote up the phone charge and get over the fact "santa is a bastard" is a working title (with much asides to the misfit toys), i may have a more melodic version to post tomorrow, else i'll post a hackneyed version tonight, if i rework the lyrics.

i'm glad i just hit the brink of dodgygeezer day so maybe it will be geezerly instead.
i do like my base melody but i may go the way of the sackofjaweeah dollar coin.

ps. to pan: there isn't a way for me to video it as my camera only records up to 20 seconds. but i may try for you just for hosting my santa clip.
that santa is not a bastard, but his real name is richard.

bass not base
and maybe the most mod modest mods will fix my typos (my keyboard's is being balanced on a teetering plane)

Welcome back, ethylene.
posted by matildaben 29 December | 20:07
why, thank you, matilda
you are in my upper echelon mechalekkahidehos
maybe i'll pop in irc in a bit

Two words, ehtylene: A CAPELLA.

(And I'd have thought "Santa Is a Bastard" would be best accompanied by a simple jingle bell rhythm line)

However you can do it, go for it.

And get off that teetering plane and use a better airline.

wendell, don't you think everyone has had more than enough of my wacky ackipella?
posted by ethylene 29 December | 21:00
I haven't. Bring on the wackyack.

well, you can't tell the candles are red and green in the pic so far, but the skulls and leopard print backgroud show up.

maybe i'll wait and do everything at once, at that UTC hour of wakedness.
posted by ethylene 29 December | 22:33
Hey eth! I've missed you. And I hope to hear the song one day soon. :) (One can never get enough of that wacky a capella)
posted by LeeJay 29 December | 23:03
Hi eth I was just about to post asking where you were. Glad you're back. Here is my yuletide poem here. When I was young I wanted to be a lesbian poetess but alas I have no talent and I am not female so I moved on to wanting to be an astronaut.
posted by arse_hat 29 December | 23:56
gosh golly gee.
i'm surprised anyone noticed my absence.
maybe you can all help me with new lyrics as i've finally taken a slight break from radio mechat (it's hard to compose myself while listening to other's funky beats)
once i find my rhythm again i hope to post lyrics you can add suggestions to.
posted by ethylene 30 December | 00:33
wait, are you calling me a lesbian, a poetess, or an astronaut wannabe?
because i have a great dream about "the Real World MIR space station" from a long time ago--
and i will wikiedit you

*never been wikiedited*

*and...*

*hops on the "Welcome Back, ethylene" train*

Yay!

posted by bmarkey 30 December | 00:58
well aww
btw, i'm way too busy bedazzling wiki profiles in retaliation to even get to straight graffitiwiki.
this happily keeps me from my atonal bass noodling which would not even record on the phone.
ijust don't feel like appropriating a tune right now, though--

--unless someone has a suggestion

paging mr. arse_hat:
i wanted to make a user page for you but i think you should log in using your profile ident instead or there will just be a roving arsehat page.
sadly, this marks the death of a very clever joke that will never see the light of screen
*empties mental storage space, suddenly remeners old client phone numbers*

Eth, you don't really have to film it. I was just thinking, if you had the guitar and in case you really did do naughty things, it would be nice to know what they are. You know, so we could try it out too.
posted by panoptican 30 December | 02:12
the naughtiest things are words and thoughts.
hence the amorphous fear.
posted by ethylene 30 December | 02:47
Yay eth!! Wuddupp?

update: lyrics thrown together from the comics (not up to snuff to show) ended up a bit too aggro for my intentions. to wit:
Who invited the judgemental fat guy?
Did he just call me naughty?
That big old suit don't seem so cute
with gift giving guides so snotty--

then it gets worse with mentions of stripmining and a chorus line about where'd you get that coal and how timned charity might just be a reminder to get your deductable donations in before the end of the fiscal year--

long story short, maybe i'll rework a different one which was more what i meant to mean, and save that for someone's santa mob action to a punk rhythm another time.

my camera cord and lighting restrictions kiboshed a good shot of my quonsakkah candles so here's one of last year's hahahanakindasorta and maybe i'll give it all a shot later.

good eve's eve
