Because of course we had triple bass... that's right a double bass, and a single bass equals triple bass last time i checked, but hey they call me the square:
An old Knockin' Dog song that never saw the light of day, but seems to be shining bright these days, some songs have their day after years of trying to reach the surface. I like to see a song as an individual being... it just needs the right environment to thrive. In the wrong environment it just sits there being criticized with all it's apparent flaws being the reason for all the world's ills... you know what i mean. For the record i don't want to knock criticism, one of the greatest tools an open mind has available for it's service.
The Rev D Badcock wrote the words for the most part... always with the American automobile reference... smart idea really. Me i never write about cars... I really don't care for them too much, the Rev's identity is tied to his automobiles... he was always telling me what i should drive... I was like "who gives a shit"... put people really do. Tonight people were grooving to this song in the gym that was so soaked in auto tune it was absolutely ridiculous... all i could think was "How did that get out of production without somebody kicking the shit out of the person responsible for the soaking". But the reality is, for the bottom line they did the right thing... their song is playing making money and CONSUMERS are loving it.
How bout this version of square boy from September 2009, which was actually the first time i played the song in over a decade, contrary to what i told Jason Jones a few weeks ago, which was an honest memory malfunction. JLS on skins, Younger on Guitar and K Nazo on trumpet:
This should be the SRSS blog not the history of the song Square Boy blog... It was written in a bedroom in a few minutes by some kids who had mountains of ideas in their heads but no confidence.
WHERE WERE WE... well we didn't have the caps lock on... it was Jovana Golubovic and Cameron Lewis who opened up with a fair clinic... guitar bass and voice... and of course crowd chatter. You can't have a show in a WORLD CLASS city without lots of crowd chatter, it's the way we roll around here. I wonder if people listen in Portland?
with a band you can fight the chatter a little better:
it's still there, but you can compete which is what you need to do, if your going to be in the "business"... Me, I'm just a gibbering fool 41 and drumming, sometimes it's hard to find the right words, it feels like your just strumming, i did some things that i wish i didn't but i wouldn't trade me for nothing... ah hell lets call it embed night:
weird processing on that... years have passed since the upload, and the way computers process things leaves old relics in the dust... perhaps time for a new upload... which makes a case for why a crazy kook woman shouldn't throw out a man's good collection of cassettes even if they are leaving the country an it might appear to someone on an insane tangent that it is indeed "useless junk".
but that's another battle that needs a secret tunnel to a secret room to really survive.. and in the meantime we have some Super Robertson Supper Shows to do:
On Wednesday October 26 2011
Ginger and Moonshine is back! With Special guests.... THE BEVELED EDGES!
This is Ginger and Moonshine from their March 23 2011 Super Robertson Supper Show
They actually make a cameo in the "Bold Point Road OFFICIAL VIDEO" from that night when they rose to the occasion and learned the song and we grabbed a drummer named Doug from NYC and spanked down a pretty decent version:
word from the Internet is that there are close to 50 people coming to this show, let us prey the sound man comes on time, as it is a Vancouver City Limits night.
