Mark Whitcomb

Mark had recorded a bass line since the last practice

Adding another verse to the existing recording

The recorded the second chorus with the variations on the words

Added an 808 bass drum for the "boom" after each line of the chorus with a kick drum to give it more punch.

H-bomb Lyrics

(or at least our interpretation of the lyrics. Fully aware that most of them are wrong.)

insert any old adjective anywhere,

It doesn't matter because they'll find pretext arm fall

It's easy cuz they're just sluts, they're just sluts micro-chrome

your bed is like a luggage saying deeper creepy eyes

Go get the H-Bomb

Bryan recording sax parts for the song

he did a scooting thig on the last solo and we then had him theme his part to use that style more.

At the end he squelaed "H-bomb" during the fade out and we decided to keep it for fun.

Dust in shadows by ladybeard

Working the the Ladybeard cover "dust and shadows" for the show

decided to try the whole thing staying on the ska vibe instead of changing to rock on the bridge.

Ladybeard Lyrics

twisting from the inside out

unmasking all i knew of you

bleeding from you drowning shadow

sinking up from the ground

grasping at the night you-- sleep with me theres no tomorrow

you can not run from me

you have no legs to fly

you have no arms to crawl

in my arms you'll die

cling to my empty shell

you do not know the hell

im living through and giving you

in your arms I feel alive

when you're away a wanna die

all my tears are dust and shadows

you can not run from me

you have no legs to fly

you have no arms to crawl

in my arms you'll die

in my arms you'll die

in my arms you'll diiiiiie

Spill the love straight from your heart

feel the sheets all torn apart

shredded by your drowning shadows

sinking up from the ground

grasping at the night you-- sleep with me theres no tomorrow

you can not run from me

you have no legs to fly

you have no arms to crawl

in my arms you'll die

in my arms you'll die

in my arms you'll diiiiiie

Dust and Shadows - Bryan with just play along with the ska rhythm.

We are ending H-Bomb by Tom starting the chorus melody then ending on the 1234 echo end together

on roulette just do the regular chorus at the end 2 times, vocals back off a bit on the second one so the sax can solo.

End on the regular rhythm for the verses and stop.
