Erich: sounds like it will be exciting. Its well known i am a johnny groupie....only without the sex part.

Karoliena: jake sounds like my type of people. An upright has such a great sound the electric bass just cant match. Slapping sounds cool on an upright. On an electric? It sounds like porn music...or worse:korn.

erich: just when you think this johnny cat cant get any better,he pulls this out of his trousers. if johnny fucked your mom,you'd thank him for the honor.


ooc:stab video gets extra points for including a clip of "manos the hands of fate". the band kinda reminds me of slim cessna's auto club.

erich: hmmm,looks like i'm a victim of my own banter. hell,i guess i'll have to agree. i dont want to be called a liar.

karoliena: i'd do your mom. she has that "morning excercise show host" look about her.

erich: uh,thats not my mom. my mom is a female elvis impersonator.

karoliena:.....oh.nevermind. that is just getting weird.....then again,she does fill out that jumpsuit pretty well.

erich: off to a cracking good start,id say. i dont work out for fear of being labeled a misfits rip off....and the whole being lazy thing. i must say i like this even more than meddling kids. somthing about roots music with a twist gets me going. oh,and yup mom is an elvis impersonator. needless to say,i have a very complex relationship with mr presley.

karoliena: picture a slightly younger dolly parton i a jumpsuit.

We're testing the waters and trying out some different sounds. Blues, alt. rock/country, indie pop, and stuff. Reaching out into different wave lengths that wasn't the norm in TMK standards. I like what we're doing so far. These three new tunes for this single has been called "Songs For Maria" who I won't divulge information on. Some things should be left in the past where they are. But it was a time of learning, mistakes, and growing all on the part of a girl I used to know. Well the two songs are for her. That last one is a punk rock tune by the misfits with some blazing harmonica done by yours truly.

1. Everywhere

Call this an excuse to use my harmonica to play on a track. But it wasn't just that. The duel guitar parts on this song is what really ties the entire tune together. But it's the lyrics that are the coup de gras. We all have that one person that we can never escape. Because you had so much feeling for them that they are in almost every thing you do, every where you go, every thing you see. Literally every where.

Listen:

Everywhere

2. Maria

Little echo's of harmonica in the back ground and some fuzzy distorted guitars for effect makes for an awesome song. Beautiful indie pop goodness is what resulted from this. Perfect harmonies and a nice intro riff. Everything was there and spot on for this one including the lyrics which I keep mysterious for mystery's sake. Though I wonder if she ever hears it.

Lyrics:

centuries have passed
and even though I want it to I know that it won't last
it was good to me before
the good got up and went when you went out the door

so I said goodbye
even though I know I'll die
I said goodbye to my maria

it's not important to me now
at least that's what I tell myself
when I am feeling down
I'm not in love enough to stay
but I'm in love enough to know that I should go away

so I said goodbye
even though I know I'll die
I said goodbye to my maria
I hollered and
said goodbye to my maria

so I said goodbye
even though I know I'll die
I said goodbye to my maria
I hollered and
said goodbye to m-a-r-i-a

Sounds Like:

This

3. I Turned Into A Martian

I gurantee you the guitar work and blazing harmonica solo on this will knock your fucking socks off. You've never heard The Misfits like this before. You can thank me later.

Johnny: Thanks. I appreciate the compliment.

erich: i love it. its like smearing your taint with cheese whiz and running through a rat farm.

karoliena: times like this really make me question my romantic choices in life.

erich: that is the mark of sincerity. anyone can,and will say," this is great music". then turn around and start slagging you. when a person says they will run through a rat farm with cheese on their undet bits....that is a compliment you can take to the bank.

ooc: spiffy start.

Outlaw-

1. Intro

I justed wanted a creepy introduction and it was spot on. Listening to it does it more justice.

You hear footsteps move through a creaky old floor. Big, heavy footsteps that thump on the floor when they move. The creak of a screen door fills the air and rattles hard as it clatters shut. The feet thump across the porch and a body thuds into a rocking chair that begins to move back and forth.

"Well hello there folks. Nice of you to stop by. Don't get much visitors up this way, on account of the stories of all the killing and rituals that supposedly go on round these parts. No, no. Not here. I just tell stories and tales of the sort to keep people like you entertained. The tales and yarns you are about to here are curious one's. Cowboys, outlaws, drinkers, gamblers, and other miscreants are the order of the day. Saloons, the prairie, the road, and other dusty out of the way places are the setting. Not for the weak of heart or the ill of stomach. Some may chill and others delight. But a story can't be told without a proper introduction and beginning ain't that true?"


2. Stab

We had fun with this song. I mean every psychopath has to come from somewhere right? Enjoyed taking this from the single we released and throw it on the album. There was a little mixing involved but not too much change going on. It's one of those tunes that just sounded good that way it was. We tweaked it just a little bit but basically left it alone. Don't you just love that chorus? "Stab once!" I gurantee it'll get stuck in your head.

3. Mind Your Tongue

Imagine a bunch of cowboys sitting a saloon somewhere. Then some kid with a mouth starts running his mouth about how much of a bad ass he is. Saying this and that about how he's going to do this, that, and whatever with his chest all puffed out. Like he's got something to prove and people to impress. When all he's doing is just blowing smoke out of his ass and annoying everybody else. Then he has to pick a fight with the one guy in the place that's sick of his shit and not saying a word because he figures the jackass will realize he's not impressing people and either sit down or leave. But this guy keeps going and Jimmy Badass starts talking shit to Johnny Takenoshit because he's not paying attention to Johnny and his chest puffing while verbally writing him off. This is when the trouble starts and somebody ends up bleeding. Also if you're wondering if this song addresses that one kid Alex Vanity or whatever the hell he calls himself. You're right.

I was sittin' in the bar room.
Just mindin' my own. When some
little punk sum bitch kept
raggin' on me and wouldn't
just leave me alone.

I said kid I don't got
no time for your bullshit.
You're barking at the wrong
dog and you're gonna get bit.
But he just kept struttin'
all about. So I said boy,
you better mind your tongue.
Before I cut it out.

(Chorus)
Mind your tongue!
I'm getting really tired of this.
Mind your tongue!
Matter of fact I'm starting to get pissed.
Mind your tongue!
Get out of my face with what you're shooting your mouth off about.
Mind your tongue!
Before I cut it out.

So he just keeps on talking.
Getting in my face until I've had enough.
I pull out my knife. I'm not taking no more guff.
The kid just jumped, screamed, and kept on commencing to shout.
That's when I reached back at his tongue and cut the fucker out.

(Chorus)
Mind your tongue!
I'm getting really tired of this.
Mind your tongue!
Matter of fact I'm starting to get pissed.
Mind your tongue!
Get out of my face with what you're shooting your mouth off about.
Mind your tongue!
Before I cut it out.

You should've heard him squeal when all
that blood dripped from his mouth and
spilled on the floor. Crying like a
little girl as he left on both his feet.
But I followed that little bastard out
the door and shot him dead in the street.

As I went back inside he heard me say,

(Chorus)
Mind your tongue!
I'm getting really tired of this.
Mind your tongue!
Matter of fact I'm starting to get pissed.
Mind your tongue!
Get out of my face with what you're shooting your mouth off about.
Mind your tongue!
Before I cut it out.

4. Country Radio (That You Hank?) w/ hidden track from TMK

Based on a true story that happened to me and my Grandad when we were heading through Montgomery, Alabama. Home of the late great Hank Williams. We were just talking about how great of a song writer he was and how much he meant to country music. Then I started playing a little bit on my guitar when the radio on the bus popped on out of nowhere. "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive" started playing clear as day. Then my Grandad looked over then said "That you Hank?" and I figured Hank was wanting to chime in from beyond the grave to join in on the song we were playing. Real eerie experience to be honest. We set the track up really as an experimental piece that sounded like music fading into radio static. Messing around with the steel guitar and playing that real honky tonkish type stuff that Hank did. Just having it fade in and out with some samples of Hank Williams songs thrown in. At the end we took our narrator fella from the beginning and had him mess with the radio tuning. You can hear him switching through the dials a little before he goes "Those damned meddling kids messing with my radio." That was when we threw in our nice little hidden tune to treat the fans to a little musical medicine if they'd been missing us. You're welcome. Just letting you know this thing isn't over. Because rumors have been floating around that this separation was starting to look permanent. Nice little slow song to fit the mood we were playing with.

Here it is:

Slow Dancing

ooc: gonna finish this in another day or two. However please read!
