Hey Thundercloud
There was
a summer that some people were in really bad moods, but not me, so I had
a temper tantrum about it. This one features Brendan’s world debut on the
violin. It’s a real live violin which belongs to Jeff Canfield, who
now lives in Columbus Ohio where he does physics and things, and we found
it in my mom’s garage. There’s also timpani and a 96” bass drum (well,
maybe a little smaller than that) which Brendan cut at UIUC and real piano
cut at his mom’s in St. Louis. We have a mini-version called “Hey
Thunderdome” which sounds like it would if we were playing your prom and
you were outside on the lawn making out or smoking or whatnot. We
had planned to record someone walking around and opening the gymnasium
door and maybe whispering, but we went out for dinner instead. That’s
the fate of so many great recording ideas. |
