How about another Garden Weasel post? Am I being an ego freak by posting my own band? Actually I thought the band itself ripped, they probably could have done better by another singer. I have no memory because of too much drugs and drinking, so remembering lyrics was really tough. My rythme sucks and I can't dance except to run around in circles, not that we were ever called upon to dance on stage. Like I said though the band ripped and this last recording has some of my favorite songs that we ever did. We continued to do the song Criminal in my next band Grout but I'll save that for another post. As usual with a Garden Weasel post I must ask you to go check my links and click on Dead Ed. He has a much better memory than I do and a better way with words. Heres what he had to say about this recording,
"As with most of our recording sessions, things don't go exactly as planned or sound the way they should, but we hammer through our tunes. "Smerb" is a play on the words "Some Herb" (stoners til the end...at least until the end of the band). "Ant Hell" is a comparison of our society with an ant hill. "Air, Water,Food" was all you really needed to live. "Criminal" was a rumination about feeling guilty about life, even if you played it by the rules. And "Can't Find my Smokes" was just fucking hilarious - Steve often wrote the funniest songs in our catalog. The songs came out alright, but were definitely rushed and sloppy. Still, we worked hard and tried to make the best of our final hurrah. This would be the last day that the four of us would be in a room together."
Kind of a sad ending to a very fun band. Anyone heard from Boner? I worry about him every time I read or see something on the war. Anyway Ed kindly passed this recording on to me and now it's in my library. At least give Criminal and Smerb a listen.
