MC's new song "Econoblind"

[Troy]

MC sent me a CD with his new song on it called Econoblind.

It's a straight up rocker in the Aerosmith family. Except for the lyrics which (I think) are about economics.

A few comments on it.

I'd give it more bottom end density, especially in the opening section. Fatter fatter fatter!

I like the bridge and instrumental break. Especially the phased guitar picking lead in.

The lyrics keep it from taking itself too seriously which is a good thing. Can't tell ya the last time I heard the word "Stochastic" in a song.

It's a beauty. But I still like "Red Star" better.

This one was fun to put together.............. totally tongue-in-cheek.
Use meaning #2b.



stochastic (sto-kÃ*s´tîk) adjective
1. Of, relating to, or characterized by conjecture; conjectural.
2. Statistics. a. Involving or containing a random variable or variables: stochastic calculus. b. Involving chance or probability: a stochastic simulation.

I can only assume FA thinks it sux.

Can't please 'em all.............o-well.

Did I not post on this?
My sincerest apologies MC.
Quite the opposite is true. I think it's your best work yet.

I took it on one of my roadtrips. To make sure that I was listening to it in the proper context I took the whole WGP catalogue with me. I listened to Econoblind a few times and then listened to the rest of your songs, then put Econoblind back in. As Troy said...it rocks!

I have to admit that I didn't understand all the lyrical jargon, but from a musical perspective it's extremely well written and performed. And those drums! Well...it's a gimme that the drums made the song.

My next step is to put all your songs on one disk so that I have my own little WGP ep for my roadtrips.

Not only did I not review one of Troy's homemade discs, but I lost the fokker. He's dying (I think) to know what I think, and I don't have the heart to tell him I mislaid it.

Troy, if you're reading this, I know it's around somewhere and I'll review it as soon as I find it, whether you like it or not.

Thanx FA.............I was wondering WTF ?

The lyrics are literally greek if you didn't study econ & stat in college. I was trying to put together a song that utilized many of the laws, principles and buzz-words of econometrica and such. It evolved into a tongue-in-cheek description of a day-in-the-life of a frustrated state government economist (my day gig).

The singer asked me.........."How can I sing about all this crap if I have no idea what it means ?"
I told him that the words will be foreign to the listener and it is important to pronounce and enunciate very clearly..........that is all that is required. I have since tried to show him what I do at work so he has a better idea of the monster he helped to create.

The lead guitar player was given free reign to do whatever he wanted without me dictating (as I usually do) anything............he chose to play his parts that sound like a mix between Eddie van Halen and Billy Gibbons........he had just placed new ZZ-type pick-ups in his guitar and was feeling a bit of the Gibbons magic at that time.

Thanks again for the kind words.


And for you FP...........that is funny .......LMAO !
Do you feel better after that confession ??? LOL !

FP not withstanding, I sent out about 10 copies of The Van Allen Belt to people on this board and while a few people mentioned a thanks in passing for it, no one except for Dave G has said anything else about it. It's that bad, eh?

[MasterCylinder]

TROY...............I like it, dude.

I will admit though........I use it for background music at work.

I considered your "drive-all-night" influence and knew my use of the CD would be acceptable and approved by you.................thanx again for sending it along and keep up the good work.

Although you and I utilize very different means to produce music........it all still works.

[Troy]

It's not that I'm looking for approval as much as I'm looking for ways to improve it.

I'm such a lame brain sometimes. THANK YOU!!! I was pleasantly surprised to receive this disk from you since I hadn't received any of your previous self-made offerings. And how do I repay you for your kindness in thinking of me? Like Finch, I misplaced it before I could listen to it (she kicks the ground sheepishly).

There's no excuse for my behaviour. I received the disk at a really busy, hectic time and put it down somewhere to listen to it later. Now, I suspect, it's buried in a pile of CD's somewhere. I will dig it out and listen to it. I promise!

Please don't take my lack of response as not appreciating you sending this to me. It simply fell through the cracks. I'll make it up to you. Somehow. I promise.

Don't sweat it FA. Being a proggy type, I thought you might like it. If you find it, listen to it. If you don't find it, don't worry about it.

I didn't get a copy, so don't look at me. But then again, it would be just like me not to say anything. Or lose it like FP did. So I'll apologize anyway for not saying anything: sorry.

Are you sure you're not whining?
