Radio Spam, pre-programmed.
Hooray for the new practice space! We converted half of my garage into a studio / jam room / awesome place and here’s the video to prove it. This is “Radio Spam” from last year’s EP. We also learned a song from Nick’s Daily Song Blog and I’ll be posting that soon as well.
Money, honey.
We ain’t got no money honey we’ve just got a huffy hog. Thinking of a release date for the upcoming hollygorock LP. OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OMGZ!?!
You are in the know
The Daily Song project is going swimmingly! Just looking at the statistics I can see that more people have listened to “Days of the Week” all the way through than any other hollygorock song on the site. I like this! It’s my favorite, too. Shaddix likes it. Obviously I didn’t write a new song every night last week. Think of it as an on-going experiment in deadlines and melody mining. More songs to come!
The time was 9:30pm and I had nothing. So I threw together my attempt at a children’s song called “Days of the Week” and it’s probably the weirdest song I’ve ever written. Here are the words!
Running so late on a Monday.
Running so late on a Tuesday.
Running so late on a Wednesday.
Running so late on a Thursday.
Running so late on a Friday.
Running late, running late, running late!
Gotta take a shower, gotta take a shower, gotta take a shower, gotta take a shower.
Running late, running late, running late!
Gotta take a shower, gotta take a shower, gotta take a shower, gotta take a shower.
Not running out of time anymore.
I have lots of time to find the door.
Not running out of time anymore.
My alarm went off just before four minutes of 10.
It’s Saturday!
It’s Sunday…
Play It Again, Samwise
So, the chords to “Marketing” had been around for a few months. This particular demo has been around since 9/29/2005. It was supposed to be something for Stop The Revolution but we never did anything with it. Kati just listened to it and says it’s her favorite! Here’s what I originally wrote about it when I first emailed it to stoptherev:

Jash and Kate, here’s a little something I made this afternoon, it’s a little demo of something new. Poppy and sort of new wave, the chorus is in a weird timing, like 10, but lots of melodies possible with it all. You might recognize part of it Josh, I think you’ve heard it before, but it’s sped up and more poppy. Let me know what you think of it and we might want to use it for stoptherev. It needs a couple more parts, but I thought I’d go ahead and post the chorus and verse with the cheesy keyboard drums so you’d get an idea of where I was going with it. Word.
