Welcome to Your (Doom of Clowns)

| What do you think? (3)
Category :

Earlier in the month I promised to deliver this here clown song, based on a line gifted to me by my son. "Welcome to your doom of clowns," he said. Really.

Until a few days ago I thought this was an acoustic number -- a vaguely Robert-Frippy 2/3 (or is it 4/6?) song about clowns. That was until I got some drum software (Fruity Loops -- highly recommended). And then my electric guitar came back from the shop. I hadn't played it in ages and -- well, you know how that goes.

So...the song is still about clowns. But acoustic, not so much. I'm hoping to get around to recording the acoustic version one of these days soon, but until then, please: play it loud.

time: 1:59 seconds; specs: 1.9 mb (creeping toward two full minutes I am....)
Press Play to play.

Update: The original vocal track was kinda messy and driving me nuts, so I replaced it this morn. New cleaned up version now posted, as of 10:22 am PST....

  • Daaag! That goes well with th emorning brew, and the whistling just will not leave my head...a classic that Lennon or the masters of reality wished they could have been a part of...more....

  • you made a great call with the switch to electric. the crowd will understand one day.

    also, best song yet; not said lightly.

    and, and so very train-y (love that in a song).

  • "Something's happening in this town" indeed! How you gonna keep 'em on the island when they've gone and had their electric guitars repaired??
