Ghost Train RadioTen Tin Heads
Ten Tin Heads hide
In shadows they lurk
They come out at night
That's when they work
They steal metal shovels
They steal metal rakes
If it's not bolted down
Then that's what they take
Their lust and greed
Smelted down from tin
Their pointy metal heads
Their creepy little grins
They say that they are DJs
They say they play the hits
Then smack you real hard
On the places that you sit
They won't play my songs
They won't play my rhymes
They lack common sense
And commit many crimes
When they're not lurking
At night in the dark
I'll play my music
And climb up the charts
Chorus
Tin Heads
Steel eyes
At the mic
At radio KRY
in a nutshell
- The KRY theme just won’t quit
- I found out some doll heads used to be made out of tin
- Its always fun writing about pure nonsense
discussion
Guitar, Cello, Piano, Solina and vocals. I started working on my mixing. I think I need to work on this one some more. I record everything in stereo using an SE Electronics SE7 small diaphragm Mic and a VR2 Active Ribbon mic. I need to look at each stereo track and maybe pick one of the two. I seem to have some phasing issues – and low noise rumble – especially on the Cello.
I also need to re-record the vocals. Its funny how you need to sing a bunch of times to flesh out the vocal melody – its quite different than playing a melody on one instrument. You need to fit your voice and it’s inflection and accents accordingly.
theme
Pure nonsense, fantasy, dada
conclusion
My daily dose of fun. I’ve been playing open chords on the guitar and changing one note in the chord to see what progressions I can come up with. Laying down a rough mix, then listening and re-recording (at least the vocals) seems to be a good workflow.
