What music are you listening to?

[promethean75]

Alright I've gone through everything Claypool has produced and/or been involved in and I've compiled a playlist of some of the best stuff of the sort that has a solid recognizable groove and isn't just some obscure bizarre cartoonish shit with ridiculous vocals... which there is much of throughout his music. Fortunately, the shit that jams, jams so hard, that the bad stuff is redeemed and tolerated as album filler material, therefore. In other words, he can afford to write the silly stuff, e.g., Of Fungi And Foe and Green Naugahyde (excepting Hennepin Crawler and Moron Tv of course), becuz he's done enough good stuff that's spread out over the albums.

If I forgot any good ones lemme know.

Note: I have not included all the great Floyd covers he's done... only Dogs. The Flying Frog Brigade and the Miscellaneous Debris album have this excellent material.

She feeds her face with cheddar balls
As my brain cells start to pop
She licks her fingers stares away
Her IQ slowly drops
I pry my eyes as best I can
From that big electric stain
She feeds her face with cheddar balls
And stuffs more nonsense in her brain


The sweet spot in Moron Tv. A totally unexpected change three quarters through that they carry for about a minute or so. U don't see that comin at all.

(That change actually starts at 2:35)

Just gimme a minute and I'll figure out what to do with that chord walk down I'm tryna work in there somehow. It doesn't sound right and if I wuzzint musically illiterate I would know why and I'd be like 'becuz bro the root of the fifth on the tonic isn't part of the natural tone of that seventh you're playing. I mean duh. Can't u hear it?'

Alright here's a simpler variation on that motif without the chord walkdown (which has got me fucked up cause I can't find the chords I'm tryna do).

[promethean75]

Meanwhile here's something kinda weird. I missed those second harmonics so it sounded like muted notes.

Start at 0:18 becuz I fucked up.

[promethean75]

Back to that other riff... here's uh nuther variation of that with that second chord (fuck if i know what it is) formation fretted twice more. All this sounds better than that ugly chord walk down i was getting lost in earlier. But go to 0:18 becuz i messed up.

Les Claypool
One Better
https://youtu.be/13bHgZPtJ7Q

Remember ol' Khrushchev when he was ridin' high
With that sputnik satellite
He told us Yankee boys, he's gonna fill the skies
With them shiny new satellites
He said, "Hey Mr. Eisenhower, whatcha think of my sputnik satellite?"
Well Ike reeled his head back
Looked him in the eye, "That's a mighty fine satellite"

But I'ma gonna get me one better

[promethean75]

Fun facts for the fans; that's actually Les on drums in One Better. Notice how it wasn't balls out like something Alexander or Lane would be playing?

Of Whales And Woe was produced at Rancho Relaxo in California.
