More Big Band News

OK - Chris put up the new Century of Progress tracks - y'all get yourselves some. Cousin Mike just upchucked...er, uploaded a new (reissued) fB track to garageband. Here's what people think:

Mr. Santoni Man?
Are these the guys that wrote Mr. Santoni Man? The pots and pans being played are quite intriguing. Are they 10 inch or 14 inch pots? The lyrics about Howard Stern are a bit pointless, but I love the line about hitting someone on the head with a fish. Whoever reviews this review....THESE ARE ACTUALLY PARTS OF THE SONG!!!! I think this band is insane, but I admire their gumption.

Bass solo take 1
The tone on the bass reminds me of Old Cliff Burton from Metallica. Tis sounds like a very fun recording. I like the innovative banging goin on like pots and pans or dumbells or somethin. The singer is on all kinds of drugs for sure. The singer sounds like the circus ringleader. This is really interesting to listen to.
It's pretty strange.
Hit you on the head with a big ol fish!
It reminds me of the guy who fights the Mongolians on southpark who screams about sweet and sour pork!

Give it back, man!!
Remember when guitars used to soothe the soul? Anyone from Neil Young to the Sex Pistols use to change the world with a swift strum of the old axe. Tom Waits wants his pipes back and I want my love of guitar sounds back!!

Amateurish At Best
Seems like nothing more than a poorly recorded attempt at avant weirdness, it just came off as sloppy and crude. Rhythmically, it was awkward and didn;t quite gel, and the vocalist sounded like he was trying to impersonate Jello Biafra.

Nice try but missed by a mile.

Very Experimental
I like lots of types of experimental music but this type isnt really my kind. The repetitive percussion and grating vocal doesnt do anything for me. I did like the acoustic guitar at the beginning and end and the vocal effects at the coda of the song. The simple guitar riff running throughout the song is catchy. It the song changed direction even once at least then it could have been a more interesting piece, in my opinion.

More idea than song
Mix could be cleaned up a bit unless you are going for the older vintage tone. Although different, I like the pots and pans drums. Not impressed with the lyrics. Sounds like something the Residents or the Violet Femmes would do. The song is too long to not have any signifigant changes.
