I decided to do a song in honor of the 10th anniversary of Chainsaw Guy this week, after creating the 100th episode of the comic. My original idea was to have a video game sounding melody over heavy guitars. The timing of the melody ended up too weird for me to play guitar to, so I faked it with a distorted synth. You’ll have to read the comic to understand why I did the vocals the way I did.
I was explaining the concept behind The Bad Felt to a friend the other day, and told her that we tend to pick darker songs from Sesame Street. She was surprised that there were any dark songs on Sesame Street. I told her that Count songs and Grouch songs tend to work the best. This is a Grouch song.
I liked the sound of the electronic cover of Carbona not Glue so much, that I decided to retoractively call it a Hitmaker Algorithm song, and do a whole Hitmaker Algorithm album of classic punk covers. This will also come in handy when the baby is born, and I need to mostly do songs on autopilot. This is another song I’d been wanting to cover for a while, so this was a good excuse to finally do it. I have a few other songs in mind, but I’m looking for requests of other songs people would like to hear me do.
The Hitmaker Algorithm – Search and Destroy (Iggy and the Stooges cover) by thenemesis
This song comes off a little jokey, but it’s actually really sincere. This has been one of my biggest fears for almost as long as I’ve been married.
The Nemesis – You’re Gonna Die (A Love Song) by thenemesis
Also, not including The Bad Felt, this is the first song I’ve recorded guitars for since May! What?!?
Between the holiday on Monday and jury duty on Wednesday, this has been a really short and weird week for me. I almost forgot I needed to start a song yesterday. Also, as the song explains, it’s been really hot here the last few days.
This ended up a lot closer to last week’s song than I expected to do any time soon. It’s all original music and vocals, but still pretty similar on a couple levels.
