I know what you’re thinking…hence the title of this blog…no but really, you’re thinking that I’m never going to get to the “world music in my basement” project. Yeah, you’re probably right. NO! No you’re not. Ahem…Anyway, here is yet another track from recent ancient history:
So this is a lot longer than the stuff I typically post. Not sure why I recorded it so long. I think I was going for that background soundtrack kinda feel. Again, it’s me playing a heavily “effected” guitar to a lengthy drum beat I composed on my SR-16. If you are resilient enough to get to the end, you may notice that the ending beat is the inspirattion for the music in the “Punk Sorry White Boy” post.
It is not for the ADD set as it seems to go on forever…that is until it gets close to the end where it kicks into a sort of trip-hop crazybeat. Yes, like the 4 Roosevelt Street post from a little while back, this was from 1997(ish) when I was listening to a lot of Underworld and moping about my college raver girlfriend leaving New York and going back to Tampa.
Little did I know that I would meet my eventual wife soon…I love you sweetie.
ENJOY!
Hey, I did restring my Balalaika! So maybe the world music from my basement project will start with that!
You’ll just have to wait and see. Don’t hold your breath, please.
(Seriously…don’t. I can’t be held responsible for your lack of oxygen.)
Let me know if you think “my eventual wife” is a good name for a band.

I like the piece, although I’d probably agree it goes on a hair longer without variance than it should.
“My Eventual Wife” as a name for which band?
