Vessel. dfk. Hey, it was the 80's.
« on: May 19, 2009, 10:30:19 AM »
Since I have neither pride nor shame left, I am offering up this website that just recently went up, containing a number of songs from my college band.

My favorite song of these was Alabaster Mansions, though, sadly, it doesn't get a real good mix here. As I suggested in the subject, it was the 80's. I wrote the music for about half of these. I can't tell you which ones; I don't even remember them (though that's certainly me sawing away on the guitar.) I only sang once; it was not captured on tape, thank God; I was singing the Neil Young part on the chorus of "Ohio" at a small club show.

We were trying to meld limited musical skills with religious songs that bent politically to the left, and have it be successful in Knoxville.

While I am a little wincy about many of these musical moments, it was a good time for me, and I remember it all fondly. If you read the description of the group (written by a guy who was not a member of the group, but has a musical thing going on to this day,) those shirts really were pretty cool.

I kinda liked the one I song I listened to.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Sounds like Hüsker Dü. Your band would have fit in well at SST.

Seriously. I don't know why Dave would be ashamed. It sounds quite good.

This trip down memory lane only gets more and more horrifying.

Left to right, I am in the center, as it should be.

More importantly, do you still own that shirt?

Were you intimidated by that guy's chest hair?
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Nah. It's just a cool shirt.

The humiliation continues; a song from a concert has been posted (I think it said 1981). It's available on Facebook, I will try to see if I can get one of my minions to get it to a more accessible place. Or you can friend me on Facebook; mention that you're FOT.
