The Ecstasy of Mallard

Friday, November 7th, 2008

I just finished a new song called The Ecstasy of Mallard.  Please, would you take a moment to go and listen to it and tell me what you think?

Here is the story behind this song: Yesterday I was telling Kevin, aka Mr. Spider, that at my shows I was plannin to choose an audience member and ask them to suggest a song for me to sample. I would then choose another audience member to suggest a topic I would write about, and for the next show I would have a song written about the topic using samples from the suggested song.

So Kevin challenged me to do a proof of concept.  And this is the result.

Here are the lyrics:

When I think about Bergmann I think about you
cause your polar forms are small and their beaks are small too
A lot of you are gay and if you’re gay I guess it’s true
that your heads are on straight and they’re green and not blue
Your offspring are precoccial and I kinda like that
They can swim and feed themselves and I think that’s pretty phat
What I don’t understand is why you copulate with corpses
I no longer wanna touch you
If I have to I’ll use forceps

Mallard babies
They’ll follow you wherever you go
They’ll follow you if they don’t know you
Mallard babies
They’ll follow you with crackers in your hand
They’ll even try to eat a frog if they can

You’re so recently evolved
that you still hybridize
with ducks from a different genus
If your problems get solved
while I’m still alive
no one will believe us

Mallard babies
They’ll follow you wherever you go
They’ll follow you if they don’t know you
Mallard babies
They’ll follow you with crackers in your hand
They’ll even try to eat a frog if they can

Three Ninjas Live!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Ok, here’s the audio from my show.  Let me know if there are problems with the files. I tried to upload a zip, but that wasn’t working for some reason.

Also, yeah, we messed up a lot.  And I completely screwed up the beginning of the first song.  It happens.  No one there even noticed though!

I have to thank my good friend Ron Eddy for doing me the favor of recording this.  Ron used a small digital voice recorder with a condenser microphone and recorded from the crowd.  We paid the venue $20 for a recording of the show made from the board, and Ron’s version blows the board’s version out of the freaking water.  So thanks Ron!

Three Ninjas Live: Reviewed!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

As most of you know, I performed my first live show as Three Ninjas last Wednesday night.  I’ve been waiting until I got the video and audio uploaded to mention it here, but my friend Chris Harris The Purple Fool has already reviewed it!

He also described my music as “not necessarily what you’d call ‘accessible’ at all times”.  Cool!

Oh Look, It’s Boon Doc on His MPC1000

Monday, October 20th, 2008

I get the feeling that most of the people who read this site aren’t into beat making, but that’s ok, because this website is about stuff I like, and I like Boon Doc!

More Boring Music Stuff

Friday, September 19th, 2008

This is me using Ableton Live on my MPD32. Now I’m cool!

Yeah, not really.

Something I’m Interested In

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

As I’m sure you’re tired of hearing, I love to make music, especially with samplers.  One of my favorite people on Earth is Boon Doc, a hip hop producer in Denver.

Here is Boon Doc doing his thing.

Another New Three Ninjas Song!

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

I’m not too impressed with this song, but it is relevant to what we discuss on this website.  It features a lengthy clip of a guy making stuff up about science!

So go to the Three Ninjas MySpace page and listen to my new song, Who Indeed, and let me know what you think.

The Wenatchee Pterodactyl

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Yes, that’s right. I just uploaded a brand new Three Ninjas song. Three Ninjas is my “stage” name, for those who don’t know. “Stage” is in quotes because Three Ninjas has never actually been on a stage.

Anyway, go the official Three Ninjas MySpace page and check out my new song, The Wenatchee Pterodactyl. Please let me know what you think OR ELSE WHAT (see how I preempted your response? Brilliant.).

Big ups go to Geoff “Geoff” Gibbs for playing guitar and making sounds on the Trigger Finger, Tangentbot for making additional sounds on the Trigger Finger, and The Crazy Boy Floyds for allowing me to sample a song of theirs called Space Age Childhood Anthem, which is one of my favorites songs ever, on this planet and every other planet you know of.

Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Last Saturday I went to see a Seattle-based band called Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. They’re a great and fun band, and you should listen to their music! As evidence I offer you this video I took of their final song, Ice Age Babeland. As always, I apologize for the horrible sound quality.
