Reptile

Here's a recording I made this evening. The song is called Reptile, one of the numbers we're doing with my band, Sixorange. The lyrics were written by Mark Theis, music by yours truly. I also sampled a recording posted on freesound by sagetyrtle (that's the howling wind you hear at the beginning and end of the track). I used my trusty old Samson USB condenser mic for both guitar and vocals. I'm not very happy with the quality of the latter but it's only a demo, it'll do. Oh, by the way, I did get a little carried away, as I sometimes do, and hadn't noticed how late it was. I have a rather "civilized" neighbour who believes that the best way to let me know that I'm too loud is to turn up his stereo, thereby ensuring that everyone gets their fair share of late night entertainment in the building. And he has to have horrible taste judging by the stuff he puts on. (Luckily, my mic didn't pick up his crap oompah techno record :)...) Anyway, dude, if you ever read this, next time you hear me banging away on my acoustic and howling at the moon, feel free to ring my doorbell and tell me to shove it face to face. I ain't gonna bite you...
