Today’s choice jam:
Santana-like guitar solos + space Casio beat + horrible “I wish I could be Tom Waits but I’m soooooooooooo not” vocals = Monday trip to awesometown.
For the record, you wouldn’t believe how many demos feature very similar vocals. Every bad dude with an acoustic guitar and a shitty voice amps up the the shitty in an attempt to be Waits or Dylan. To those dudes: Face it. A) you’re not them, and B) those dudes caught lightning in a bottle, and it’s happened twice in 40 years, so take some singing lessons, get a lead singer that’s not you, or learn how to rap.
BTW - to address the “you should let people download tracks” comments - We try really hard on this blog to keep the songs and their unfortunate makers anonymous (though we know people figure it out sometime. That’s the internet for you.) Thus, allowing downloads of the mp3s seems counterintuitive - it would be hard to hide the metadata, and you could just shazam the track or something to find out the artist. I know it’s not rocket science, but don’t hate us for our laziness and weird reasoning, ok? There are plenty of other things to be pissed at us for…
