Roadkill Buttsteak (and Dillo) 8: "Dust" b/w "The Cruel Seas"

Hey gang--

What the?....  It's actual original RKBS rock-style music on the RKBS site!  Plus special guest!  These songs have been getting done (i.e., sitting around mostly) for over a year, goddarnit, so let's get to the point. 

For these and the remainder of the bunch, Mikey made a visit up to the Harpswell Estate in Dec '12 (!?), at which point we ran through things real fast, like, and laid down the guitar and drum tracks as we usually do. Then we beamed the electonical files down to Paul R. Cardillo's forested hideout down in the outskirts of Chapel Hill, NC, whereupon Paulie applied the secret sauce of low-end goodness.  Back came those bass files to me, and I put the rest of the garbage on top.  That's when the mostly-lying-fallow business commenced in earnest, punctuated by many small mixing sessions, a.k.a. rearranging the deck chairs.

Some of the set has been posted to the SoundCloud page for a bit, so these might not be fresh-picked for all of you, listening public, but I believe they're new to the RKBS site, so off you go!  Make up your own story about these here cuts, and let me know if anything comes up on your Spot-the-Influence-o-Meters.  We were shooting for a couple general aural goals that I think we got kinda/ sorta near, and I have my own theories as to the wordy parts...
