So at the tail end of last year's Harpswell Hootenanny (which is at long last next up in the queue to post), after everybody had fled or the turnstiles, Mr. Dillo and took to the basement in the morning before he had to fly out of the Portland Int'l Jetport. Having listened to a fair amount of garage-pop lately (the Reigning Sound, Gentleman Jesse and such), I'd had vague ideas for a couple of pop-rock songs in the slow cooker, so we started with a few chords and a hummed "blah-blah-blah". Within an hour or so, we'd not only knocked together a bit more melody, some verse/ chorus/ bridge structure and some dynamics, but also gotten guitar and drum tracks committed to "tape". Now everything's been relatively purtied up and patched up now. Sure, the B-side might regain life with some alteration to the lyrics but I'm OK with the A-side as it stands. Plus, we recorded an instrumental of Dillo's that will emerge like a butterfly someday. All in all, a good morning's work!
