Stay, sad little boy, Just be friends, be your girl, Check yes, Better half...all done, so many songs...DONE... and now we are in the middle of finishing instrumentation for the Pancake song, many of you know and love this song live. it is the one that Ciaran Makepeace of the Makepeace brothers usually plays on the cajon with me for...
...remember?
Anywho, we added in the guitar 4 bars of instrumental break figuring we would add something awesome...
nothing. we got nothing.
Justin just whipped out a trumpet and a trombone neither of which he knows how to play, and I'll tell you, it's harder than it looks, especially in C Sharp which I stupidlly wrote this song in.
I tried beat boxing, rapping, and even just carrying on laughter through the whole 4 bars. All 3 of these ideas sucked almost as bad as Justin's trumpet skills.
So we;ve blown through options... There is a shaker on this song, and stops and claps in the final chorus' .... weve already used piano, kazoo, whistles, even glockenspeil on other songs so we're running out of weird crap to put on this album.
we are leaning towards Sax, we have one... can't be too hard to learn, right?
We suck.
HARMONIUM!!! I think that is the thing. Lisa Hanningan uses it on Keep it All. I don't know why, but it sucks ya in. And the Melodica is neat too. Plus, you don't suck! There are lots of sucky people and you totally don't count!
