State Shirt - "Suffer Someday" (live looping)

I've been playing around with a new live setup that includes a couple drums and keyboards, as well as guitar and my usual effects and looper pedals. I just wrote this song yesterday, still not 100% sure on the song title yet. I set up all of my crap in the kitchen and recorded a little live performance. Hope you like it.

Here are the lyrics:

broken arms, shattered dreams
roots are growing all around
bugs are crawling in your ears
you may not ever learn

it wasn't supposed to go like this
the real reason you left me here
kill off all your last years

you keep on running,
you'll suffer someday.

throw away all the knives
call the doctor
broken glass
cracked linoleum
little red splash

Another nice track!

Rick Walker here from the Y2K Loop Fest.

For your drum tracks , here's a great trick (I'm a professional drummer):

tune the top head of your floor tom down very low and then glue a circle of

naugahyde directly to the drum head............it makes a killer , sort of TR-808 sounding kick drum sound. You can tune the drum very low.......it won't sound like a floor tom at all. Keep up the beautiful music. Rick

ps you can even do this trick with a 12" or 14" rototom.

@looppool thanks for the tip, I'll try it out!!

THE GREATEST COVER OF ALL TIME,PERFECTION

[sonicattack77]

that was painful (in a good way) you are very rare talent, i think a good name for the song would be "GO" as it seems (to me) about things leaving :0(

i stumbled upon yourself looking at looping Vids & wow what a fantastic find :0)

i have a number of looping devices and take great pleasure in them, i find creating sound a great outlet :0)

Really really enjoying ss. Found you through. Check out my side project Tanned Vampire when you can. Myspace.com/tannedvampire. It's super orchestral layers of electronica and symphony that I think you'll like. I've been really digging into your stuff and feel like I found a like mind! Cheers!
