The Whiskers
http://whiskers.tumblr.com/page/2
March 23, 2011 at 10:40pm. Rough Track #8: Grownups. We used a message board to discuss the songs as they were being constructed. Here are some excerpts concerning the latest mix of Grownups compared to the very first version of Grownups, found here:. I’m not the only one that thinks grownupsrough1 is the best. I sent grownupsROUGH1.mp3 as just grownups.mp3 to a buddy of mine: "hey listen to this tell me what you think.“ [attached: grownups.mp3]. GrownupsROUGH1 is a Dr. Pepper. You ruined my metaphor.

The Whiskers - Rough Track #11: Heat Death

April 9, 2011 at 11:03am. Rough Track #11: Heat Death. Full disclosure: this song was started by a chord change randomizer on the internet. Those chords were then rearranged a bit and then assembled into this mix, underneath the only vocal take ever recorded for this song:. I don’t know. Next week: very first Whiskers song and some important news! Larr; Next post.

The Whiskers - Rough Track #12: Roses
http://whiskers.tumblr.com/post/4582202576/rough-track-12-roses
April 13, 2011 at 12:27pm. Rough Track #12: Roses. I don’t know why, but on December 1st of 2006, I spent my evening writing a song called Roses. I programmed the drums and synth in a few hours and wrote the lyrics and melody in about a half hour. I recorded a bunch of takes and mixed it and thought it was good, but it needed bass. This is that first mix that nabbed the rest of the band and started The Whiskers:. So that’s it. That’s all the “premixes” we have for you. Reblogged this from whiskers.

The Whiskers - Rough Track #7: Ornithopters
http://whiskers.tumblr.com/post/4054868593/rough-track-7-ornithopters
July 27, 2011 at 12:09pm. Rough Track #7: Ornithopters. A few days after The Distorted Historian was released, Jim and I started shaping some of Jim’s riffs and progressions into a fast-slow-fast song. It was 8 or 9 minutes long but it seemed right. So once that structure was finalized I spent a while writing lyrics and a melody and recorded this:. There might have been something that came before this, but let’s just say this is the very first version, and it’s dated May 7th, 2008. Larr; Next post.

The Whiskers - Rough Track #10: Sails
http://whiskers.tumblr.com/post/4379826713/rough-track-10-sails
April 5, 2011 at 9:19pm. Rough Track #10: Sails. Back in college, I hung around this music venue in a basement. One of the bands that opened a show there did a little number called, “The Old Ship of Zion.” Well, that old spiritual never sounded so defeated and dirgey and I loved it, all while they went on playing it for too long, and then they just kept on singing: “Is that the ooooooooooold… ship of ziiiiioooooooooon… I seeeeeeeeeeeeee? Rdquo; for a good three minutes and oh boy was that a showstopper.

April 14, 2011 at 11:35pm. Music is no longer being made by the band called The Whiskers. War of Currents was their final release. Though: members of The Whiskers will continue to make music, and you can find them in several bands on a soon-to-be-updated thewhiskers.com. A one-for-the-road show is being considered and planned. We’ll let you know. It would be in Rochester, NY. Thank you for listening. Said: Well now that sucks. Said: I would for sure come if you guys made it to Vancouver! Larr; Next post.
