It Begins Well
January 30th, 2007
The Loop Station is a great tool for making a Get Help song, which features layers and layers of sound, like so much paint on a 50 year-old building in the East Village…say, mine. Paint so thick that you know the building will never fall.
Starting with a harmonic track that you can kinda hear in the back of the left side of your head, I built all these sounds rather quickly and then set to give them a decent recording. When I was most of the way through, I realize why it came so easily; it was very closely based on another song, a song whose name I won’t mention, so you can guess if you like. It’s kinda obscure, but I realize I’d heard it within the week, and that took a little joy out of piecing it together so quickly. So I guess this is from our Subconscious Cover Song files.
The line ‘missing man formation’ was the basis for the song; I think that’s something they fly at the end of Iron Eagle. Remember when hating Middle Eastern despots was easy?
The new Get Help site
January 1st, 2007
We have revised the site from its last incarnation. If you are one of the forty or so people who saw it last time, you might notice a slight difference. If you’re new to the site, please proceed in blissful ignorance of our hideous past. Download, share, and enjoy. Comments are welcome.
