Introducing conrad birdie;
essentially double nickels
with Wayne and some musical chairs action.
Wayne is from leapfrog and does drums,
at the Alan level;
Michael from double nickels did the great bass work.

Instant hits are what we do best at 322. You know it.

PERFECTION AT LAST!
I think Frances, Eugene and even Kurt would agree, this captures and communicates the spirit of this classic. This is one of the sounds I always wanted to be a part of and now I am, eff you if you don't bandcamp it or book us, post a comment; this stuff rules, THANKS TO GOD!

Oh you poor, lucky, listener; this is a sound like no other;
and you get to listen to it in a very poor format;
in fact you've been able to obtain it, in a variation,
for free.

While this is a good thing, it's also a thing of the past.
Anything of worth eventually leads to be something of cost;
so enjoy while it's still on sale.

here in the summer time


I'm not gonna (don't you dare) apologize for the frequency and intensity of fervor of which music is shared here; original music; you haven't heard this before. Looking for something new? looking for something inspired and unpretentious, something that has survived the test of time and can change your life?
It's right here. The message, beat, tone,persona and image of the songs and tracks found here are that and then some; tall, dark, and handsome.

Welcome; this is the summer of 2010.

This week will be week one

phader



I totally went back in time on this one.
I became a confused young man again.
Micheal's bassline brought me back to that place.
Dreamy and not really cognizant of more than a few weeks ahead.
Blurry visions of the beyond the current season. Hope. Faith.
It could happen.
I had no idea of what it took, I just sacrificed and sacrificed.
Laboring in obscurity, in a town that didn't understand.

But now, I know a bit better.
I'm in that same town, and it's little better.
And I'm a little older.

Still laboring for the one day, still hoping and praying.
Does this have a chance?

Would it help if an ear was sacrificed?
Calm down, it's all predestined. Don't trouble yourself.
It's already done, just keep going thru the steps.

Fucking love this track for so many reasons. It's all upbeat and shit,
you can hear cool Micheal's cite from memory the name of the track,
we're totally bros.

I normally don't use expletives here on the blog
and I won't going forward
but I won't edit these out either - they are there for emphasis.

This song is about youthful, lustful rocknroll.
About scoring time with a girl way out of your league, because she digs your music.

Part of the fantasy of any one who's ever strapped on an electric guitar and stood in front of a crowd.

PS - I'm watching the downloads and I'm crossed,
I haven't paid for music besides vinyl and shows in years
so why should I expect you to?

I'll easter egg free links from time to time
and of course if I don't think the track it totally balls I won't BC it.

But if I BC it and want your buck, sort it out,
because so much is put into this. Think of it as a tip jar more than anything.

Thanks.

a mixdown of a real caresser. Meant to soothe and relax the worried mind.
A gentle breeze if you will.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Recorded at 322 on 7/21/10 - photo from same session, mixed down on the morning of 7/23/10.
So much more ahead, haste does indeed make waste, calm your mind.

Haste makes waste, so am I totally wasted or right on time?


Tell me your inner thoughts.

This was so refreshing to play, eyes closed and hands held high in surrender to Jah's goodness, seriously; give it a listen, download it, see if you don't get the vibe. It's melted my potentially ill mood.

switch stance



double nickels is changing. The guitar/drum duo thing has limitations; it's still fun but we want more room for expression.
Enter switch stance.
Micheal got out from behind the drums and did the bass work.
I did synth and programming and wow, a new sound from us.

This is from the 71610 session at 322; we never were rocky; it was all in my head.

When you don't travel for years, it's like not having a really good meal for years.
When you have one, you savor all of it, the smell,
the look, the taste; such as been the impact of South Beach over me Saturday the 10th. Overwhelming, the sounds, the looks, the tastes.
Tanned skin, the mint in the drink, the sand in your toes, the bass, the hoes.
just kidding about the hoes.

But seriously; getting goose bumps when the bass-line thumps.

Much love to my family , sister Odalys, prima Ana, Dad and Freddy, and above all
God in heaven above for caring for us and letting us have a break to be here.

changes

.... get your free role tracks while you can, because content is going to be for sale via role.bandcamp.com starting now; the scarrzz catalog will mostly go there as well. It's ready. I'm ready. No more relying on deadbeats and basement shows. Although I (html heart) deadbeats and basement shows.

May have to say bye to double nickels too. The backlog of the content may make it's way out of garageband and may not, but getting role paid is the focus.

loaner_relapse



I had total déjà vu when uploading this just now. I heard the drums and seen the tabs opening... fleeting but existent non the less.

So many new doors are near. I dare not jinx them by mentioning them specifically. I do know that some of the things began this summer may fade, simply because the commitment levels differ; as much as I would hope they wouldn't a lack of communication is a lack of communication.

On the flip side, there are many roads inward. A constant focus on quality delivery and performance is paramount.

Remember what you want, what you expect and what you hope for; and above all who you hope in. There is still hope for a future, despite the inconsistencies of today.

Those around you; reach out to them in all truth, seeking their best interest; even pray for them. Perhaps who is the most high will bless the desires of your heart.

(fast forward) it's all ready been written, let's see how it plays out.

el Cordero



Revelation 5
The Scroll and the Lamb
1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?" 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."

6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center before the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits [a] of God sent out into all the earth. 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God's people. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:
"You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
members of every tribe and language and people and nation.

10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign [b] on the earth."

11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. 12 In a loud voice they were saying:
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!"

13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
"To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!"

14 The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.

So tore up last night at mix down for this

when Rachel, when



Opportunities are opportunities, and sometimes we don't see them while others do and sometimes we see them while others don't.
The important thing is to know when to strike at an opportunity, when to move,how to move, what to say, how to say it, and all the while being true to your form and the universal laws that exist between all people and the living God.

I ran into Rachel who plays bass/drums and has a bf at ERD Kroger, her Dad was "buying her groceries because she's poor".

Rachel, I reply to my text if/when you hear/dig this stuff and are colleratively curious.

City-hick girls in truckers, latinos, my babies.
She already knows she why she can't drink my drink.
She's 8 almost 9 now.

The baby is totally fair,with red hair, a real mc looker.
We may be in Miami this time next week.

I really don't want Mike to move to the Beecher St.
He'll smoke more than play and I want to him to live the dream

summer seperation




DN didn't rehearse last night and the room was already paid for so I put my melancholy to work and multi-tracked some emotion for you.

So far, I have to complete a song (at least a version of it) the day I began it. There's a freshness that prt of me things escapes if I do guitars one day, vocals one day.... and there's very little other activity to cut; gotta pay the rent, and kids need a present Father, so sleep and exercise often get cut.

Fun stuff like hiking? No time, not with this music always stating its importance and demanding more and more from me.

This track was originally titled, thanks, Dad... sort of a Dear God but more from a surrendered stance; a bit defeated but with hope for a winning season soon.

When it was time to track it and share it, summer seperation seemed so much more fitting. Have a good day.
