Liner Notes

#10x10

Once again my old pal @teebyrd sent me 10 nonsensical lyrics for me to cobble together into a 10x10. It's been our favorite FAWM tradition and I'm happy to keep the ball rolling. They are presented below, exactly as they appeared to me.

I used some live instruments and some Apple Loops, but that elephant sound in the beginning is all me, baby.

Lyrics

Elective Elegiac elephants Erupt
Where is this confounded contraption you speak of?
Fuck ICE Fuck ICE Fuck ICE repeat!!!
A sovereign humming bird gathers no wool
Wade is weighing my whey! Why? Well, we were waving Wade’s wages when whales washed Wade’s wayward wife way westward!
Kevin, you’re an incorrigible muffin!
Never forget, your memory is only as good as you remember it.
A man cannot sit down and write until he’s stood up and boogied!
I subscribe to the lone funyon theory
One day we will wake up and he will be dead as a fucking doornail!

Soo good. I think my favourites are #5 and 3.

@bxphane 2d

A truly varied and enjoyable performance! Well done on the elephant interpretation, it was impressive ::D: My favorite is the ninth song, it has real dance potential!

@dhiatt 3d

These are all hilarious, super clever and entertaining. So much variety, I love it.

This is a fun format. Well executed.

The idea of Fuck ICE as nonsensical could be taken 3 ways: rejection, suspicion and lastly admitting that yes they're very much NOT good boyfriend material!

Beautiful ecclesiastical sound there too.

Lyrically "A sovereign hummingbird gathers no wool" is my favourite! Wade's section sounded great too.

Lyrics overall feels like snippets of genuine conversation from my house and other politicised neurodivergents.

But what you did with them - so many gloriously over produced bangs where you tried to find a genre connection that could be highly praised and analysed seperately. Like did you get people in for additional vocals? Hard to imagine what the studio was like! But probably fun!! If I was going to say something slightly negative they were a little disjointed, if it was a disco you'd want smoother transition and I wonder how it would sound to keep each more interconnected in a whole. But the smorgasbord effect was still excellent and reminded me of listening to the Sing! soundtrack or the Eurovision movie soundtrack.

Wow!!! What gems!!! These are fabulous! Fantastic music variety and execution! Love so many of them! All of them really!

@wynia 3d

Hot takes as I listen (certainly will miss some) 1-nice elephant sound 3- Lol "fuck ICE" choir kids....resolving on the repeat, brilliant. How did you get through 5 without tripping over your tongue? 6-is this Kevin from reddit? 8-yeah funkadelic 9-is this a corollary to string theory? 10- omg such a sweet murder A++

@teebyrd 3d

Brava CMFB…Brava🙌 You stuck the landing on every last one of ‘em. Once again, pleasure doing 10x10 biz witcha, O sweet pal o mine! 🔟❤️🔟

@max 3d

3 fu-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-uck! Never had so much fun singing along. Repeat! And 8 had me stand up and boogy indeed. Pushed the replay button three times. 5 is a grower. 6 is an ear worm. 7 made me smile. A great 10x10!

@sapient 3d

Euphoric elephant eruption!
Sounds like the last line of a frankly fascinating song 🤣
Not at all what I expected and all the more effecive for it.
Now then children, let me tell you a story...
I see why you took it at that pace. It could have been the most appalling tongue twister otherwise.
Don't let @aeye get hold of this, or you'll end up with a 9 minute remix 🤪
So true. Glad you got thru this one.
That's some sweeeet disco. I shall take this message under advisement.
Ooo surf rock. About lone funyons! Yesss!
So pretty. So full of hope.
