Super Happy Fail Party! - Lemonade Grenade! - 2008/02/09 05:25 So, I managed to wrap the album today. It turned out... interesting, but I think the coolest thing about it was how much fun I had making it. It was 8 days of banging on random things and playing random notes and just seeing what came out of it. I had a few of my close friends record audio samples of themselves saying certain words and then pieced them together into a lot of the songs on the album. I hope you enjoy listening to it!

I have put it up on a new Virb page at http://virb.com/superhappyfailparty

and have it up for download on my Myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/superhappyfailparty

and uploaded it onto mediafire at http://www.mediafire.com/?6odmyyim143

I'll be sending it in to RPM at the end of the month and will try to start concentrating on my actual RPM album now.... which I haven't spent any time on yet...

Anyway, comments and criticism is appreciated and stuff and if you listen to it, I hope you enjoy the zaniness of it! Thanks!

Re:Super Happy Fail Party! - Lemonade Grenade! - 2008/02/09 05:56 Oh man - this is seriously whacked stuff...

And We LOVE IT!

Public Transportation is a friggin' instant classic - it reminds us a lot of King Missile - and we loved King Missile...

... and Hey Mr. Robot just made us grin really, really hard.

For 8 days of work, this is serious fun.

Congrats! What a fun listen...

Re:Super Happy Fail Party! - Lemonade Grenade! - 2008/02/09 17:40 This is John Frusciante-ish. No criticism from my end.
It's raw edged spontaneity which emanates feel. Great tasting lemonade!

Re:Super Happy Fail Party! - Lemonade Grenade! - 2008/02/10 16:36 this is actually not that bad except for the vocals..

Also this isn't ghettotech...

but I guess it's not mostly really R&B either, and that's probably not a big deal

your guitar stuff actually sounds pretty decent. Not necessarily my type of stuff but I think my brother would love it. I'll send him a link.

If this is your "I'm just screwing around" album I'm excited to hear what you come up with when you're "trying"!

Ah... well I can see why you wouldn't have liked it. The vocals are sort of "bad on purpose" vocals, and the whole project wasn't meant to be serious... I was actually just kind of meant to be the opposite from a deep and flawlessly crafted piece of art. I wasn't just trying to make bad music... just music that made people smile and laugh a little. I take myself a bit too seriously sometimes, so this was a way to escape from myself a little. I appreciate you listening to it, though, and I'm sorry you didn't like it that much... I hope you enjoy what I'm cooking up now, though!

Re:Super Happy Fail Party! - Lemonade Grenade! - 2008/02/11 17:11 No, I totally dug it. I just think that the vocal recording quality was a little low. I'm a stickler for recording quality regardless of what's going into the mic.

I'm also a stickler for electronic music genres because I'm crazy. Ghettotech is like ghetto house except techno. Ghetto house is like DJ Funk. So, but yeah, I think this album transcends genre.

Sorry you thought I didn't like it - it's a totally charming album!

Re:Super Happy Fail Party! - Lemonade Grenade! - 2008/02/14 18:26 If you've noticed an increased number of plays on your site today, that's because I turned a co-worker onto this disc today.

He's already on his second full-disc play of the day.

Really? Wow! That is really awesome. It is a cool feeling to have your spread around, so I really appreciate that!
