i've been meaning to do this for awhile.
around june, matt and i made a cd set entitled:
"Josh Rutledge's worst fears brought to life through the wonders of electronic music"
for those of you who do know Josh, and if you don't know him...get to know him! he's an okay guy. um, er, for those of you who know him, you know that he is pretty darn talented on the guitar and about any other musical instrument. this makes him dislike any repetitive , mindless music that can be made by a monkey that recently had a labotomy.
he's informed me that he can tolerate about 2 and a half to three minutes of any music that goes, "nnn tss nnn tss nnn tss...and so on. this does not help that most techno songs are 6 to 12 minutes.
if there's a song that features 2 minutes of vocals and 11 minutes of guitar solo, he is on his computer searching for the version that has no vocals and 20 minutes of guitar... also featuring an extended bass solo!
the guy can't help it. he sees the world in musical notes. or at the very least, tabliture.
now me, i love the music made by labotomized monkeys.
the song list for the cd set is as follows:
disc 1 : the blue pill mix
1) prodigal sons - ode to jonie
2) prodigal sons - satan is dead
3) scott blackwell - XYZ
4) world wide message tribe - lift it
5) jyradelix -feeling is believing
6) jyradelix - ol McRave
7) zero - hexidecibal
8) virus - polyester
9) prohecy of panic - the end
10) audity - music from the heart
11) sixpence none the richer - love, salvation and the fear of a remix
12) cloud2ground - madness for love
13) scott blackwell - real
14) aj mora - i found something real
15) holy hard house - no no no no (why not? mix)
16) dance house children - the locket maker
17) joy electric - sugar rush
disc2: the red pill mix
1) (inspector gadget techno remix)
2) the vengaboys - we like to party
3) L.A. style - james brown is dead
4) fatboy slim - because we can
5) basement jaxx - do your thing
6) fluke - absurd
7) looper - mondo 77
8) darude - the flow
9) DJ icey - city of groove
10) lionrock - fire up the shoesaw
11) BT - never gonna come back down
12) keoki - caterpillar
13) 808 state - cubik
14) underworld - cowboy
15) orbital - halcyon on + on (live)
16) kraftwerk - numbers
we added on a disclaimer that :
no guitars were harmed at all during the making of this cd.
in fact, i don't believe any guitars were used at all.
and now, for josh's worst nightmares:
1) Michael Sweet is never born. Stryper never becomes a band. MxPx is the only band to break into the mainstream.
2) Parents misunderstand what Josh wants for Christmas. They buy him a Key-tar instead.
3) All doorways are mandatorily made 6 inches shorter. No one informs Josh.
4) Paul Reuben “caught in the act” before making “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure”. Josh’s favorite movie becomes “Sound Of Music”.
5) Eddie Van Halen never learns guitar. His parents make him learn accordion. He now plays in the best polka band in the tri-state area.
6) On another note, Weird Al never plays music. He’s the most annoying architect in his workplace.
7) Jacki becomes the nun she always wanted to be
8) The drummer from Rush, Neal Peart loses his arm in a car crash shortly after Rick Allen of Def Leppard does the same. Rick Allen plays the sympathy card while Neal Peart turns to a life of crime and kills the wife of Dr. Richard Kimble.
9) The “Majesty Demos’ are lost in a fire before they are ever distributed. The legendary band Dream Theater never comes to fruition. The next best band to even compare is… Slaughter.
10) Steve Jobs gives up and sells out to Bill Gates shortly before the Apple II is released. Macintosh is no more. No iTunes, iPods or even computers in any color. Bill Gates admits to being satan. “At this point what are you gonna do about it?” he says.
so there you have it, i think my longest blog ever.
thanks josh.
T-Shirts and cd's are on sale in the lobby.
hope you enjoyed the show.
