A write up about all the 2nd album songs (How to drive a ...
Posted a year agoI've been meaning to do this for a while. This is a write up of every song on the second "I've Made Too Much Pasta" album, "how to drive a bus" . The bus in this case is an accordion! (The cover has an accordion shaped like a bus). This is the first time I ever used a professional studio and I was VERY OVERWHELMED. The recording process involves hearing your own songs and your own voice very clearly and loudly and over and over again, I'm glad I've reached a point where I'm comfortable with that. It was produced by Will Toledo from Car seat headrest, who I met at ANE 2020.
1. Foxes Will Fix Your Car -
A lot of my songs come from me just fucking up other songs or getting other songs stuck in my head until they become distorted. This came from me just repeating "Why do birds" over and over, singing the beginning of the Carpenters "Close to you", and changing the next lyric to "lie to birds". This is not a song I necessarily feel strongly about in any way, I know my mom made fun of it a lot because it was my Aunt and Uncle's wedding song. I just got stuck on the "why do birds" line and created a whole song from it. The various animal references are linked to people I know, or things in real life. For example, Coopertom is the "cat the lets you play their synthesizers until the middle of the night, Bears breaking into your house to play piano is from a youtube video I've seen, and also Bob Drake, Coyotes pouring you tea is a nod to Pepper coyote who recorded the my first album (even though he has never poured me tea, it just fit really well in the song.) Kangaroos help you with you resume is about OZ, though he hasn't really helped me with my resume directly, he has helped me figure a lot of stuff out. Of courses the main FOX fixing my car is King Gourd. I regret the line about the raccoons will steal your credit and " drive you to the bar", I should have made it "leaves you at the bar". Originally I had a the chorus ending with "when I was a young wart hog" but disney would probably sue me. This song is super they might be giants inspired, with a melody line meandering and concluding in folk song "shady lane" type thing. I play this one on accordion live!
2. A hole is a hole is a hole
SOMETIMES i make songs from phrases I HATE so that i can reclaim them. I really hate when bros are like "Well a HOLE IS A HOLE" about having sex with someone, so I decided to make a song where I use that but just mention actual holes. There is nothing sexual about this song! Unfortunately people read the title and think it's a furry sex song. Whatever, I DON'T CARE. Wank to it if you want. Long piano solo bridge was Will Toledo's idea. Wank to that if anything.
3. Werewolf Significant Other
This was originally slated for the first album, but it didn't make the CUT. I'm glad it didn't because I like how it turned out on this one a lot, including a midi techno bridge that Will came up with. I wrote this in 2014 or so while driving the 4 hours to Van-Weasel's apartment at Penn State. I immediately played it on ukulele when I got there and luckily remembered it! (I can't tell you how many songs I have come up with while driving and not remembered). This is semi about our Bondagey/Prey Pred relationship, and semi-about a raccoon's fantasy that gets out of hand. I always like overzealous cartoon characters getting in over their heads and having a moment! Good theme. It went from being a ukulele song to my most METAL song.
4. There's no cure for rabies
A normal ass punk song with some fast chord changes. Beginning sounds like Fraggle Rock. I also wrote this while driving and luckily remembered it. I have reoccurring tunes in my head and I think this was one of them, so I didn't forget it easily. I stole the "My dog's speaking to me" line from Dog Fashion Disco. The lyrics have a lot to do with the "I've Made too much pasta" lore of being a raccoon with rabies trying to survive as long as possible. Some of the things he does include drinking juices and getting massages and meditating. I had also been drinking a TON of Kombucha (I really like it) - and I found it had helped a lot of my stomach problems and made my teeth feel a lot better.
5. I miss you, Space Cat.
I came up with the chord progression for this while at Doodah sitting in a hotel room with a bunch of people, Strobes being one of them. Strobes is a space cat. (Ironically strobes was also in a video for a song called "I miss you, boo cat" after I wrote this song. Completely unrelated) I had this idea of a small cat in space doing all kinds of scary science and the world depending on them. People whispering "I miss you, Space cat" into the air, almost like a mantra. If the whole world is rooting for you, you can't fail. Kind of like a movie where a meteor is coming towards earth and everyone wondering if the team sent up to stop it will succeed or not. This is one of the few songs i use minor chords on! Syd stoat sings the "Space cat" part. A lot of references in this. A drummer of my previous high school band is a flat earther, so I included a flat earth reference.
There is a funny story about an astronaut calling his wife right before boarding the space ship via a phone that Nasa provides, and her not picking it up because she didn't recognize the number. Thanks telemarketers.
6. If you die at work then you die in real life
VERY EARLY song, wrote this right after recording the first album. I had this "first injury on the job is the best injury on the job" lyric bouncing around for a while, I finally found a home for it while working at Amazon! I only worked there for 2 years part time and I was tragically bored. Sometimes that's the best time to write song lyrics. Included a bunch of cartoon peril, and a fantasy about dying at work and finally becoming appreciated. Also includes a cartoony line about "being too cute to die", I always loved when cartoon characters say that about themselves. Self awareness is cute. This song is a bit boring to play because it is the Same chords over and over, but people seem to really like it!
7. Marko
The most heartfelt song I've written. It's completely about Marko the Rat, who's death had come at a complete surprise and it really hit me hard. He was one of the first fursuiters I could recognize and I met him at AC 2009 at my first con. I also met him again in Australia in 2015 and he was very excited to meet me! (he didn't remember our quick meet up in 2009) I don't want to go to into too much details about Marko, but I wanted to capture the uncertainty of realizing you have a limited time and not knowing what the best choices to do with that time are. Travel around, or spend it all with local friends? Which is right? No one really knows, and who can judge you for the choices you've made in the end? He favored the misunderstood trash animals so I tried to capture that within the song, hence the lyric about biting holes in the sheets and the "heartiest dams from the angriest hearts" (big angry beaver reference there). I pictured Marko being a overly polite rat that would sit on the porch crying because no one would let him in after knocking lightly, but in reality the door was unlocked because everyone inside knew they wouldn't be able to hear the door when he showed up. A bit of a Watership down reference there also, where the El-ahrairah appears in Hazel's rabbit hole without knocking to bring him to the after life. At first Hazel is a little bit annoyed, but then he realized who he is.
This one took me a WHILE to write, I went through a lot of bad lyrics to get to the ones on the actual song. People seem to like this one! I'm glad I was able to write Marko a banger song. Para and Will both added a lot of great back up vocals to this.
8. I sleep with my fists in the air
A raccoon Protest song. I wrote this one while working at Amazon also. It has a structure much like "ferret without any whiskers" where it just a bunch of parts in a row and then the whole thing again. I stole some lyrics from "Stairway to heaven", which is a song I ironically can't STAND. I don't know where I came up with the title but I used to accidentally punch walls in my sleep during my "Angry Period". (My angry period is still happening) Originally a song on guitar, I moved it to accordion despite the challenging note changes! I can play it perfectly as long as it's not being recorded and no one is looking at me.
9. Mortis Jackrabbit
Not about WILL TOLEDO. This song is about a nameless friend and their struggles with a bunch of stuff in their life. I wrote it as a pop punk song for them to perform at some point, but I ended up just using it for myself. I can write songs pretty fast if someone ELSE has the burden of having to perform them! I named it "Mortis Jackrabbit" after my depressed mail carrier character from my comics when I worked at the post office. Mortis Jackrabbit was also a failed band I had come up with in the early 2000s. Now it's a cute bunny fursuit, but the name is just taken from the song title and not the other way around.
10. I've Made Too Much pasta
This is about making too much pasta. It took me forever to memorize the name list in the second verse, but now it's PERMANENTLY IN-GRAINED. get it? A lot of people say to me "there's no such thing as too much pasta" but they're fucking wrong.
11. Having a weird time in New England
I came up with this tune while driving also and wrote it very quickly right before recording. At one point in 2007 ? I THINK, I visited my friend Kilmo in Boston and I was so stressed about my job and other stuff that I had trouble stepping away from my real life for a vacation. I'm one of those people that takes my work home with me. We still had a good time anyway! It was mostly internal screaming on my end. I was also in the middle of figuring out my sexual orientation and experimenting with bondage, but I was still kind of in a previous toxic relationship from college. I had graduated college in 2005 and was completely confused about life. I still am! I just stopped internally screaming about it.
12. Louisa's House
Somewhat based on the game "Maniac Mansion" from NES, possibly named after "Louise" from Oingo Boingo. Both a fantasy horror thing and half- based on all the questionable friends I had in high school and accepting the palpable dysfunction when entering each other's houses. This one is pretty straight forward! A fun song about a house of horrors that you keep going to for some reason, even though you barely get out alive! Will added the noisy part at the end, which turned out to be a really good idea. The noises are all me going to Coopertom's house and playing around on his synthesizers. I did a bunch of synth takes, and Will just put all of them in at the same time thus creating a wall of noise. Big moment was at MFF 2022 where everyone cheered right before the second half when I hit the fuzz pedal, that made me feel really good.
13. Coyote and Rat
Originally called "fox and rat" but I already had a fox song! One of the longest songs I have SO FAR (though the third album is going to have even longer ones) - a story in the vein of "one stormy night" - 2 natural enemy characters becoming friends and escaping society so they can just remain friends without being bothered. They face the abyss together! Very romantic. Includes some Kilmo back up vocals and a Pepper Ah Capella part. Rhubarb does a saxophone solo. A lot of ANIMALS on this one. I changed the second verse to include different chords because I don't like repeating things too much.
14. Gum Commercial
I love jingles and theme songs and I wanted to write my own gum commercial song. Originally had an idea of doing a fursuit video gum commercial in the mento's style, but it never happened. I'm a bit annoyed commercial jingles kind of died in the 90's, cuz there were some really good ones. I recorded this originally at Cooper's house 7 years ago: https://soundcloud.com/scurrow/chewing-forever

A write up about each of my songs on the album
Posted 5 years agoFLEAS:
This is the first song I ever wrote that I felt comfortable playing in front of people. I think I wrote this back in 2005! I don't remember. I played it by myself once in 2007 at a strange church show with my old band "calamity menagerie". I always thought it would be a good punk song, but Pepper had the idea of just making it acoustic. We were fucking around on the electric organ and came up with the whistling part. I liked the whistling part so much I added some synth parts at the end. I kind of regret putting this song first, because it sounds like the whole album is acoustic if you just listen to this song. Maybe I'll switch it around on the "second pressing"
RACCOON SONG:
When I decided to make my musical character a raccoon, I wanted to write a song with a bunch of factual information about raccoons. However, I wrote this while I was driving and the only factual information that ended up in the song is the line about "taking over japan". Raccoons are not native to Japan, but they were brought there as pets and then let go into the wilderness, consequently fucking it up and destroying ancient buildings and such. Ha HA HA! Anyway, I wanted it to kind of sound like a Harry Belafonte song, I.E. "Dolly Dawn" or "I do adore her". The "dismantling bombs" line is a nod to Rocket Raccoon. I also found out later that a group of raccoons is actually called a "nursery".
EVIL BOYS AND EVIL GIRLS:
I wrote this right before I made the album! I came up with the tune while driving to New York to visit my friends Oz and Mozee. It's a 3 hour drive, and I was able to come up with most of the lyrics in that time. The bridge part was something I had a written a while ago on accordion and it fit perfectly into this song! Don't you love when that happens? I originally wanted the beginning to be just organ and me singing, but Bob Drake added an awesome A Capella part which I will never be able to recreate live!!! This might be the only song I have that has so many verse-chorus repetitions! And it starts with a chorus too, it's a chorus sandwich. Most of my song structures fall under a verse/chorus/verse/chorus and then a new part or maybe a "bridge to nowhere."
NEVER ENDING THIRST
An accordion part I wrote a while back mixed with Tom Waits-esque lyric blob I had been messing with. I mixed them together, and my accordion skills are kind of weak on this one so I have never been able to play it live on accordion. I added synths to buttress the shifty accordion parts also. That's really about it, Bob Drake added a reggae beat and bass line. I spend a long time trying to make lyrics I like, but I'm a damn critical curmudgeon. All in all though, I am very happy with "The things that you love will kill you in the end", because I think it's fucking true. The things you love the most will end up destroying you, but it's inevitable. For example, I really like potato chips and they will probably give me an ulcer.
I HAD A GREAT TIME IN THE TRASH
I wrote this song originally for my old band "Calamity Menagerie". The original title was "I had a great time at the Morgue". (possibly influenced by Dog Fashion Disco's "9 to 5 at the morgue") However! Our keyboard player's brother died of cancer around the same time and I decided the song was completely inappropriate to ever sing for anyone. Fast forward to now, with my cool Raccoon theme, I was able to EASILY rewrite the lyrics to be about being in a dumpster!!! The lyrics are pretty much exactly the same. The last two lines used to be "What a beautiful day here in the Gallows. I've got a plan that will save you before you fall". - changed to "What a beautiful day here in the Dumpster, I've eaten so much I can't leave". Also, I deliberately called the song "in the trash" even though I say "garbage" in the song because I thought it looked more aesthetically pleasing as a sentence. Yeah, I'm weird.
I WOULD EAT THE MOON
Another Tom Waits-Esque lyric blob. - There's a sesame street clip where cookie monster eats the moon and sings a really haunting song about it. Most of my music choices are probably influenced by sesame street to be honest. Anyway, I wrote the accordion part to this while I was doing an open house for my short Real estate agent stint. An open house is where you sit in a house and wait for potential clients to come look at it. It's basically 4 hours of doing nothing, so I played accordion. Once i realized this accordion could potentially be "I would eat the moon", i wrote the lyrics really quickly. The flowed faster than snot from a field mouse's nose.
MACARONI AND DISEASE
I actually have no idea when I wrote this. Originally the first lyric was "Lonely slice of bologne" but i figured I should rep my veg lifestyle and DITCH THAT SHIT. I haven't eaten bologna in like, 20 years anyway. I eat hummus every minute of every day. All I remember is in high school I had a friend named Sarah and we used to constantly make up stupid phrases, and "macaroni and lice" was one of them. So I incorporated that into this song, kind of.
THE WORLD'S NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE BOTH OF US
In high school, I had to take the SAT test on a Saturday, and I remember the night before I had this dream about Sonic and Knuckles. Basically there was a vote to see who the people liked better; Sonic or Knuckles, and the government decided the loser had to be locked into a vault because it was too dangerous for the both of them to be free in the world. Knuckles lost and got dragged kicking and screaming into the vault, while Sonic looked on absolutely horrified. It was implied Sonic would go back and save him, but I woke up at that point. It was a weird dream, but MAN did I wake up feeling SO GOOD. Absolutely euphoric, like I tapped into something I had never tapped into before, and never have since. I imagine that's what it feels like when people take Ecstasy. It lasted all day and all through the SATS, which was annoying. SO a ton of years later I wrote this song kind of based on that, and a line from the Sonic anime where Sonic claims the world's not big enough for both he and Metal Sonic. Okay, i typed sonic enough times already, the end.
GOD OF OUTERSPACE
This song is based on 2 things: 1) My previous band made a movie called "Tom Devil's New Year" and I was in it wearing some weird sequence pants and some silver collar bullshit; I deemed myself "God of Outer space." 2) My mom is the worst person to watch movies with, because she doesn't pay attention and then asks random questions and falls asleep halfway through anyway, followed by waking up and demanding to know what's going on. On this particular day, we were watching Hellraiser: Bloodline (I know.....I know...), which takes place in Outer space (I know..... I KNOW). As they conjure up the cenobites, my mom exclaims; "Aren't they a little far away from hell???" She was right, they were.
MAYBE WE CAN STEAL OUR NEIGHBOR'S CABLE
I've gotten a lot of people to sing the chorus of this, which is awesome. I wrote the chorus to this while I was driving around, and then wrote the lyrics and chords to the whole thing in like, 15 minutes on a really shitty guitar at my parents' house. Sometimes the songs you put the least effort into are your most popular! I guess? Pepper recorded the mob vocals while he was really drunk at my place, I'm very surprised he was able to do it. He is like a drunken recording master. I'm glad all my drunk friends are somehow good singers.
LEMURS IN THE WALLS
I wrote the tune of the song while I was driving once, thankfully it stuck with me somehow! (I write a lot of tunes and forget them right after) Then I saw the Bojack Horseman episode with the Lemurs that appeared just for a party. "They must have come out of the walls!!" - I exclaimed! One of their shirts says "trees trees trees" which is a genius shirt. Glad I put King Julian in this song also, because his show is awesome. That's it! I added wubs at Coopertom's house.
FERRET WITHOUT ANY WHISKERS
This was supposed to be a song for my previous band also, but we broke up before I got to show it to anyone. The lyrics were a bit different before, I rewrote them. The structure of this song confuses all my band members, it's basically just a linear song but twice I guess? This is my only song with curses in it, and I sort of regret it. Though I do like cursing, so.....
Album is here: Thanks for reading!
Ivemadetoomuchpasta.bandcamp.com
This is the first song I ever wrote that I felt comfortable playing in front of people. I think I wrote this back in 2005! I don't remember. I played it by myself once in 2007 at a strange church show with my old band "calamity menagerie". I always thought it would be a good punk song, but Pepper had the idea of just making it acoustic. We were fucking around on the electric organ and came up with the whistling part. I liked the whistling part so much I added some synth parts at the end. I kind of regret putting this song first, because it sounds like the whole album is acoustic if you just listen to this song. Maybe I'll switch it around on the "second pressing"
RACCOON SONG:
When I decided to make my musical character a raccoon, I wanted to write a song with a bunch of factual information about raccoons. However, I wrote this while I was driving and the only factual information that ended up in the song is the line about "taking over japan". Raccoons are not native to Japan, but they were brought there as pets and then let go into the wilderness, consequently fucking it up and destroying ancient buildings and such. Ha HA HA! Anyway, I wanted it to kind of sound like a Harry Belafonte song, I.E. "Dolly Dawn" or "I do adore her". The "dismantling bombs" line is a nod to Rocket Raccoon. I also found out later that a group of raccoons is actually called a "nursery".
EVIL BOYS AND EVIL GIRLS:
I wrote this right before I made the album! I came up with the tune while driving to New York to visit my friends Oz and Mozee. It's a 3 hour drive, and I was able to come up with most of the lyrics in that time. The bridge part was something I had a written a while ago on accordion and it fit perfectly into this song! Don't you love when that happens? I originally wanted the beginning to be just organ and me singing, but Bob Drake added an awesome A Capella part which I will never be able to recreate live!!! This might be the only song I have that has so many verse-chorus repetitions! And it starts with a chorus too, it's a chorus sandwich. Most of my song structures fall under a verse/chorus/verse/chorus and then a new part or maybe a "bridge to nowhere."
NEVER ENDING THIRST
An accordion part I wrote a while back mixed with Tom Waits-esque lyric blob I had been messing with. I mixed them together, and my accordion skills are kind of weak on this one so I have never been able to play it live on accordion. I added synths to buttress the shifty accordion parts also. That's really about it, Bob Drake added a reggae beat and bass line. I spend a long time trying to make lyrics I like, but I'm a damn critical curmudgeon. All in all though, I am very happy with "The things that you love will kill you in the end", because I think it's fucking true. The things you love the most will end up destroying you, but it's inevitable. For example, I really like potato chips and they will probably give me an ulcer.
I HAD A GREAT TIME IN THE TRASH
I wrote this song originally for my old band "Calamity Menagerie". The original title was "I had a great time at the Morgue". (possibly influenced by Dog Fashion Disco's "9 to 5 at the morgue") However! Our keyboard player's brother died of cancer around the same time and I decided the song was completely inappropriate to ever sing for anyone. Fast forward to now, with my cool Raccoon theme, I was able to EASILY rewrite the lyrics to be about being in a dumpster!!! The lyrics are pretty much exactly the same. The last two lines used to be "What a beautiful day here in the Gallows. I've got a plan that will save you before you fall". - changed to "What a beautiful day here in the Dumpster, I've eaten so much I can't leave". Also, I deliberately called the song "in the trash" even though I say "garbage" in the song because I thought it looked more aesthetically pleasing as a sentence. Yeah, I'm weird.
I WOULD EAT THE MOON
Another Tom Waits-Esque lyric blob. - There's a sesame street clip where cookie monster eats the moon and sings a really haunting song about it. Most of my music choices are probably influenced by sesame street to be honest. Anyway, I wrote the accordion part to this while I was doing an open house for my short Real estate agent stint. An open house is where you sit in a house and wait for potential clients to come look at it. It's basically 4 hours of doing nothing, so I played accordion. Once i realized this accordion could potentially be "I would eat the moon", i wrote the lyrics really quickly. The flowed faster than snot from a field mouse's nose.
MACARONI AND DISEASE
I actually have no idea when I wrote this. Originally the first lyric was "Lonely slice of bologne" but i figured I should rep my veg lifestyle and DITCH THAT SHIT. I haven't eaten bologna in like, 20 years anyway. I eat hummus every minute of every day. All I remember is in high school I had a friend named Sarah and we used to constantly make up stupid phrases, and "macaroni and lice" was one of them. So I incorporated that into this song, kind of.
THE WORLD'S NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE BOTH OF US
In high school, I had to take the SAT test on a Saturday, and I remember the night before I had this dream about Sonic and Knuckles. Basically there was a vote to see who the people liked better; Sonic or Knuckles, and the government decided the loser had to be locked into a vault because it was too dangerous for the both of them to be free in the world. Knuckles lost and got dragged kicking and screaming into the vault, while Sonic looked on absolutely horrified. It was implied Sonic would go back and save him, but I woke up at that point. It was a weird dream, but MAN did I wake up feeling SO GOOD. Absolutely euphoric, like I tapped into something I had never tapped into before, and never have since. I imagine that's what it feels like when people take Ecstasy. It lasted all day and all through the SATS, which was annoying. SO a ton of years later I wrote this song kind of based on that, and a line from the Sonic anime where Sonic claims the world's not big enough for both he and Metal Sonic. Okay, i typed sonic enough times already, the end.
GOD OF OUTERSPACE
This song is based on 2 things: 1) My previous band made a movie called "Tom Devil's New Year" and I was in it wearing some weird sequence pants and some silver collar bullshit; I deemed myself "God of Outer space." 2) My mom is the worst person to watch movies with, because she doesn't pay attention and then asks random questions and falls asleep halfway through anyway, followed by waking up and demanding to know what's going on. On this particular day, we were watching Hellraiser: Bloodline (I know.....I know...), which takes place in Outer space (I know..... I KNOW). As they conjure up the cenobites, my mom exclaims; "Aren't they a little far away from hell???" She was right, they were.

I wrote the chorus to this while I was driving around, and then wrote the lyrics and chords to the whole thing in like, 15 minutes on a really shitty guitar at my parents' house.

Music Videos and SHIT
Posted 6 years agoI've made 2 music videos for 2 of my songs "I had a great time in the trash" , and "The world's not big enough for the both of us"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWHWwmnZxws
Thi s one is made from a bunch of 80's TV commercials, and some random clips I had lying around (including some by jym and hipstotter ) . Tried to make it just intense moments with no brand names. Commercials are weird! Car commercials haven't changed at all in 30 years, it's bizarre. Only cars have.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlmnWlt5x7M
I edited together a show called "Buttons and Rusty" or Possibly "Chucklewood Critters" , i'm not sure. It's pretty hard to watch, but the characters are cute. They hug a lot when they get scared, which is adorable and only works in animation pretty much. Anyway, i tried to fill it with whimsical moments and a few synced up mouth moving parts. (Was going to do all synced up mouth moving, but it was near impossible) The ending part is the best, I barely had to edit that.
These were fun to make, my goal is to make music videos to all 12 of my songs. So far 3/12, I would probably want to do more fursuit related stuff for a bunch of them, that will have to wait though!
ENJOY.

Anthrocon and New Album
Posted 7 years agoI will be at Anthrocon from THURSDAY to MONDAY but I have nothing to do on tuesday also so we'll see. Rooming with the EVER prolific tiltlongtail and the Non-sequestered yummers
I'll have a bunch of art in the art show and I'll have CD's and Tapes for sale of my ALBUM at peppercoyote's table in the dealer's den.
If you are not going to anthrocon but wish to have such an album! please visit here: ivemadetoomuchpasta.bandcamp.com or just note me!
This album was recorded by peppercoyote and mastered by bd and they both do Back up vocals and a bunch of instruments for it! It's a bunch of raccoon related songs I've written some time in the past 5 years or so, I've lost track. I'm very happy about it! Believe it or not, even though I've been in bands since I was 16 none of them ever recorded physical albums. Available on Tape Cassette and CD, each comes with a mini comic.
-Might do a masquerade act at AC and I'll probably post some music on here!
-Also will most likely be BUSKING with the accordion at some point. (Not actual busking, soft busking)
-Might also have some stickers for sale!
Please come say HI if you see me in Fursuit at anthrocon but do not say "how are you" because that question confuses me. The generic answer is "fine" but then why bother even answering? At the same time, I don't want to tell a stranger how I am. I don't know, I'm weird.
You can grab me, hug me, touch me, grab my nose, grope me, lift my tail, buy me a drink, blah blah blah, I don't give a shit! Just don't ask me to play weird AL when I'm playing accordion. I don't know any! Seriously though, Don't be afraid to say hi! I appreciate anyone who likes what I do or knows me somehow. Even if it's from that SEX tape.......
ANE Mumblings - music stuff
Posted 7 years agoI went to ANE a few weeks ago (anthro new england) - I basically was riding a high off Furpoc and decided to book a show with my "Band" (i.e. tannerin and huskiepaws and Surly who I through my songs at in a month's notice!), then later regretted it. Because I've been in bands for 15 years and I'm sick of it! Carrying equipment and playing for no one, I've done it for so long.
However, when it was all said and done, I certainly don't regret playing this show. A lot of people came out! A LOT, like 30 or 40 people, literally the most people any band I've ever played in has drawn. It was pretty awesome, and thanks for all of you who came out! I can't believe I was just missing a raccoon costume!
(So far the only video to have surfaced is by mr. Inu Okami)
https://vimeo.com/200616722
So after the show, we went down to get a cart for the equipment and when I came back a bunch of people I didn't know where jamming on the equipment. (much to the chagrin of the displaced cakecon people trying to set up a DJ set, sorry guys!) It reminded me of high school when people used to just jam for no reason, it was kind of awesome!
I was kind of thinking, for the next con I play a show at, perhaps I can arrange an hour afterwards (or before) of Open mic / Free jam time, where people can just play whatever they want! Does that sound like a good idea. Until this moment at ANE i had no idea there was a market for it in the furry universe.
Here's some links to my music. (album is almost done, recorded by the great peppercoyote and being mixed and mastered by the UNFATHOMABLE bd it's 93 percent done)

You look pretty tired, are you ok?
It's because I'm not used to talking for 12 hours straight and walking around with a body carpet Also I'm old!!!!!

It's because your name is some stupid Japanese bullshit and/or 6 other people have it already.
Will you tell me your room-number and can I surprise visit you?
Aaah, I like your style Kid! BUT You'll have to just follow me there like a real stalker.
I have a personal question for the convention. May I ask you that?
If your question starts with "Can I ask you a question" then It's already a bad question.
Great Lakes furcon.
Posted 8 years agoI'll be at Great Lakes furcon next weekend! I'm a GUEST.
OF HONOR. Can you imagine? This is a huge change from most cons where I am barely allowed in.
along with coopertom and yummers !
I'm running a comic drawing thing (Like Draw or Die from FAunited and/or Furfright)
I'm also doing a live music show as a raccoon and a theme song set with a projector thing I put together as Scurrow (both of these are labeled as "The velvety Pipes of Scurrow Squirrel"
I'll probably play accordion in the hall and get drunk and stuff.
See yah thar if you're going!

I'm moving (Physically in real life)
Posted 8 years agoI'm moving from a small 2 bedroom apartment in a questionable neighborhood (which I've lived in for 8 years) to an obnoxious 20 room haunted mansion in questionable shape. Basically my life will be Casper staring Devon Sawa or whoever the fuck is in that movie. Not looking it up! Nope.
So I won't have the internet for a bit, right now I'm sitting in an empty apartment with just a computer like some kind of weird hacker nerd.
