Dan Louisell - 3, 2, 1, Blast Off (February, 2004)
this cd was what i thought was my next "normal" cd. that is to say, it wasn't dirty or incredibly depressing. i had a new girlfriend at the time and was generally happy and silly again, thus a lot of the songs were very hopeful. except "face value," which is about people becoming more and more like clones everyday. that is not hopeful. i think it was my best-sounding album to date, but later that year i started using pro tools. i don't really have much else to say about it, aside from maybe i should explain the secret track and the picture on the back. i invented the barber-bot quartet by making up their song and singing it all mono-tone. then i duplicated the track four times and used pitch shift to make four seperate vocal harmony tracks. then i put a robot-counding chorus effect over the whole thing. then i drew them and made them the back of my cd. i made another barber-bot quartet song, but i bet it won't find its way to any of my cds ever, unless i put out a long-in-the-making album of all the songs i thought were too weird/dumb to be on any other of my cds. maybe.
