Hey guys,

We're putting some of the final tracking touches on the new Monkie CD so
we're down to the very end of the punch list. One of the songs we have is
called 'Hobo Rocket' and it might just be the signature tune of the CD. It's
about a bunch of hobos who build a rocket,

Shining hobo rocket
Dance across the sky
Heading for Uranus
Heard it's made of pecan pie

and we wanted to get a 'rocket taking off' sound without using a sample.
So, about half an hour of scraping my Les Paul on the side of my Savage amp
and a super resonant low pass filter and we're done with it.

Now THAT is what I find fun about recording.

not without the filter, and i don't think it's worth it to bother carrying
one for a single song.

Sample it and put it on a drum trigger...

Like the baseball bat sound on the "Centerfield" song from
John Fogerty.

Then they have to carry a sampler AND a drum trigger! ;-)

Or a baseball bat.

Which in some bars is an asset.

Or a talk box (remember those?). The human tongue, jaw and lips make a
nice low pass filter for guitar.

Or just get right up on the mic and go "whooooeeeaaaaah" while screaming....

Anyway, sounds like a very cool day in the studio, Thad!

Cheers,
