I wrote the third verse of "Pirate Radio" last night. I had TD and GolfinDave in mind when I wrote it.
"Now the halfwit legends of conspiracy
Are reproducing like flies
Everybody and their sister has a megaphone
And a line to the idiot hive
It's gotta be the Mafia
Maybe it's the Clintons
They're hiding from the truth you know
Praise the new messiah and buy your ammunition
On pirate radio"
Now I've done all I can with the jam, and I'm going to have to start reshooting the music, and locking it to tempo. We're still in demo mode, because Bill's weeks away from being ready to play like he did in that jam and Tom the drummer only found out on Saturday that I was doing this.
So we're not ready to track yet, and I have to decide if the song needs a bridge, or a "middle eight" as the Brits would say. Something different to break up monotony.
To answer that question I need to start structuring the music. I'll do this by looping various parts. I'll pull a stock drum pattern in that fits, record the various musical phrases I hear in the jam and then string them together into a groove. That way I don't have to do forty takes to get through the whole song at once without a mistake. Once the groove is down, I'll shoot the vocals again, and we'll have a demo that Tom can start putting real drums to.
So now the real work begins. And yes, Tony, I am trying to think up a real greasy, funky bass line, just for you.
