My Secret Career 16: New Killer Of America

The drum track on this song makes no sense. But I made it and love it. 

I tried to follow Pimp Fu’s instructions with the drum machine but no matter how hard I tried the sequence would always start on the two instead of the one. So what I heard when I listened in headphones was NOT what came out when I attempted to transfer it to the 4-track. Imagine a drummer waking up mid song and still starting from the beginning.

After a thousand “fuck yous”, a million “you son of a bitches”, and a billion hands-thrown-up-in-frustration, I just recorded it anyway and tucked it in my growing collection of “almost” tracks. Listening to it made me dizzy.

Then one day a harmonica crossed my path.

Forty five minutes later, this monstrosity existed. Every sound you hear I made. Beware the Sisqo reference that perfectly dates this track.

Please try to enjoy “New Killer Of America” from Bomer-B’s 2000 classic, “Out Of Charactor: Act I: Id City”.
