New Parody Album in the Works.

Posted on by

Our new parody album, entitled Schrodinger’s Hairball, is well underway. To spur himself to finish it in time for WorldCon, Jeff has already booked mastering sessions.

Here is is latest progress report:

“I just finished a recording session with the amazing Margaret Davis, laying down a flute track for our next parody album. Kristoph Klover helped me get the mic placed, since he’s recorded Margaret about a thousand times, and knows exactly how to capture her best. She breezed through the parts in no time. It sounds wonderful. We have just a few harmony vocals to add, and all the tracking will be done.”

Beckett Gladney is working on the cove for this crazy project and we’ll release the run order as soon as it’s settled.

Spoiler: there are three Queen songs on this one.

Jeff’s Post Consonance Report

I’m back at work after another great weekend at Consonance.

I helped with sound support for the convention, which gave me the best seat in the house to enjoy some fabulous music.

Summer Loraine Russell started the weekend off with a lovely set Friday night. She has a beautiful, clear voice and some wonderful songs.

Saturday afternoon, Heather Dale and Ben Deschamps created an hour of magic. They are each supremely talented musicians , and together created an alchemy that takes you to another world. Heather gives off a positive energy that makes everyone feel welcome.

Saturday night, the @Blibbering Humdingers rocked the con with a set of hilarious geeky songs. They’re all great singers and players, and they perform with a hugely infectious energy. I’m glad to have finally got meet them. As it happens, they’re also nice people.

Sunday afternoon, Margaret Davis and Kristoph Klover played an entrancing set. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen them, but they never fail to impress me with their impeccable musicianship and warmth.

We have begun work on a new parody album, title TBD. I’m hoping to be able to post progress reports here about progress thereon.

The final lineup of songs hasn’t been decided yet, but I can tell you what we’ve got on the cooktop.

We have tracked two complete songs! Two wit:

“The Counselor” (ttto a well-known Billy Joel song). Subject matter: Counselor Troi, because, by golly, that girl deserves her own filk song. The song features the harmonica chops of the amazingly talented Beckett Gladney, who designed the album art for I Remember the Rain.

“Won’t Get Fooled Again” now also exists as a complete parody of the hard-rocking version by The Who. Our previous version was unplugged. Continue reading →
