Sock Monkey Lookin' Fer Luv

This bit of strangeness is from early February, 2003. It is the soundtrack to an 8mm film of the same name I did for a tiny festival (and I'll post the film if I can ever get it transferred...). The film was every bit as silly as the name implies.

That's me on the four-string fretless, midi drums and those 'marvelous vocals' with the son of a short-time girlfriend playing three tracks of lead & rhythm guitar. Getting the right fx on the vox was a real bear, took longer then everything else to record and unlike most of the vocals I record, these were recorded "wet". You might note the octave shift that makes the vocals so sly, it's especially apparent at the fade. Likewise there's a delay at the intro, that was to accommodate the credits.

Found an second version. It's a bit more raw w/a noise synth part that I deleted from the master.
