Maximilliano; A New Weekly Song By Bill Coleman
So it’s that time of the week when we have another song in progress from skills exchange musician Bill Coleman. If you’re a regular reader of this culture blog and are living in the Cork area you might be interested in a secret house gig Bill is doing next Saturday 26th November as part of our DIY Arts Festival, The Trash Culture Revue. There’s only a few tickets left and I’m not advertising it so if you want to come along let me know. Tickets are €10 and its a BYO. If you want to bring some grub or a small gift that would be nice after all it is someones house. Anyway, it’s going to be a great night. All info on receipt of money. Okay, to the music:

I had a lot of fun doing this one, I think possibly because I didn’t think too much about it. The ‘karate chop’ vocalisms might be a bit too much, but I had to work so hard at not giggling when I was doing them that it’d be a shame to cut them now.
Also, I don’t know how I managed it, but this is the very first TS@aW that has an electric guitar in it. I’m guessing this is probably because I discovered ukulele in week #3 and that took over a good bit.
Interestingly, this one started out on uke, but I realised on Friday that the key was WAAAYY too high to sing properly so I’d to re-track everything, which, m’lud, is why it’s so late…
About the series – Throwing S**t at a Wall
Throwing Shit at a Wall (or TS@aW for short) is a series of home demos written and recorded at home throughout 2011 to allow the muse to flow and blow out the cobwebs.These aren’t intended to be pristinely recorded and honed tracks, more stream-of-conciousness paint splotches to keep me creating & exploring musically and also brushing up on my recording skills…
