We are aiming to get a news update to you once per week. There will be updates on the writing and recording of the follow up record to “Dandelions and Failure”, any video and pics that come along. Also, starting next week, Boyne and I will begin a series sharing from our lists of albums you may not have heard but will totally fall in love with. Finally, there will be the resurrection of the infamous “Three Things I’ve Learned This Week”.
Live from The Cube
As you can see above, we recorded a live acoustic version of “Old Gil” from Dandelions and Failure. It certainly varies from the original – Boyne has referred to it as the “Grey’s Anatomy soundtrack” version – I assume that is derogatory, but luckily, I have never seen the show.
A huge thank you to two great guests – first off, Puff working the piano. Puff arrived as we were setting up for this, and being that he played the acoustic guitar on the album version, we really wanted him to get involved. I asked Boyne what he thought would work and he said ‘Piano’. When Puff explained to Boyne that he didn’t play the piano, Boyne was not going to let that get in the way. We taught him a couple of quick chords and not only did he nail it, he threw in some subtle (but kickass) harmony vocals on a chorus or two. Additionally, Linz joined us playing her foot tambo – a really great percussive addition.
Enjoy, share, like, subscribe, all that good stuff.
Three Things I’ve Learned This Week
As a throwback to the FTHW days, with each of these posts, I will be adding three things that I’ve learned in the previous week. They are completely out of context lessons, but we aim to educate and entertain here at Fighting Whiskey headquarters. Without further ado…
- Meeting a man you immediately nickname “Heart Attack Santa” is not the funniest thing that will happen in a day. Watching him fall out of the back of a pickup truck is.
- Eating healthier leads to tiny poops. Not cool.
- We are all living in the shadow of Dale Dorado.
