Well dude - very very good and might I add - more interesting than 99.999999 percent of recorded music. I would very much like to hear these songs (or at least this sorta THING) live.

Perhaps you could tell us a little bit about what equipment you used to record these tunes?!?

すこ゛い すは゛らしい て゛すね！！
Brilliance, or buririansu as my students would say. No joke, it knocks the wind out of me.

Thanks very much for the feedback. Making it interesting was definitely a high priority. I would very much like to perform these too.

Equipment was nothing too complicated--the old Magnatone amp, and the SE 3600 microphone from SE Electronics, perhaps the best music hardware purchase I've made. Microphone through ART preamp to computer (Cakewalk Sonar, and plenty of plugins). Drums were just an overhead and a snare mic. I used both of the guitar pedals that I've made so far, the Ring Modulator and the Overdrive Pro. Also the Boss Harmonist pedal--really awesome.

The samples, other than the first track, are all ones I recorded. I hesitate to reveal their sources here for fear of demystifying too much, but if you want to know I can certainly tell you privately.

Is 'buririansu' a real loanword? I guess probably not, but if so that would be excellent.

musick!, muzak!, m u s i c! yum, yum

No, it's not a real loanword. But they make everything their own w/ that katakana. Makudonarudos. Guess what this popular restaurant's name is in America. I sure as hell couldn't when I got here.

My textbook actually taught me that one within the first few chapters, which is scary in a way. But if not for that I certainly would not have been able to guess. Can you or anyone explain "GET suru" to me? I hear this all the time on TV and the radio, and apparently it's quite popular with the youth over there, but I've googled to no avail for a precise meaning. I can only guess that it's either somehow related to consumerism (like GET this product!), or that it is just one of those entirely meaningless things that people suddenly like to say.
