Listen/purchase: (You Don’t Know) Jack Schitt by Jackass Penguins

I recently saw an ad for a show that uses Schitt the way I did in 1998. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again: this song deserves a newer, better version with vocals you can actually discern.

I have covered 3 Nirvana songs (at least on tape), but none of them have been put on the computer (they would pale in comparison to the originals anyway). Instead, I offer this original song, which would not have come into existence without inspiration from Mr. Cobain.

James Iha cover song from 1998. Figured this out by ear. I think I had to listen repeatedly about 100 times before I got everything. Then I took about 8 takes to record this, and just gave up at the end. Oh well, most of it is good.

This was the 1998 version of the song that was included on “Not An Album”. This came up on shuffle today, and although it struggles to hold itself together, I was blown away at how loud the guitar was. I think I overcompensated on this due to the quietness of the “Pornucopia” album earlier that year.

By 1998, I had a second acoustic guitar and an electric, so I converted my first one to a slide guitar since the frets were shot. It turned out to be a perfect slide guitar as the action is super-high (because the neck is bowed slightly out). I played “In My Time of Dying” a million times before I wrote this song, the first for slide guitar. I realize it’s not the best song now that I listen back, but I had fun playing it back in the day. Another Pornucopia outtake.

I thought of this song today and just wanted to repost it.

From the 1998 album “Not An Album”

Lyrics:
Well, I danced with her entranced
We learned that love was more than that
and in the course of this year that I never was so near to you
we watched TV, so what?
and I still love that girl
is that dumb?
and I realized my dreams
wish I could have dreamed some more
and so it seems that dreams are not what love is for
good night
I have to get to bed

Listen/purchase: Deification of Defecation by Jackass Penguins

This song is a call for the return of classic jazz scat singing. Oh wait, maybe that is a different song. Never mind, this one just rocks.

I know it’s only been a month since I posted this, but come on. Someone has to like this song. It’s about worshipping shit, literally and figuratively. I see it everywhere these days.

Listen/purchase: Goodbye by Jackass Penguins

Another short song. I can’t remember if this or Sleepy Dreamer closed out Not An Album. Enjoy.

Listen/purchase: I’ve Never Known This by Jackass Penguins

Sorry for the repost, but the last time I did this it didn’t turn out right.
