Return of Castro

An attempt at writing a song around a theme. Not sure how I got the vocal effect on the four track, but I suspect I panned the vocal to one side and everything else to the other, treating it as a two track and then putting the effect on one side on the computer.

The idea here was to base a simple song around the effect of a handheld tape recorder being paused and un-paused repeatedly, during a recording. Most of the vocal sounds were August. It sounds strange now.

The idea being that Budweiser drinkers are likely to enjoy sniffing superglue is a contentious one, and is still up for debate in some circles.

Sheer jest. I think August and I were up late, just playing song ideas. You can hear him singing a little backup in there.

You remember the first time you figured out how to flip the tape over and make music play backwards? Well, I do. It was when I made this song.
