Made it to hump day, in fact almost over out here on the west coast of California. Downhill to the weekend now. I hope the week has gone good for you. If you haven't seen my You Tube Video, "Short History of the Human Project," I am putting the link here for you to check it out. It sums everything up from 2006 to pretty close to present in a nice condensed manner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OAlz5U198k I am heading out of town Friday, but will try to get another post up and a new Podomatic Show too. Keep it Rockin.   Keep it Rockin
Appreciate all of you. Great response to this show! It is not featured anymore but you can access it from the link I have provided below. Detailed comments on each track. Every so often I do a Podcast of just my music. (Human's Show on Podomatic) On this particular one, I play stuff I have recorded in my home studio. It kinda has a more raw edge to it, more organic. On most tracks I play almost all the instruments. There are a few tracks that I have had AC Myles come over and add a lead track. This has worked out well, and seems to always elevate the track. Here is a track listing of this show that has just put up. ( I usually leave for 24 hours.) www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thehumanproject/episodes/2019-03-25T05_53_46-07_00 Tracks Well All Right I play everything. I use a cardboard box for a snare drum sound and soak it in reverb. I hit a tamberine with a spoon to get that cool beat. You can hear in way over on the right channel or right speaker. I added a hot strat lead and during the lead break, I put a strat rhythm guitar that is funky and gives it a cool groove. Something Big I did this song about 6 weeks ago. It's a Tom Petty track of his 1981 Hard Promises release. It's acoustic driven with a scorching lead guitar track provided by AC Myles. We got our mojo workin on this one. Not Fade Away I did this about a month ago. It's my tribute to Buddy Holly and there is a really good You Tube Video on my You Tube Page. I play everything and had AC Myles add the hot rhythm chops. Happy with the way this came out. None of these 3 tracks have been released. Blues State of Mind Recorded a couple of years ago and it made it onto my Fadin To Gray download only release. It's just a little diddy I was messin with. When AC came over, I had him toss a lead on it. I decided to release it. Bad Luck Simply an acoustic version of my song that is on "Best of the Human Project," 2010. I like it. Very sparse. For What It's Worth I have always loved this song. I feel its still relevant. I recorded it a couple of years ago. AC Myles put a killer lead on it. It's on Fadin To Gray and people are already downloading it. 57 Channels (Nothin On) From Springsteen's Human Touch Release in the early 90's. I always really like it, so I took a crack at it. I play everything. It's on Fadin To Gray. Mescaline Alley A very trippy song about a guy who had obviously indulged and ended up in an alley that lead to a hot music scene down at the end. Just walk past the dumpster, and there is a big wooden door. Enter, and the groove begins. AC steps up with the trippy reverb soaked guitar required to help create the ambiance. Fadin To Gray Title Track to my last release that was an online, download one only that came out in February. This one is about have fast time goes by and how quickly we all Fade to Gray. Absolutely smokin lead guitar work by AC Myles  6 CD's and one Download only release. One of the top selling artists in the Central Valley of California.
Blues Hall of Fame Inductee in 2010. It's a full blown weekend now. Hope you enjoy it. The weather is unstable here, could rain some and unseasonably cool again. All of us that live in the Central Valley of California know that the heat is just around the corner. You know, the 100 + stuff. So, we will take what we got right now. Today I will get serious with "Well Allright," to see if I can get it to come together. I have made several stabs at it and they have left me not satisfied. But these attempts have me with a plan now to get it done.  The Yahama F450 is the core driving source of the song. I am then gonna add in bass and scratch vocal. I am not sure if the Strat is gonna get used. I have a form of a kick drum and snare I will add along with some shakers. I will get it warm and funky. I could send it to AC Myles if I feel like his expertise is needed. What I like about the track is the raw sound. It's cool I think you will like if I can bring it all together.  Raw Human Project, 2013. A tight and lethal unit. This was the last gig I did. Fresno is a cover song good ole boy town.
Hump Day. Downhill to the weekend once we get today out of the way. I talked a little about vinyl on last post because I was at Boo Records in San Luis Obispo. Below is a picture of a reel that uses Analog tape.  Analog tape machine. This can be used for a variety of purposes. Copying, mixing and even allowing you to channel it into digital sources like Pro Tools. Big boards are used to record artists and mix. The sound is very warm and authentic. You get this with tube amps and analog. Digital sources are sterile and very clean and many old school type people just don't dig it. Keith Richards is one good example of being very outspoken about digital. I just don't fight it. Its hard to find good analog studio's. They are all digital now. Most can't tell the difference today anyway. Recording studio's are dying because of all the software now available for home studio's, but it's hard to beat the sound of a professional studio.  Last Train Out. 2011 Release.
All Human Project Music can be found on sites like Spotify, Apple Music, I Tunes etc. I hope everyone had a great weekend and St. Pat's day if you are into that. Was over at the Central Coast of California in the San Luis Obispo area for a couple of days. The weather was great! Puttin up a couple of pics for ya. Thanks for all your support it is much appreciated!  Boo Boo Records is in San Luis Obispo, CA. This store is the last of a dying breed. It still carries a deep selection of CD's and vinyl. I never miss stopping by when I am in the area. It is a music junkies dream. It manages to stay in business because it is so damn good at providing all this good stuff to it's customers, and there is a demand for it. If you are into vinyl cool, but beware because a lot of it is from digital sources not analog. Not the same.  This Irish Pub was just startin to rock when I went by. It is located in Solvang CA a Danish Community. It is about 50 miles north of Santa Barbara, CA  Sunset from Shell Beach, California. Very close to Pismo and about 10 miles south of San Luis Obispo.
