Tarantula - Creature fest

[ODH]

Recommend playing loud in a dark room, preferably with a joint. Song about a spider.

DM-1 drum machine, guitar and bass through the tiny practice amp, mic'd.

Tons of delay on the vocals.

Being environmentally conscious, I recycled some lyrics from an old rock standard.

Cool little ditty. I was expecting maybe a Boris (the Spider) reference, but didn't catch it.

I like how you did it this way. It feels more organic to me - more "air" - get those transducers humming.

this is so fun and i like your comments about the recycled lyrics...

I might be somewhat weird and creative but I think you got me beat hands down... cool you are posting more... the mix is fun, quirky and cool... reminds me of crazy stuff the Beat les did... only better..
I am straight right now but will have to revisit later under differing circumstances.

Nice fun track but unfortunately it's not helping my arachnaphobia - anything bigger than a money spider freaks me out, especially those orb spiders with the big fat abdomens, yeuch! And that feeling you get when you walk through a web and you feel it on your face. I thought, this would be great if it ended in a scream and it did !

Smoking fest entry we used to watch the tranantula curl up and roll like balls on a windy day always left them alone big fangs on them

There's a lot of tarantula for a closer to a four minute song.

I dig it, but if i see a tarantula approaching i will squash it. Sorry. That's them rules.

So far you are owning the Creature Fest!

The other day my daughter shrieked in the back yard and said there was a huge spider by the clothesline. I did my usual, "Don't be such a baby" thing. I wen't and looked at it and, holy shit, it was huge! Almost as big as my hand.

I love the naive feel of this – like some of the early experimental stuff that came out when punk was a little more creative.

Excellent.

wow creepy song and i should have listened to it with a joint

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

I hate spiders, ( I also wrote a song about that) but I love this..yeah there's not much to the lyrics, ha, but it's repetitiveness is very catchy, it expands a bit more in the middle part, and the music builds up more and it sounds great. Nice ending, ( that's how I'd scream if I saw one)
