Eric and I are putting together a demo cd to get gigs, and we will sort out what we think are the best cuts from our recordings here. If anyone is out there, we would love to know what you think of the songs. We have decided to call the band rreplay. We had been initialing all the songs rrep for Eric (EP) and me (RR), and Karen came up with a whole bunch of song titles punning on words beginning with “rep.” We thought rreplay sort of captures what we’re doing then, no? Anyway, on to the music.<\/p>\n
My favorite thing we’ve done as of right now is a very loose cover of a chicha song by Los Mirlos<\/a> — “Sonido Amazonico.” Ours is going by the name of “Amazonia Dub<\/a>” right now. Chica is hybrid pyschedelic surf twang cumbia music played by hard partying Peruvians who had come to the oil boom cities of Amazonian Peru in the 1960s. Great stuff. You can find out more at Los Mirlos’s website and at Barbes Records<\/a>, where you can hear a whole collection of Chicha songs. Once I heard it I had to get the album!<\/p>\n My second favorite song that clocks in under ten minutes is this one<\/a>, which for now is called “cool keep” (We have to figure out what to do with the longer stuff, like this trip-hoppy kind of thing<\/a>). I also like this little slide blues<\/a> from last week. This is its rowdier sister<\/a>. We’ll probably put one blues thing on just to mix it up.<\/p>\n Well, that’s all for now. As always check out all the free music on way.net<\/a> if you like what you’ve found here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eric and I are putting together a demo cd to get gigs, and we will sort out what we think are the best cuts from our recordings here.
