Hey, Aspen! It’s great to see you here! I thought you’d be in Japan by now.

If you’re going to be able to make it to Yule camp-out, I’ll bring some recording gear with me and we can lay down a track or two…

Hugs!

Hearing this played “live” very late Saturday night at the campfire was amazing! Thank you for posting it up, and I’d be happy to lend anything left of my voice (post-decay) to the chorus of “Brraaaiinnnses!”

Hey, Shakti! It’s great to see you here! I’m glad you like the song. I’m just trying to do my small part to educate people about the threat.

I hope you hang out here some more. In any case, I look forward to seeing you and the gang next month. Hugs right back.

I just added a remix of ‘Fast Zombie Blues’ to the body of my post.

Like I said, my ears were toast when I finished on Sunday, and I agree with the guys at KVR that the vocals and lead guitar were mixed way too hot.

This one probably isn’t a final master, but I like it a lot better than the original.

I can’t tell from my home monitoring whether the bass is going to translate well, so would appreciate some feedback on that. I used a free soundfont for it, and have sent off for a pro sample set to replace it with.

Got an amazing deal on the bass software. (Rachael is laughing at me when she reads this…)

Wait? An opportunity to flame thrower you all?!

Had I but known, I would have done it years ago!

I am awed. I would lay my brain at your feet, but those damned Zombies would probably get it away from you…

I’m in love with Johnny Cash, so the song is doubly awesome. Any zombie-themed anything brings back fond memories of those formalin-soaked days in gross anatomy lab, late at night, Janis Joplin blaring through my .mp3 player, hoping against hope that none of the bodies got restless…..
Seriously great song.
I expect an encore live performance at Yule.
I’m sure we can convince the troops to supply a ‘brraaaaiinnns’ chorus, and to shamble about in an appropriately complimentary way.
Kidneys!,
Becca

Brad — I’m actually pretty interested in doing a vid and putting it up on YouTube. I can see it now — Caroline as the Queen of the Zombies, you and the pups all zombified and still bonded in un-death, hunting as a pack.

Barb is forced to put you all down in the interests of peace in the neighborhood. But she can’t bring herself to do it, so Rach has to flame you all. She enjoys it, of course. Oh, the possibilities are endless…

John — Glad you liked it! Uh, you’d make a great anti-paramedic in the vid, if you know what I mean.

Outstanding! As you well know it’s not ‘if’ the Zombies attack….. It’s ‘when’ Qapla’ John

We can make the video happen.

This is swell, Rory — you know, “swell” as in “swollen brain.” I love it.

(And it’s one second short of three minutes. Perfect!)

The only thing lacking is a Zombie chorus in the background at the end of each verse: “Braiinnss! BRAIIIINNNSSS!!!”

I thought about that.

It might be a group project….

Oh, my goodness, it needs a video.

Awesome zombie song! And the fast one is definitely better. I like!
