"Rachel's Racist Rollercoaster"
This one cracked me up. My sister's name is Rachael. She's far from racist, but I'm not sure if she cares for coasters. I rode some crazy rides with her at a fair one summer because nobody else wanted to get on them, and after three,....I popped. Since then, my insides have become much more susceptible to the effects of the natural laws of physics. One is reversed, though. That is "What goes down, must come up".

We could move the love-seat, but then we'll need another end-table, and we won't be able to find one that matches the old one, so the love-seat stays right where IT'S fuckin AT!.
We could try,.... JUST TRY, mind you,..... to put that corner-curio that holds all the miniature glass vaginas into the dining-room. Wild idea, I know, but then the love-seat can be slid down the wall to the corner, eliminating the need for an end-table,.... so,...... yeah, that's what we're gonna fuckin do. Here, zip your pants and help me push this sum'bitch. Oh,... you're busy eating an ice-cream sandwich. That's cool. I'll just slay some "Duck Hunt" till you're done.

That riff around 0.20 is bloody brilliant...I will surely steal it...:-)
I my 'verse-bridge-chorus' cube-head I would bring back that marvellous riff in the 3rd part after the middle...
Amazing track my man!
Handshake, Danke
I tried bringing back the riff, too. Failed. The feeling had changed.
Thanks for the listen and the kind words!

Is gonna bang some fat chicks and let them nibble his ear
I said:
This mothafuckin' Nomad right here
Is gonna oil up some hefty hos and make them do interesting things to his rear
Then play some triangle, yeah!
I see you have been busy scootering. And fairly meanly too.
Damn, it's annoying to see This Mean Motor Scooter taken as a title. Like a nice lady you never bothered asking out and now she's spoken for and gone forever. I had the chance to use it but didn't bother and now it's your title for all eternity.
Intro is some sort of "rabble rocker hip hop". The kind of thing a crowd of heavy beer drinkers would chant at a gig. The one man Evanator gig.
0:20 pretty cool riffage.
0:37 a bit of a change pushing the riffage to other places.
1:30 change is a bit of a surprise.
1:33 nice delay on that reverbed drum hit, and the others that follow.
This is where the beer drinkers have a little break and drink some more beer, maybe load up a bowl before the riffage returns, as they know it must.
2:31 nice chunky riffage.
2:40 bass is really fucking deep and the mix is damn powerful. And then a meanish, yet gentle lead. This is better than the rabble rousing first 90 secs and more my thing. Deeper, more meaningful.
3:14 useful drum change. You're getting much better at that.
3:49 ending is a very tasty abrupt pull back. Sounds a lot like a good live band would do.
Guiness bottle top flick is a fun end.
Overall: not as good as Hypnoculars but still some nice shit.
Nomad, currently buying a hot shot gat from a north end guinea.

....Is gonna oil up some hefty hos and make them do interesting things to his rear"
Aaaahh,..... poetry. Shit made me laugh pretty fuckin hard. You need to throw that into your next track. Not the same way, or even your voice. The Stephen Hawking voice would be awesome, just stating it at the end of a track during a fade-out, all matter-of-fact like.
"Damn, it's annoying to see This Mean Motor Scooter taken as a title."
I'm sure it is. You were just too slow. "This Angry Hoveround" is still available! Also "These Perturbed Vespas". They are all solid gold. "That Happy Solar-Powered Fan-Boat" would be the antithesis of this track. Great for your trollings around swampy, atmospheric soundscapes.
"1:30 change is a bit of a surprise."
Good or bad? I like it. It is what I heard the earlier part going into. I like the background guitar there the most. Even got a little wah action in the middle there.
"really fucking deep....damn powerful..... meanish, yet gentle.....Deeper, more meaningful."
Those moments don't come often, but now that I'm getting better with distorted guitars, I'll be better at conveying what I'm trying to get across. I hear stuff in my head, but when I record it, it's pretty flat. This track was better.
"Overall: not as good as Hypnoculars but still some nice shit."
Hypnoculars and Constellation were my favorites from the past few months. They can't ALL be the best. We can go from the best track we've ever done, swiftly into the worst, most uninspired shit shamefully attempted,.... and vice/versa. It's the one kind of "magic" I believe in. A sound can inspire a feeling, that feeling can inspire more sound.
Nothing new worth mentioning here. The 16th of January was 2 years, for me, without a cigarette. What sucks is that I quit smoking at the beginning of two really shitty years, but I stuck with it. Glad the hard, psychological shit is over with. Bad things, cigarettes. I don't recommend them.
Evan, antes up with his ass 'cause he ain't got a penny.

I must admit I haven't listened to your music in the past as much or as intently as I should have, and listening this makes me wonder what else you've got.
This one is absolutely awesome on the production side. I could totally hear this on the radio. Your stuff is different than what I normally listen to but still madly modern and fresh; I dig madly modern and fresh.
Is that your vocal at the start? So wide and clear. Your production chops are up there with some of the most professional studios I've heard, and I don't say that lightly. You have insane mixing skills.
Your guitar work is spot-on. I could totally imagine more percussion instruments accompanying the song towards the latter half, but dannnnnnnnng this is one driving song. Great work.
Brado
"listening this makes me wonder what else you've got"
The newer, the better. "Onward" is my oldest on here and it and many other old ones are cringe-worthy to me now. I'd say, disregard the older page of songs and try anything from 26 to 50. I listened to your mash-up of your stuff in chronological order and thought it was a neat idea. Cool ending to that medley of yours, by the way.
"Is that your vocal at the start? So wide and clear."
The vocal is myself. It's three different takes, panned and then a couple where duplicated, then dropped, one to the lower 4th and the other the lower octave,... then blended with reverb and delay on different tracks. There are about six tracks there and none of them have the same thing going on. Vocals are not my strong suit. I don't have the most forceful voice. I'd be great on NPR.
" I could totally imagine more percussion instruments accompanying the song towards the latter half"
I have no other project going at this time, so I may go back in there and add some stuff. I appreciate the suggestion! That is what it's all about. This place and it's users are very helpful. We're lucky to find it.
Hope all is well with you!
Take care.

I can tell by the wave form that dynamics are about to change again but I'm totally unprepared for the sonic tsunami that's about to hit.
I like the nice little "tink" there just prior to impact.
YEAH, awesome metal chordage and this baby is Full-on rockin!
I thoroughly enjoyed the arrangement and how you vary it up back and forth, Middle East vibe, more brutal rockin and then you slide back into that Slide with more accompaniment for the outro. Loads of tasty stuff crammed into this track bro. Your really coming on strong Evan, major props on this one man.

New avatar is hip. It's the cover of AC/DC's new album about selling lots of Converse. First single? "Shoe To Thrill".
"I think in the second measure of this onslaught you should have added some double bass drums before you went into the Rainforest Café theme."
Agreed. I always wish I'd added more detailed drums and percussion to all my tracks after I'm done with them.
"Galapagos Tortoise....DoDo.....dolphin fritters....Rainbow Warrior trout.....fair trade chocolate..... Long Pig"
I prefer Spotted Owl Kabobs and Snow Leopard Jerky, though we both know the best dipping sauce is made from a reduction of the tears of those scurrying African children. Mmmmm...... despair.
I appreciate the listen and the kind words, along with much appreciated advice. Thanks again.

You speak like someone who has never been smacked in the fucking mouth.
That's OK, the Nomad has the remedy.*
Don't worry about the late reply. There are older track comments of mine that you still haven't answered. But maybe you have a limit to how much you want to discuss, for instance, Tally Pruit. The Nomad has no such limit.
I think I covered most of the notable points of your fine track last time except for the drums, which have improved so much in the last couple of years.
"Unforgiving"
I told you sliding about was tricky. Such a combination of careful listening and reacting very quickly to wrongness with micro slide wiggles. Sometimes playing faster or more aggressive stuff is like doing some dangerous physical activity at high speed, navigating by feel and having confidence that you just will hit the right notes and stay in time and so on. You can get away with a bit more wrongness when it's fast or aggressive but when slower you need to be accurate and tasteful with your notes and movements.
More Ear Than Eye is a potential track title.
Sliderman says hi and asks if you can be in Manila next Thursday afternoon for your first Sliderbro mission.
Good luck in court. Try not to fall asleep or fart out loud. Silent is OK and would have to be very violent to put you in contempt of court.
Your case could be that of a goat-fucking murderer. He or she leaves a fucked goat at the scene of multiple murders. It takes a wily old alcoholic detective about to retire to spot this key piece of evidence overlooked by all the other Missouri cops.
Or the case could be Cynthia D and Tally P teaming up and reoffending. Will The Evanator send them back to the big house?
I had not heard of Silent Lucidity so I Googled that shit. Might listen later.
Thanks again for my Hypnoculative Xmas present.
Unlimited Nomad, watch things die from a good safe distance
* mildly modified Puscifer lyrics from The Remedy, on the new album. Heard it?
I've yet to hear any new Puscifer. The Mission and Potions are the latest I've heard. Not been looking for anything new lately. I'm going to grab Karnivool's latest pretty soon. 3 years old and I've still not acquired it.
"There are older track comments of mine that you still haven't answered."
No doubt. I usually move on and focus on the present track after a few days of the last track being on here. I've answered a few old ones that had things requesting response, but I've been trying to not leave any new comments unanswered.
Court went quickly. No farts (from me, anyway). Dude had 2 counts Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and 2 counts Child Endangerment. Basically, a young gangsta thug went down the street to another thug's house who owed him money and brandished his gun as a sign of intimidation and thug-mastery, and the guy's 2 little kids were there and saw it. That's it. Not a goat in the case. Shame.
Having no children, therefore no protective parental instinct, the prosecution eliminated me as a juror. They got rid of the old, young and childless. You know, the happy people.
Evan, fucked Dwight Yocum. Johnny Cash grabbed his ankles and he hollered when I poked 'em.

The heavy part is probably my favorite as well, but I also really like the lap-steep leads. It's always nice to get new instruments and let your mind wrap around them. Keeps the noodle malleable. I say that, but I just got a smartphone and I am CERTAIN it was making me dumber, so I took everything off of it, so it's just a damn phone now. That's better.
I will be doing more recording of percussion in the future. My frog guiros can't be in everything, but they can make an appearance from time to time. I'll have to build an arsenal.
Thanks again for the listen!

Now with added slide balls, which have well and truly dropped.
You're just one day late with my Xmas present but it was well worth the wait as there's some total badassery on display here.
If you ended this at 2:28 it would be an awesome track and right up there with the finest you've made.
First couple of secs sound like a nice warm pad and then we're into some pretty tasty sliding about. No wimpy country winge at all. Sliderman totally approves and is ready to recruit you as Sliderbro for part-time worldwide slide missions.
Background bongoey percussion is working just fine.
0:52 delicate riff is mildly Tooly but also effective, which is the main thing.
1:04 is so firmly up the Nomad street, with its Middle Eastern desert vibe.
Very laidback and funky kind of Mali desert blues (see a group called Tinariwen).
1:51 and the desert bombing campaign has begun! Total badassery right up another of the Nomad's favourite streets. The one filled with killer riffage and balls flying wildly all over the place.
2:04 lead is melodic and reminds me a little of what I was getting up to in Chasm (heavy low riffage and melodic chilled lead guit fiddle).
2:28 battle aftermath back out in the desert.
2:51 return of the slide is cool. You've totally got the hang of this with your first attempt, Daniel San. Must be beginner's luck.
3:15 nice sort of cowbell, the kind of thing I'd stick in and we're back to the badass as it had to return.
3:51, again, would be just fine for an ending but you just can't stop yourself adding more and more nice shit.
3:52 new part is very cool and bright and sunny and bouncy. Then bass g (hey, I'd totally forgotten about that) and drums return 4:03 to add some weight and rock vibe. Slide slides back in (the only way it can).
Fadeout ending is very tasteful and so much better than many of your others.
This has got to be the most Nomadic/Nomadesque/Slidermanish track you've made. Have I been any influence at all or is it just a complete coincidence?
With these hypnoculars I really can see for thousands of miles and even see you sitting proudly in your wide Missouri landscape, happy with your fine new creation and continued musical evolution.
Nomad, still pissing all over The Evanator's black kettle, with no intention of stopping before the New Year.
Pretty happy to hear the opinions on the lap-steel parts. It's a slippery slope, and takes more ear than eye. Unforgiving. I was picking on it yesterday and stumbled upon the verse to "Silent Lucidity". No cover coming, just thought it was neat.
"First couple of secs sound like a nice warm pad"
A stretched and reversed lap-steel chord.
"Background bongoey percussion is working just fine."
That's my Guiro. I'll soon be putting pictures of them, and the lap-steel, on the thread "Show Your Studio", or whatever it was called.
"Have I been any influence at all or is it just a complete coincidence?"
Don't know. I really just play what comes out. Though, anything I listen to, and like, has to have some kind of effect.
Next track has still not been started, though I've had a vocal line stuck in my head for a couple weeks, and that's probably going to be the intro. Mean Motor Scooter may be the title. Don't know. I've not opened the DAW for over a week. Wife has been on vacation, and I've not had the time in the evening to write or record.
I hope everything is going well for you. I'm writing this at 5:30 a.m., waiting to go to the Court House for Jury-Duty. Surely the most fun day of my life. I can think of nothing I'd rather do. Could be a murder, could be a goat-fucker. Coin flip out here. Time will tell!
Evan, done hung the guilty with the innocent.
on Doobie Juice by Evisma
We are rather different kinds of bassists. Neither wrong. I can't do what you do. You've got the tone realm down, for sure. You can hold down the bottom and make it a moving, living, breathing thing.
I learned by playing Tool songs and trying to play guitar lines on my bass. I never had anyone (sober) to play with, so I had to write lead stuff on the bass if I wanted to be writing anything at all.
I've seen a good amount of Gilligan's Island. Maddening. Had they just killed Gilligan, they wouldn't have spent more than a few days on that island. It would have been The Millionaire who came up with the plan, of course. He had the most to lose, and would be the most motivated to do away with any hazardous individuals who threaten their escape. Sneaking up behind him and clapping coconut halves over the ears causing a deadly concussion is one option. Hiding the citrus and letting scurvy work it's magic is another. Though really, we both know The Skipper would drag him, kicking and screaming into the ocean, and just hold him under till his annoying little legs finally achieve a satisfying stillness, keeping the hat as a memento.
Thanks for the kind words on this track. It's far from my best. I'd hoped you would have heard a better one, like "Constellation" or "Hunting For Gatherers". I'm still getting better and I hope you will give some of my other stuff a chance as well. Your opinion means a lot to me, and is always appreciated.
Take care, Dave.

Shitloads of guit fiddle and crashing drums and not much synth.
Still not happy with the title. Maybe you can come up with something better. I'm looking for something that combines beauty and heavy power. And maybe something a bit cosmic and psychedelic too.
Sorry if it wasn't what you wanted this year but I didn't know what else to get you.
on Constellation by Evisma
How does it go?
Just some replies to your replies:
You may get your "levelling Syria" wish/bet as I think the RAF (British Air Force) have already started bombing. Maybe there will be retaliation bombing campaigns over meth-heavy Ozark regions. Be on your guard and if you see something, say something.
"we'd have to get Behnam out of Iran before we level it."
How about not bombing anywhere, you crazy Yank?
" adding more wang into the picture"
I promise I will add no wang. Sounds like Constellation might be able to accommodate a 1-incher but 11 will surely be too much for a microvag. Terrible risk of tearing.
Teeth pain is mainly over but damn it took ages (10 days). Not sure I had any injection sites as I was under full anaesthetic so utterly oblivious to everything.
"I may be more Sliderboy than Sliderman for a while, till my lap-steel balls drop."
If you're going with the youthful/inexperienced analogy for your current level of slide proficiency, I think you'll have to be SlideBaby. Maybe I'm more Grand Slide Daddy or Grand Slide Wizard. No, I'm not really that great but I have been doing it for about 10 years. Slide is hard, with lots of accuracy required to avoid undesired notes. I'm looking forward to hearing your first slide creation.
Try dropping your balls on your lap steel. I do that quite often to get a different tone. And that way you know your music is nothing if not ballsy.
I was going to give The Evanator an end of year review but I think I've run out of words.
Nomad, the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not.

on Constellation by Evisma
Remember that time I said you're on the verge of breaking through into that sound that's all your own? Well, my friend, you are well past that threshold. Granted, this one still has some pretty hefty nods to those who's name shall remain unspoken, but it's like the equivalent of my "Red On The White" in that sense. It's got a strong Floyd vibe, but it's not intended to sound like them. Ya know?
I have to agree with Tumbleweed, man. This one is clearly your best yet. I kind of feel like saying this on damn near every track you put out cheapens the meaning, but when you come back with each track, it's improved far beyond the last. The composition, the mixing, the instrumentation, all of it is exactly how it should be.
I have no critiques, criticisms, or suggestions, man. You nailed it as far as I'm concerned!
I'd still love to do a collab one of these times. You know, put in my synths real Sloe like right into your Bass hole...er, uhhh....NO HOMO! I need to go wash off the filth now.
Later, man.
Aaron.
The high praise is not easy for me to accept. It is appreciated. I'm wanting to create my music more closely to what I hear in my mind, and the longer I hold on to them and lay my thoughts upon them, the truer they are to their origin. I had a pretty busy spurt for about a year and a half. Now it's more about quality over quantity.
"put in my synths real Sloe like right into your Bass hole"
Just bring the valve oil, baby. You're in for a treat. I'm practiced in the art of Strobe-Clenching. You'll never be the same. I leave dongs looking like they have heat-sinks.
Take care.

Lotta love, and rightly so, for this nice track bro.
After listening again a few more times, I don't think I have any real criticism or suggestions.
I would also like to be friends with Constellation. Introduce it/her to some of my tracks and see if it/she feels the same. I don't want to barge in on a complicated relationship situation.
I didn't understand "Usually about opening new lines of equity", though I can see it rhymes.
Yes, tracks are taking more like a month for me now as well. I've slowed down after knocking them out at a furious pace in the 1st half of 2015. Made about 5 albums' worth of tracks this year, average track length 8.8 mins.
Your lap steel tuning doesn't make much sense to me but I'm not really up on alternative tunings. I just know my own (DADF#AD), the one I've used for 10 years. I know you already go somewhat alternative with your bass g tuning.
Nomad news: On Friday I had my first ever proper operation - all 4 wisdom teeth removed so had inner cheeks cut open and stitched back up. Still recovering at home.
While I was in the hospital, I thought I might as well ask if they could also do a dick extension before or after the teeth removal. "Sure, why not" was the reply. I asked for 5 inches but they generously gave me 10 so I now have an awesome 11-incher.
I bet Moby Dick still taunts you. In my library of family books I just found a 248 page copy. I'm guessing it's an abridged version, possibly with the tedious descriptive stuff you mentioned removed. Or maybe they've kept it in and got rid of some good bits. Only one way to find out.
Best of luck unlocking your inner Sliderman, brush hogging and so on.
Nomad, getting it on with angels on the sideline again.
"Iran was wiped off the map in a sneak US nuclear strike"
I'm thinking that leveling Syria may be a better bet right now, and we'd have to get Behnam out of Iran before we level it.
"I don't want to barge in on a complicated relationship situation"
It is an awkward one. See, she was seeing a really nice haiku for a long time. Took care of himself, minded his syllables, paused at the right times. Until one day she was swept off her feet when she met a muzak version of Chumbawamba's "Tub-Thumping". Far less pretentious than the haiku, and hung like a beast,.... which holds the problem. Constellation has been cursed with a very tiny vagina, and though she really, really likes Tub-Thumper, he's just too much man. Should she go back to haiku after such an change?? It's all too much right now and adding more wang into the picture will only make things worse. Check back around June.
"I didn't understand 'Usually about opening new lines of equity'".
A small joke about god needing money. Disregard.
"Your lap steel tuning doesn't make much sense to me but I'm not really up on alternative tunings."
Like standard tuning, but the A tuned up to B, and the D tuned up to an F#. Like fretting 2 and 4 on A and D, respectively.
Good luck with the healing. I know when I had four out at a time, (everything behind the bottom left canine), the worst part was the injection sites. Not the ravine that was left behind. The needle holes up above the gum-line are the biggest bitch. I'm glad I have all the removing done. Took 9 out. Myriad of fillings. I have a partial that gives nearly all of them back to me. $6,800 after all was said and done. Now it's just two checkups and a crown a year, till all the teeth with huge fillings are replaced.
"I just found a 248 page copy. I'm guessing it's an abridged version"
Surely. Mine is about as thick as a pack of cigarettes is wide. I believe I passed 100 pages and they hadn't left the harbor yet. Very engaging till they get out to the open water an start hunting the white whale. Then the story totally stops. Fucking bullshit. I have endless patience,.... but zero tolerance.
Lap steel is going OK. I may be more Sliderboy than Sliderman for a while, till my lap-steel balls drop.
Take care.
