Take yourself back to a glorious late 80’s summer in Maine.
The writing was on the wall. Two childhood friends, just out of high school, now separated by distance, realized they would never again play music in front of a live audience.
The solution was obvious. Record a punk rock masterpiece using cutting edge four track cassette technology. It could easily be done in less than a week. In fact it only took two days.
The guitar and drums were easy enough to record in the singer’s childhood bedroom. Using headphones and a cheap drum machine, it was a very discreet session.
The snag was how to capture the vocals ? There had been many four track recording escapades before this latest inspiration.
The earlier escapades prompted the singer’s parents to give gentle but firm love. They expressed their appreciation of art (or whatever it was) with guidance. Bedroom throat shredding was not something they were comfortable with in their house.
Happily, the guitarist/drummer/engineer had a snazzy red pick up truck and our heroes were in Maine. There are many places a short drive away where over the top vocals could be recorded on portable gear without bothering anyone except for maybe a squirrel.
Armed with a half tank of gas, a fresh pack of batteries and a punk rock dream, the intrepid duo set off to drive around a nearby lake. Stopping at various landings, the singer looked around and took lyrical inspiration from the surroundings.
From this fever dream we are left with just under four minutes of LAX. Shredding guitar, manic drums, and timeless poetry such as:
Squirrels in trees, Squirrels in trees, Squirrels in trees, Squirrels in trees.
They don’t do nothing
They don’t do nothing
Farmer Whiting’s Strawberry Farm… U Pick, U Pick, U Pick, U Pick
U Pick your own…
Strawberries, Strawberries, Strawberries, Strawberries.
U Pick your own.
Hoe
(an indecipherable rant about farm equipment?)

Every time I think never find a topic

Listen to the music and decide for yourself what was real.
