Hozpitality – The Second Album (2011)

Leave a comment

The second album from Hozpitality. This one was hustled into production from the overwhelming popularity of the first album. It was short so it was called an e.p. (which is short for extended play. It is a musical recording which contains more music than a single, but is too short to qualify as a full album or LP). Oddly enough it is slightly longer than the first album. Hozpitality once again keeps you on your toes!

This album lovingly includes the “Tuffy Goosewich Suite”.  These were songs that were created using samples from the The Conet Project-Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations.  These samples were used in conjunction with Sony Acid Studio to make some sort of musical ambient sensation of subtle mystery and freakishness.

The name Tuffy Goosewich is a misspelling of the Phillies Minor League Baseball player “Tuffy” Gosewich, who was being profiled in the news at the time of the creation of these tracks.  His likeness has been lovingly distorted on the album cover.  There is no reason for this association other than it being a funny sounding name (poor guy).  Nobody should take offense to this use, as there is no malicious intent… get over it!  The way things are on the Internet these days, there is a chance this could actually make the guy more famous (if his name wasn’t so damned funny).

Track List:

  1. Tuffy Goosewich Suite(Bob Version 1) (1:46)
    Bitchin Bob’s shot at the suite.
  2. Property Patch Whore (2:12)
    Denise and CeMeGo reminisce about a night at a bar where a bunch of motorcycling whore’s come to get drunk and beat the crap out of each other.
  3. Tuffy Goosewich Suite(Chad Version 1) (1:19)
    CeMeGo’s attempt at the Tuffy suite.
  4. I’m Gonna Put This on My iPhone (2:39)
    CeMeGo hates the iPhone (guest starring Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty) (2:39)
  5. Here Kitty Kitty(Daddy n Meez Gonna Cum) (3:29)
    A family affair on the phone (where most of these take place).  Gladys is not amused!
  6. Tuffy Goosewich Suite(Chad Version 2) (1:54)
    Funny how radio noise can break down into something completely musical and misdirected at the same time.
  7. Albino Goomba (2:41)
    Need a catch phrase?  Hate everyone including yourself? This is the song for you!  If you make a t-shirt out of any of these phrases, please contact us for a good laugh!  (Language not suitable for children or anyone with rational thought).
  8. Tuffy Goosewich Suite(Dirty Mayonnaise Finale) (1:26)
    A grand finale collaboration where the radio noise becomes the musical notes.  If digital audio needed a razor blade to cut tape, this song’s creators would all have bled to death.

Tools used:

Sony Acid Loops
Adobe Audition (blah!)
Olympus Digital Voice Recorder WS-600S
Radio Shack Voice Memo Recorder

Hozpitality-Expressway To Your Anus

Track list:

  1. Buy Now Viagra Cialis (2:30)
    Spam never sounded so sexy.
  2. Where’s My Medicine? (6:27)
    Bob asks the age old question.  For when the pain, the itching, and the inflammation starts.
  3. Cemego One (8:14)
    New instruments, new experiment.  This was an initial stab at dynamic phrase synthesis.
  4. Hey Yahhh (4:16)

  5. Expressway To Uranus (6:08)

  6. Requiem For A Post Holiday Wednesday (for Gamera) (9:17)
    How to sound close to Stevie Nicks’ Stand Back, without trying.
  7. Kevin and Mary (3:29)
    Allow this tune to vaporize into your grey matter while Mary inevitably plays Nintendo.
  8. Deep Fissures (2:22)
    Chugging up like a train, to a bouncy sound about a crevasse.  When they ask, say “no way!”
  9. Burp A Burp of Liquid Dynomite (1:13)
    Burpy and explosive conclusion to your travel down the Expressway to Uranus.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk Plays ALL The Instruments!

1 Comment

How many instruments can YOU play at once. Better yet, how many WIND instruments can you play at once?

The interesting thing here is, it provides such a unique sound. This is Rahsaan Roland Kirk (the multi wind instrument guy). This stuff was introduced to me by Pauly at Ray’s Happy Birthday Bar in South Philly.

Good shit!

To hell with Sinatra this guy kicks his ass!

Scott Walker kicks ass!

And if one day I should become, A singer with a Spanish bum,
Who sings for women of great virtue
I’d sing to them with a guitar, I borrowed from a coffee bar,
Well, what you don’t know doesn’t hurt you
My name would be Antonio, And all my bridges I would burn, And when I gave them some they’d know,
I’d expect something in return
I’d have to get drunk every night, And talk about virility, With some old grandmother,
That might be decked out like a Christmas tree
And though pink elephants I’d see, Though I’d be drunk as I could be, Still I would sing my song to me,
About the time they called me “Jacky”

If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute Cute in a stupid ass way

And if I joined the social whirl, Became procurer of young girls,
Then i would have my own bordellos
My record would be number one, And I’d sell records by the ton,
All sung by many other fellows
My name would then be handsome Jack, And I’d sell boats of opium, Whiskey that came from Twickenham
Authentic queers, And phony virgins
If I had banks on every finger, A finger in every country, And every country ruled by me,
I’d still know where I’d want to be
Locked up inside my opium den, Surrounded by some china men, I’d sing the song that I sang then,
About the time they called me “Jacky”

If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute Cute in a stupid ass way

Now, tell me, wouldn’t it be nice, That if one day in paradise,
I’d sing for all the ladies up there,
And they would sing along with me, And we be so happy there to be,
Cos’ down below is really nowhere
My name would then be Juniper, And then I would become all knowing, Then I would know where I was going,
My beard so very long and flowing
If I became deaf, dumb and blind, Because I pitied all mankind, And broke my heart to make things right
I know that every single night
When my angelic work was through, The angels and the Devil too, Would sing my childhood song to me
About the time they called me “Jacky”

If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute Cute in a stupid ass way

Korg Monotron, Kaossilator, and iMS20 app for iPad

Leave a comment

This is a bit from a day long jam session when Kevin and Mary. Kevin brought over a fretless bass and iPad with the Korg iMS20 application on it. We plugged in the iPad, my Kaossilator, and the (squeaky always out of tune) Monotron and jammed for the afternoon/evening.

I came away with 3, 25-30 minute long jam recordings. I spent time last night breaking them into 4 separate tracks.

1 is 3:29
2 is 1:22
3 is 9:39
and 4 is 25:18 (nice and long).

I’m putting up track 1 here. Tell me what you think! I think we’re getting better at this stuff. I particularly find myself listening to a lot of this stuff ON PURPOSE!!! (Imagine that shit!) It’s actually enjoyable.

Check it out. Track 1 from the Kevin/Mary/Cemego day!

It is NOT ALL THE INSTRUMENTS AT ONCE (for instance, the monotron didn’t make it into this one) but the other 3 tracks are definitely worthwhile. I’ll put them in the mp3volumes as soon as I’m settled with them. If you cant wait to hear them, either visit me or make a special request and you can get them off the FTP.

For some stupid reason I’m really proud of the noises that have been coming out of my house.

Here’s images and links to the stuff we used to make this noise. Click the image for a link to the site for each “toy”.

Hozpitality-Requiem For A Post Holiday Wednesday

1 Comment

This time I’m using the Korg Kaossilator, Monotron, and Sony Acid Loops.

Worked about 2 hours on this one.  Started out almost like a carbon copy of the opening of Stevie Nicks’s “Stand Back”, but Gamera made sure that didn’t happen!

Quite proud!  Gamera proud for me!!!

CRANK IT UP!!!!!!!!!

GRR! Gamera glad holidays over!
