Auntie Warhol

If you reeeeaaally know how to scour early internet music dbs you may find a lingering mp3 of this from IUMA or on the Internet Archive or wherever all those old libraries went. But it has otherwise not yet been re-posted for the web 2.0 social era. It used to be called "When Hope Is Gone". It's me in like 1992 or 1993 with a couple-a synths and a cheap drum machine, and, as I've been going back through these older files and re-listenting, hoping to find something worth re-posting as-is -- I find it has the fortune of being one of the few things of that era which is spared of my insufferable singing. And, maybe it's a weird feeling or just because I'm medicated -- but I kinda feel vibes like December 2022 might finally be ready for this 30 year old masterpiece. Which I will now call Killing Throbbing Genesis [No Notes Remix] Because renaming it is the "remix", but it's a straight repost of the old mp3, which I pieced together in the early 2000s from old cassettes. [For the gearheads: in my foggy memory is this is mostly Korg DW-6000 layered on top of a 286-clone-era Sound Blaster 16 or some shit soundcard and the boss DR-550 drum machine. For mixing I think I may have had my soundcraft spirit-12 or whatever was their small 12-channel thing. Or I may have still been on Radio Shack. MIDI all sequenced from an early dos version of Cakewalk, going "midi-live" through the mixer down to two-track cassette.]

I think of this song as maybe Oingo Boingo introduces Dire Straits to Bad Religion at an early 90s rave. A reviewer back in the mp3-com days said the vocals remind them of Gentle Giant. I think that reviewer was right at least when he said "it's not like anything you've heard around here".
