		<description><![CDATA[Chico, CA independent band Beat Concrete post their new song demo, 'W R Doctor Funkenstein', as a free MP3 for non-commercial use. It's a 3-minute paean to peace and social justice disguised as a silly rock song.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spent Sunday recording this and then made some tweaks and got a mix together today. Pretty much the same process as for &#8216;The End of the World&#8217;: cranked it out using Project5 and the little Line6 GearBox. Had to dig out my M-Audio Firewire 410 interface to record vocals as I didn&#8217;t want to go through the hassle of getting a microphone into the 1/4&#8243; input of the GearBox. That turned out to be a mistake as the 410 is really a POS that always has driver problems. It almost destroyed my laptop (had to do a serious CHKDSK) but finally got it working although it wouldn&#8217;t work side-by-side with the Line6 box.</p>

<p>The whole goal of demos is to record something simply and easily but it wasn&#8217;t the case this time. But technology aside it was pretty easy to come up with the parts to go with the main guitar and vocal lines and Beki and I had some fun Sunday night singing background vocals. The song and mix aren&#8217;t very tight but it got a draft down on tape (so to speak) so that we can start playing it as a band in rehearsal. Which won&#8217;t be until next month when Ken gets back from his Euro vacation.</p>
<p>For once I wrote a 3-minute song. It&#8217;s a simple little ditty with some covert messages about peace and social justice. But mostly just a little ditty&#8230;</p>
<p>You can stream it from the player below (you can also download it from there, actually) or right-click and save from the link below.</p>
