Comical Conversations #10

This is the 10th batch of Comical Conversations! Hurray!!!

I C Wut U Did Thar

As I sit in the parked car, 2 girls go up to their car in front of me and notice their parking ticket.

Girl 1: OH NO! A ticket!
Girl 2: What!!!! COME ON!!!!
1: I think you can fight this.
2: I’m going to fight this!!!

My friend comes back…

Ad: The car in front of us got a ticket…and the girls were all emo and angry and said they were going to fight it.
Jon: Um…they ARE parked in the handicap zone. Good luck…

The Best Bands

While in the Old Spaghetti Factory

Jon: So I guess you listen and play a lot of music eh?
Ad: Yeah…I guess so. I probably don’t listen to as many bands as I should. I should expand my horizon and stuff y’know?
J: Hrmm, probably. But there’s only one band that’s good enough for me y’know?
A: Oh yeah??
J: The Radio Band. Cause I listen to the radio.
A: You mean the Radio Frequency Band.
J: Yes, exactly. But I’m not that nerdy to say that… and only us nerds would understand I meant that ;)

The Ponytail Parades (rough)

The second rough keyboard and vocals recording of the night is a cover of one of my favourite songs evar. Its “The Ponytail Parades” by Emery (acoustic piano version from The Question Deluxe Edition). And yes, I *did* use this song for my Silent Film collection of Gogo.

My bastardization in usual Adwin Lam-bastardization mode included:

  • running out of air
  • singing off key
  • playing the wrong notes
  • being boring by playing slower…
  • spacey recording due to horrible mic positioning

With all this said, enjoy! I really look forward to making a MUCH improved version of this. Justice must be done for Emery.

Boston (rough)

Well, here we are. The first keyboard and vocals recording ever. I can’t read sheet music, so I learned this by ear and some chords. A really horrid “first try”, which is why I appropriately named it “rough”; just about everything that can go wrong does:

  • spacey recording due to bad mic positioning
  • running out of air and going off key
  • playing the wrong chords and notes as only a newbie keyboard player would
  • telephone going off (actually, it came in at a GOOD moment and sounded…good?)

A better version is definitely in the works…but this was just something for laughs and cringing. I need some telescopic boom mic stands, as the current set-up is really inflexible for mic positioning capturing the best sounds.

This song is called “Boston” by Augustana. This is my bastardized-Adwin Lam style recording. Enjoy!

By the way, don’t bother with anything else by Augustana…they’re pretty damn emo-pop and whiny.
