The Talkin’ Headline Blues #72

Audio 1 Comment

Here’s the 72nd installment in the Talkin’ Headline Blues marathon. Just to clarify, if you’re confused. I do NOT rewrite any (or hardly any) of these headlines. They come straight from cnn.com. I think some people, maybe, don’t believe that. It’s only hard to tell because cnn changes their headlines so often that if you try and compare what I’ve copied down to those currently on the site you’ll think I rewrote the lines to rhyme and match up better.

But no!

There’s so much highly important news out there that the headlines must change with the news. They must!

Anyway….

I recorded this one before I finished the rough takes of a couple songs that I’m going to put on a new Poor Elvis 7-inch vinyl that’ll be released in June.

Also, remember that there’s a show this Friday (3/23) at Uncommon Ground on Clark. Show starts at 10pm. Check out the facebook invite to RSVP and for more info. See ya there.

I think this may just be one of my favorite all time Talkin’ Headlines. The headlines are all pretty hilarious the way they stacked up, plus I played electric guitar on this and made it all the way through. Can you hear me getting extra nervous when I play those fills in between the verses? I did not practice those or even think about doing them before I pushed Record. They are a completely intuitive and natural event. I wonder if you enjoy them as much as me?

Anyway, that’s that for today. I know I haven’t posted a new song in a while, but I’ll get back to that soon enough. As for the re-recordings…well, I do still plan to do all of those from last year, so eventually I’ll start back up on that too.

In the meantime, keep coming back for Talkin’ Headlines.
