History: The Periodic Table of Elements and Creepy
Happy Spring!
The Periodic Table of Elements from Miss Steak is our top selling song on I-Tunes?
This song was originally recorded on a 4 track recorder in 1998, in Canal Fulton, Ohio, on a spring afternoon in the back of Brad Palmer's parents porch. If I remember right, our friend Daryl Largent had the assignment of holding cowbells because we did not have a cowbell holder at the time.
It's funny, I never would have thought this song would have got past the local school science room (what the song was originally intended for). I wrote the song as an homage to my Dad, a chemist/scientist/future professor...
Another song that is getting I-Tunes downloads is a song called "A Lesson in Creepy Circus Music 101", which initially did not have a title and was part of a 20 minute song written in 1997. I don't actually remember recording much of the instrumentation, just that it involved physically speeding up and slowing down of the tape to get the weird sound. The horns were improvisational, and just happened to turn out patriotic, as did the random laughing in the middle of the song, it all flowed together perfectly...
