Groan / Grown Zone

Overview

Groan / Grown Zone --- 2007

Liner notes: 1-2 A hardcore song to sort of re-live high school and hanging out at Gilman St. The whole process took approx 20 min. Straight into 4track computer. 1-5 We listened to [m=48681] and "[url=https://www.discogs.com/master/48728-The-Smashing-Pumpkins-Tonight-Tonight]Tonight Tonight[/url]" for direct inspiration for the recording of this song. 1-10 A song inspired by [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/160906-Steely-Dan]Steely Dan[/url] and [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/37223-The-Doobie-Brothers]Doobie Brothers[/url]. 1-13 This song is about [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/1481074-Stephen-King-6]Stephen King[/url]'s "[url=https://www.discogs.com/release/11958940-Stephen-King-The-Dark-Tower-The-Gunslinger-]Dark Tower[/url]" series. 1-18 This was the Navins' hit single freshman year at LC in the Platform circa 1996. 2-2 Using their own samples from previous SRR Zone comps. 2-4 This song is a thank you and dedication to both the [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/240652-Wilson-Phillips]Wilson Phillips[/url] girls and [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/86726-Al-Jourgensen]Al Jorgenson[/url] of [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/12209-Ministry]Ministry[/url]. 2-7 Heavily influenced by the straightforwardness of positive hardcore (i.e. [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/253271-7-Seconds]7 Seconds[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/252202-Minor-Threat]Minor Threat[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/281810-Insted]Insted[/url]), and the comparatively motivational vibe of children's music ([url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/1742873-Shari-Lewis]Shari Lewis[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/142433-Sesame-Street]Sesame Street[/url], Sunday School music). X[url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/2190115-Ernies-Rubber-Duckie]RubberDucky[/url]X!!! 2-9 This is a new (2007) recording of an old (1995) song. 2-12 First song ever for this comp. Tried to tackle the combination of [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/72872-Rick-Astley]Rick Astley[/url], maybe Mu, and strangely enough this comp's second song inspired by the Vengaboys. 2-13 This songs represents the transition between [Nat Baldwin's] interest in "experimental" music, and [his] current interest in more traditionally structured "pop" songs. It's also about basketball. Before that [he]'d mostly only dealt with noise related music. 2-14 This song was specfically inspired by [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/92051-Chuck-Mangione]Chuck Mangione[/url]'s "[m=62389]". I also have to thank Adam Forkner and the [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/1106118-Golden-Boots]Golden Boots[/url], for helping this song come together in its earliest stages. 2-16 Singing in a new language removes the lyrical context and abstracts my vocal. 2-18 After jokingly singing one of our songs in teh style of [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/326906-Conor-Oberst]Conor Oberst[/url], we realized that all of our songs could easily be turned into songs of this style. This forced us to come to terms with our [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/83606-Bright-Eyes]Bright Eyes[/url] influence. Other notes: This is the third Zone compilation. Track 1-7 inspired by [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/50183-Ween]Ween[/url]. Track 2-10 inspired by [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/251594-Primus]Primus[/url]. Tracks 1-11 and 2-19 feature samples from the movie [url=https://www.discogs.com/master/77439-Various-Top-Gun-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack]Top Gun[/url]. 4-panel, 2-pocket stumptown cover, with an 11" x 17" poster/insert.
