MY HOMEBOY
  What I did tonight
1:01 am
    ---

    Kris: Hey, that sounds like it could be a loop. Imagine Vanilla Ice going "My homeboy! My homeboy!" throughout an entire song.

    Andrew: Jesus. It would be like Water Torture. Hey, there's this hip hop thing in the background. It loops.

    K: Oh no, don't do it.

    A: I'm gonna do it.

    K: Argh! Hey, let me put down a bass riff.

    A: Okay. Go.

    K: (Da dum dah dah dum dee)
    Get it?

    A: Got it. (Paste)
    Hey, that loop we got earlier is 100 BPM, too.

    K: Argh! Don't use that!

    A: (paste) Too late. Hmm. this needs a really bad riff.

    (many pastings later)

    Brian (pretty drunk): Hey Andrew, can you uh, repeat that part and set up a synth so I can try stuff?

    A: What??

    (Last two messages repeat 9 - 10 times)

    B: I mean.. just make it loop.

    A: Oh. Here you go.

    (Brian drunkenly splatters notes everywhere)
    (General mirth. It sounds like a couple of rabbits on a keyboard)
    (40 minutes later)

    B: Ah fuck you guys! Andrew, I bet you can't make something good out of it.

    A: I bet I can't. I could just quantize it to death, I guess. And maybe copy it over.

    A: I'm going to post this on the web in RealAudio format.

    K: umm.

    B: ummm. Not on our web page?

    A: Nah. Just somewhere.

    (Much later, as everyone is leaving)

    Kris: Great. Now I have that stupid "my homeboy" song stuck in my head.

  Doin' it for 'nilla
    [A Bad Idea]
    Nilla's Homeboy
                              GOTO TOP
