I AM A GRUMPY OLD LADY.
Sometimes feel that I torture you all by making weird videos. I hope this is not too painful for you all.
Inspired by the posts about being grumpy (my fault for starting that...actually, Nick Lowe's fault), I thought I would record an original on that.
Grumpy Old Joo recorded 3 tracks, all first takes.
1. My baritone started buzzing big time, so I used it with all the buzzing.
2 and 3. Then I sang random lines over, twice. All first takes. Thinking about being grumpy...about me being grumpy.
When I sang the second time I suddenly thought of the grumpy, suffering protagonist in Samuel Beckett's Three Novels.
Those lines "it is raining, it is not raining," and "I can't go on. I will go on," are from the novels.
There were much noise happening when I was recording - airplane noise, people talking, birds, fan noise, Teochew opera, telephone ringing. I used them as part of the video. Hopefully that worked for you too.
I think this mess should fall under the " Growing Old Disgracefully" category.
(as if these are not enough info, you can read more in my YT description).
If the audio is too painful, I hope my animation with my paintings is interesting to look at.
Thanks for hosting, Steve. The pain shall stop here. After the High I got from mucking around, I might attempt a Lowe later this week, if I feel inspired.
