I was playing around with my Micron the other night and decided to quickly recreate one of my old Apache Almonde songs.

Apache Almonde (Ah-pah-shay Ah-lah-mon-day) was a joke band that was kind of like Depeche Mode plus The Smiths. It was me and Randall Meehl. We only played one show, a house party. I was going to make a new set for the Catch That Beat festival, but then I couldn't play the festival because I had to be in Vancouver. Apache Almonde fans worldwide were crushed.

    Apache Almonde is my new 63rd-Favorite Band!! (welcome to #64, Haircut 100)

    Will you be posting lyrics and a chord sheet for those who wish to do covers?

    I was just about to ask that.

    "You say you've been to Portsmouth / And swam the English Sea / I met you on a lorry / But that didn't bother me / But we'll have to learn to make amends / Before we have our tea"

    Actually only the first two lines of that are from the original version. I forgot all the other lyrics so I just made up some new ones on the spot. You just have to mention stereotypical "British" things. As far as the "chords," it's just B notes an octave apart, the faster notes being B flats.

    Awesome! Thanks, Dalas. This will give me an incentive to learn the GarageBand app that came with mah MacBook.

    If you don't mind, I'd like to form an Apache Almonde cover band: PWNee Pistachio (Paw-NAY PEE-stah-SHEE-oh).

    Sure, sounds funny. It would be funniest if your "cover" songs are just new songs you make up in the style of Apache Almonde.
  • FuzzyDave 2 years ago
    Oh yes. yes! You have twisted brains, my friend. I shall do exactly that.
