I&#8217;ll talk about the song itself then, and how and why I think it answers SJ Tucker&#8217;s rallying call. But I wanted to throw out some thanks and acknowledgements here today.<\/p>\n<p>First, thanks to Kathryn Tewson for the guest vocals. She hasn&#8217;t worked close-mic before, or much really with this kind of music but <Em>I<\/eM> think she sounds good, and she said she thinks she&#8217;s &#8220;never sounded that cool ever in my whole life&#8221; and that&#8217;s good enough for me.<\/p>\n<p>Second, thanks to Alexander James Adams, for both chorus vocals and surprise fiddle! He surprised me with a recording when I was only asking for vox, and that fiddle track is all over the song now. That post I made a couple of days ago, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/29\/this-seems-unlikely-and-yet\/\">This seems unlikely<\/a>,&#8221; with a picture of my Surprise Fiddle Part? The line <em>above<\/em> mine is labelled &#8220;AJA fiddle,&#8221; and that would be Alec. Lots goin&#8217; on there.<\/p>\n<p>Third, thanks to Klopfenpop, for listening to roughmixes and being the only person who caught me being out of tune in one of the harmonies for a bit under 40ms underneath hard consonants which were keeping my attention distracted. Goddamn, Klop, you have good ears.<\/p>\n<p>And fourth, Anna, for joining that big thick chorus we have for this thing. This song needed a big group, and she helped it get there.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow. Or tonight, midnight Pacific time, if you want to stay up. Watch Bandcamp, &#8217;cause the blog post will be later in the morning. But Bandcamp &#8211; that&#8217;ll be midnight. We&#8217;ve got a torch, and we&#8217;re gonna light it up.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/solarbird.net\/Livejournal\/2016-08\/were-not-friends-2-500.jpg\"><br \/><i>Midnight, on <a href=\"http:\/\/music.crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/i><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s the day the new song comes out.
