Hi Folks.
This is a short one.  Before coming to BIAB world I utilized MIDI for most of my tunes, so this was a good exercise. Initial arrangement is still done on BIAB including a couple of RTs. All comments are welcomed and thank you for giving this time.

TV Show


Brave and confident radio prophets
A salesman with voice of a squeaky shopping cart
Ohh no I don't need your magic paper crown
I am a voodoo doll with needle sticking out from my heart

You...are a victim of concessions.
Private life on camera tear-milking TV show.

Raging riots, liquid diets,
failed experiments, forest fires.
Silent walls of a closed asylum
New forms of art
No, no, no I don't need your invitation
I am a voodoo doll with needle sticking out from my heart

You...are a victim of obsessions
Private life on camera, inducing laughter TV show.

Now that's my kind of groove, really 80s, really Billy Idol ;-)

Highly enjoyable!

What a cool groove Misha. Super vocal and just loved the drums. Loved how they bounced around the monitors. Really cool production, mix and master. Well done

Funky groove. Great stereo sound from my headphones - especially the drums.

Fun vocals, as always.

Very cool!

Misha,

Now that's one funky vibe you have going on with this one . . . the mix sounds great to me--crisp and vibrant. Love your BGVs on this; perfectly layered in. Cool stuff!

All my best to you,

Deej

Reggae dystopia.
Excellent words, melody & music.
Brief but effective for that.

Yeah - what Ray said! Those drums are outrageously splendid!!!

You are one of the most creative people on this forum. Never a disappointment when i click onto one of your songs. Excellent!

Man, you are one of my favorite lyricist, Misha. I could've quoted the whole song, but the opening lines grab the listeners so well, and the whole story needs to be repeated several times and each one the meaning can be somewhat different. Brilliant. Your vocals are so expressive and the mix is always filled with so many interesting twists and additions. Everything in there begs for replay. Music moguls like that.

Very creative indeed with a slight reggae feel.
Much enjoyable.

Always look forward to your tunes Misha another well done song love it Eric oh the drums are excellent nice spacing

Hi Misha
Very cool mix
Sounds great
Top vocals and also the beginning is very good
Really great work Misha
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Crazy good stereo effects! I don't how you pulled it off, but man you blew my mind. Great job Misha!

Misha

Superb. Very effective backing sounds great.

Vocals are just right and the mix is great.

Wonderful work.

Peter

Misha,

This has a great sound and feel. Very 80s to me and the mix is excellent. Awesome vocal as well.

Bob

You and RKC are the poets of the forum, always delivering great, thought-provoking lyrics. Yeah, this was short but it made its point. Well done.

Misha what a super groove you have going on here.

Outstanding stereo panning!

Super vocal and lyrics.

Great band - outstanding rhythm section - brilliant work!

Loved it.

Misha,

Love this tune! Super use of those synths! Vocals are excellent! I am always impressed with everything you post, and this is a song worthy of many listens!

Thanks, Torrey

Hi Misha

My only quibble is that it is, as you say, a short one. Was enjoying it very much and would have been quite happy for it to keep going. Great groove and mix. While I don't normally like to play favourites, I'm compelled to say you're my favourite lyricist on this forum. Your wordplay is never less than inventive and frequently surprising. Great work.

Regards,
Leon

Ray said it well: “reggae dystopia.”

Your description of reality tv is downright elegant, Misha.

All is super: lyric, band, vocals, mix. It has a really big sound but with sparse instrumentation.
How you do that is remarkable.

And also remarkable is how you can write lyrics for which there is NEVER. A. SINGLE. WEAK. LINE!

Way cool!

J&B

Misha,
I could dance to that... because the lyrics feed the mind as the feet bounce.
Very skilful production and, of course, the Rustyspoon vibe to captivate.
Cool, very cool!

Thank you my musical friends for giving this time and your kind words of support! I am sorry for not replying individually, I rather spent that extra time to listen to your music.

Misha.

Hi Misha,

Very interesting song and lyrics - I enjoyed it and think it's one of your best.

Best Regards
Nigel

Love the groove happening on this one, Misha, very infectious.

Great and unique lyrics as per usual.

Nicely done, enjoyed.

I'm liking your music more and more. You just keep getting better with each new tune.

Late night TV commercials.... who'd have thought to write about it.....?

BUT WAIT!!!!! THERE"S MORE!!!!


Nice solid mix. Your vocals fit perfectly and the island groove works well.

Nicely done!

Scary description of the crazy TV world. Very creative modern reggae feel, excellent instrumentation and nice spacious mix. The minor oriented chording is very enjoyable. Hit material of the 80's (in the footsteps of The Specials).

Janne

Hi Rustyspoon

It's still an excellent lyric composition, voice and instrumentation that you submit. Everything is well done. It's very pleasant and I enjoyed it.

Kindly regard

Thank you for giving this time and your encouraging feedback!

Misha.

Misha,

I've never used this word to describe a song in the forum...

BRILLIANT!!!

Killer Lyric!

Killer Production.

Your Best vocal.

Solid mix.

One of my favorite Showcase posts Ever.

(Once I've caught up - a lot to listen to - I intend to come back and listen to this MANY, MANY times more)

LOVE this.

What Floyd said!

I can't believe this one almost slipped by me. I'm glad I didn't miss it.

I like the way you sing "You" in the chorus.

Another exceptional set of lyrics---The World According to Misha!
