Lyrics for Cultural Psychopath

[intro]

That way. It's a new day. It's a happy day. Finally in a better place. In a better land.

[chorus 1]

Smoke weed every day that’s what I do.

It's my life and my rights and my mind to throwa way into orbit too.

And who are you to say that is so bad and who are you any fucking how?

And how come its taking so long? You’re a cultural psychopath treating people that way, that way, that way.

[verse 1 - fathe]

That way; What I really wanna say... is that one day, we will fly away;

To a better place, to better land, to a better life, where there is no talking about mean or nice.

Just me and you in paradise, shake it shake it like a dice.

Finally in a better place. In a better land, in a better life.

In a better land, in a better life where there is no talking about mean or nice.

Just my journey in your paradise, don't shake me like a dice. (x 2)

[chorus 2]

[verse 2 - Sir Funkalot]

Mmmmmm. Who ' you to do those things?

Who ' you to do the things that you do? Those things?

But give thanks every day that’s what i do.

I’m not contributing less than you.

I'm not a criminal im just like you.

I'm a person with hopes and dreams of freedom one day that are true.

And I won’t stop till I'm through. But I'm through you... and you... because...

You're a cultural psychopath, treating people that way, that way, that way.

[chorus] x 3

[in a better land] repeats

[mmmm] edit / medley / keyboard solo

[outro - Fathe]

Weed, smoking weed now, I feeling like irie what more can I say?

Show the beat one time, too many now.

None of that fiction museum (Marijuana)

I and I are feeling Irie (Marijuana)

Smoke weed every day..... (and a better life)

 

A/B Sound Comparison of Studio Tube Microphones to Mobile Phone

Posted by tomachi on December 1st, 2015 filed in Videos

**This drum track is being edited for my new tune Cultural Psychopath**
This is an A/B audio comparison of a Samsung S5 mini mobile phone mic and the sound I am getting from my studio setup at Hotel Vermont Studios:

• Two factory matched Rode NTK tube mics (a transformer-less design unfortunately)
• Shure Beta52 on kick
• Shure SM57 on snare, this is also running through a ART Tube Channel with opto-compressor enabled for this session
• Shure SM81 boundary mic under the snare (seems to be a rare prototype of the SM91)
• AKG C3000 mounted on the floor tom/ride cymbal

All this runs into a MOTU 8pre, with a ADAT fibre optic link to a MOTU 2408 mk1 rack.

16 channels in and 4 fully discreet stereo head phone outs on a rack.
For mixing I have a pair of passive Tannoy System600 monitors and a TS10 active sub. Works great! My stinking old 6 years old late 2009 27" iMac somehow copes with all this, likely on account having its RAM put up to 12 GB and an SSD installed. It's nice old beast with a burning hot 3.06 GHZ Core 2 Duo. Logic 9 for the DAW. Recently gave up I think due to clogged fans.

Looking for a system with ADAT light-pipes to resurrect it. Leaning towards RME due to Linux drivers.
