It’s Monday!! It’s also the three year anniversary of the release of the Mastodon-famous #Dgar song “It’s Always Monday On The Moon”
Written for future moon workers spending long hours doing dangerous work in a lethal environment, my song is about how quickly the enthusiasm for a job like this may disappear quickly due to the isolation and monotonous routine.
#Dgar Now listening to:
Justified & Ancient

“If you want to do something, go and do it! Don't wait to be asked, don't wait for a record company to come and want to sign you or a management company. Just go and do it”
~ Bill Drummond
I got clouds in my head and I’m feeling kinda dizzy.
My eyes kinda hurt and my hair is all frizzy.
This jacket smells bad and I stepped in something squishy.
I’m feeling kinda hungry, so I gotta get busy.
Walking to the beat and everything is gritty.
Boarded up houses but the gardens look pretty.
Get with the crew and we start to get giddy.
We’re drawn down the street by the promise of the city.
I may fall today,
But I don’t need no confession.
It doesn’t hurt to pray,
But I’ve still got my depression.
Searching for some brains,
It’s kinda my obsession.
I think it’s safe to say,
All zombies go to heaven.
You can see the meat hanging out to dry.
They think they’re safe and believe that lie.
But behind their walls they start to cry.
They see us coming and we won’t die.
We are the hoard and we grow every day.
Trying to make it in a world decayed.
We can’t talk. Got nothing to say,
Paying the price that we all have to pay.
I may fall today,
But I don’t need no confession.
It doesn’t hurt to pray,
But I’ve still got my depression.
Searching for some brains,
It’s kinda my obsession.
I think it’s safe to say,
All zombies go to heaven.
All zombies go to heaven.
I may fall today,
But I don’t need no confession.
It doesn’t hurt to pray,
But I’ve still got my depression.
Searching for some brains,
It’s kinda my obsession.
I think it’s safe to say,
All zombies go to heaven.
All zombies go to heaven.
All zombies,
Go to heaven.
Here’s a handy #Dgarheads guide to help you choose your special track!
Looking for a good pub rock song with rip-your-face-off guitars and sing-along chorus? Try the heavy-rock sounds of “Proud Woman”. https://songwhip.com/dgar/proud-woman
Maybe you’re in the mood for a good soppy love song? I’ve got you covered… in pure sop. Just me and a clean Fender Stratocaster with “Cilla” https://soundcloud.com/dgarmusic/cilla
Rebellious grunge? There’s “Flat World” which has nothing to do with Flat Earth, in case anyone was thinking that. https://songwhip.com/dgar/flat-world
Alright, I’m running out of songs here… surely I can find something for you… umm. The space-rock song that fails to answer that age old question of ‘what she said’ - “Airlock” https://songwhip.com/dgar/airlock2024
Well, there is one more. If you like punk rock songs about zombies, that is, but you’ll need to wait for Fedivision 2024 to start before you can listen to “All Zombies Go To Heaven”.

#Dgar mutters under their breath about how useless corporate advertising is… ugh, they didn’t even mention anything about the Zombie song I wrote for #Fedivision… or that #Dgarheads can vote DIZZ when voting opens on Sunday to support the #DgarMusic entry!
Useless I say, utterly useless!!
It’s so easy to get wrapped up in tempo and pitch when performing a piece, especially when it’s an original song that you’re still trying to work out parts of the melody. But even if you manage to land all your lyrics on the beat and hit the right notes, I find that a recording can still sound lifeless or weak.
I try to address this by “acting”, by being the character that would be telling the story or singing that song, by channeling their emotions into the performance.
I heard a cover band once play Enter Sandman by Metallica. They nailed it, note for note, but even though the vocalist was in time and in key, they didn’t sound the slightest bit angry. This made the performance feel… somewhat unsatisfactory. I feel it needs to be sung with red hot fury and blind hatred in the words. Their performance has stuck with me, and it’s resulted in me making a conscious effort to embody some kind of character for each song.
