about

This is a take on an old blues tune (Skip James) that we knew from Cream. It has an easy-to-play descending riff and every guitarist of my generation seemed to know it. David has a nice laughing manic vocal going on here as he ramps up his gladness: “I’m so fucking glad!” Ed is playing a fuzz rhythm while I doodle on lead. I start up a “Man From Glad” chant while switching from lead guitar to the main rhythm progression. David is ranting on, “I’m so glad, I can’t fuckin’ stand it!” Evan’s voice rises up again with heavy reverb, “I’m the Man From Glad!” This is an obvious reference to Glad sandwich bags. I play my version of the intro to Carl Perkins’ “Honey Don’t” (which I only knew via the Beatles) and then return to the main progression. Dena’s voice chimes in with a deadpan recitation, “He’s glad… they’re glad…” I go back to one more “Honey Don’t” progression to end the whole thing. This originally appeared on the cassette release "Sunday Monday Or Always!" and was credited to the faux-group Religious Services (referencing Evan's ordainment as a minister in the Universal Life Church of Modesto, Inc.).

Walls Of Genius

Fried psychedelia, relentless experimentation, hunter-gatherer improv, space rock doom, heavy rock monumentalism and daffy cover tunes. Walls of Genius rips holes in the fabric of space and time, kicks you in the ass and leaves you smiling. 80s stalwarts of the cassette culture, they're back in the 21st century. The most unique band that ever was. Really! ... more
