This is the second collection of 2HTS tracks put together, it focuses on songs with offensive lyrics, often VERY offensive.

Liner Notes (by Necro):

CandyJar (NSFW)

This week’s theme was ‘Candy’. Guitars, bass, drums, vocals. This was my first 2HTS where the lyrics were heavily inspired by the puerile NecroSadist of yesteryear and the third entry I’d ever made.

Brownfish (NSFW)

The theme was “Starfish”, i went with the Urban Dictionary definition. Guitar, bass, organ, Rhodes, Drummer and vocals. I really like the bass in this one. It took forever to get the guitar solo down and i’m still not happy with how it turned out. I needed another 20 minutes at least.

Morning Would (NSFW)

The theme was “Mornings”. Guitars, bass, drums, vocals, organ. This song actually had a small following (hence the multiple remixes). If I could remember how to play it I would probably add it to live sets.

Afterglow (NSFW)

The theme was “The Aftermath” so I decided to write a song about a particularly messy afternoon of sex. Guitar, bass, Drummer and vocals. Hella catchy.

Forbidden Love (NSFW)

The theme was “Forbidden Love” and I decided to take it into even more forbidden territory. Pachelbel is rolling in his grave. Guitars, bass, drums, vocals and organ.

Ten Inch Worm (NSFW)

This theme was “Worms” so I played on concepts from the original Inchworm by Frank Loesser and made it my own. Organ, congas, Drummer, bass, guitar and vocals. This was the first track using an amplifier (Vox 30CCH mic-ed with a Shure sm57) Good bass line.

Kick Ass Escalade (NSFW)

The theme was “Kick Ass” and that morning I had had trouble parking at the laundromat because some asshole in an Escalade had managed to take up two spots for their ridiculous car. Guitars, bass, drums, vocals, synths and misanthropy. May include this in live sets.

Sexual Skeleton (NSFW)

This was my second Halloween theme, so I chose “The Skeleton” and did my thing. Harpsichord, guitar, drums, bass and vocals. A holiday favorite!

The Worst Drop (NSFW)

In EDM music a ‘drop’ is a change where the bass comes in and usually the tempo increases and there’s more kick drum and ravers start waving their glow-sticks around. This week’s theme was “The Worst Drop” as a dig at pokey oats who never includes drops in his tracks. I wrote a song about dropping deuces in bad places. Piano, guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Decent song but the mix is pretty bad.

Shocker (NSFW)

The theme was “Pink” (Thanks Johnny!) so I decided to go with ‘two in the pink, one in the stink’ AKA ’The Shocker’. Belongs on my Greatest Hits. Guitar, bass, vocals, organ and Logic’s Drummer. I started using Drummer more and more when I realized it was helping me write different styles of song. Previously I’d been using it only for scratch track but my handful of beats I can play on the kit were limiting my songwriting.

Ass Ass In (NSFW)

The theme was “Assassin” but that word has “ass” in it twice and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to write a song with the refrain “ass ass in, ass ass out”. Guitar, bass, drums, vocals and synths.

Broken (NSFW)

The theme for this one was either “Broken” or “Fractured”. One of my favorites, hands down. I get it stuck in my head from time to time. Synth, guitar, drums, bass, congas, melodica and vocals. At the time I thought it was a train wreck, which is why I started adding instruments form what i had in my apartment. Happy accident.

Surfin’ the Web (NSFW)

The theme was “Surfing” and I did my damnedest to make this sound like a legit 60s surf song. I eq-ed the track and used a Vinyl plugin to give it the feel of a 45. Guitars, bass, drums, vocals and organ. Frankly, I feel like I pulled it off.

Brown Carrots (NSFW)

“Death of a Carrot” was the theme. I told you Antik has some weird ones. Piano, guitar, bass, drums and vocals. I kind of like this despite its flaws. You can tell I’m still learning how to use the JJP Vocals plugin. Not perfectly mixed by any means but there’s a nice guitar solo in here and some decent piano work.

Suck poppet (NSFW)

The theme for this one something like “The Adventures of a Lost Sock”. Antik sometimes has weird themes. Piano, guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Probably my favorite guitar work hands-down. Despite being over four minutes long I was given a pass because it proved to be pretty popular with the group. I kind of went nuts with the bass because DK had been bitching about that style of playing before the compo started. The piano piece was a bitch to work out but I still listen to this one from time to time, I kind of like it.

Golden Showers (NSFW)

The theme was “Gold” so I went where everyone expected me to. Rhodes, guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Kind of catchy. Lyrical quality notwithstanding this is where the production technique is really at 11 in comparison to earlier efforts. Decent guitar solo.

Forbidden Fruit of the Looms (NSFW)

My favorite song? Possibly. The theme was “Forbidden Fruit” and I really like what I did here even though I just repeat the lyrics. Maybe it’s because of how much I like the synth lick and chord progression. Guitar, bass, synth, drums and vocals. I also like my guitar solos in this one even if they’re flawed.
