This blog is devoted to the band The Really Good Pot Roast.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
See You Next Tuesday (NSFW)
by
The Tumblorchestra, Featuring The Really Good Pot Roast, Texnessa, Dr Cranquis, and TLOTH.
The challenge began with an innocuous suggestion by helms-deep that we could start a band here on Tumblr. We saw that as a gauntlet thrown. So we called, and a few brave tumblrs answered.
Texnessa and her favorite word were the first to arrive, and completely dictated the song direction of the song. Dr. Cranquis sent along his sections, and they fit perfectly in our odd little minds. TLoTH brought it home with some harmonies.
We got your submissions and we wrote and recorded piecemeal over the last week or so.
And now we present to you, “See You Next Tuesday”, the NSFW Tumblorchestra first single.
- Texnessa: Vocals, Cowbell
- Cranquis: Vocals, Clapping / shaker, Kazoo solo
- TLOTH: Vocals
- RGPR: Backing music, Vocals, Additional lyrics
Lyrics:
“See You Next Tuesday”
The way you move
It draws me in
For you I’d find my faith just so that I could sin
Don’t know your name
But that’s okay
Everything I need is all in how you say
Texnessa / TLOTH / Dr. Cranquis
Yes indeed
Got you in mind
As I’m praying on my knees for a sign
I hear your voice
Calling out to me
Point me in the right direction and suddenly I see (your)
Texnessa / TLOTH / Dr. Cranquis
Somewhere among
the truth and lies
Lives your crusade against love’s compromise
Give you what you want
Tell me what you need
I’ll see you next Tuesday, and every day between (in your)
Texnessa / TLOTH / Dr. Cranquis
Tumblorchestra: It’s coming…
We’re on the tail end of the disaster we call a Writing/Recording/Mixing process.
Tumblorchestra… it’s coming.
See you next Tuesday… or sooner.

Tumblorchestra, Assemble…?
Mmmkay. So far, we’ve received snippets from Texnessa and Dr. Cranquis. Both sets of submissions are awesome, and we’re dying to work with them. We could build songs around either, but there’s a common thread between them.
Helms-deep?
PalmtreePalmtree?
TLOTH?
Anybody?
Record or send the following:
- 5 words: Any 5.
- Hand Claps: Clap 4 times. We’ll take care of the rest. Try and clap at 120bpm. If you don’t know what I just said, just clap slowly and we’ll cut and paste until you sound like a boss.
- Expletives! Record your self shouting “Fuck you”, “shitsnacks”, “Whorefist”, or the expletive of your choice (you could combine #1 & #3)
- Some instrument: Anything you want. Atonal humming, cowbell, guitar, flute, violin, yelling. We’ll cut and edit to fit. Try to keep at 120bpm, or at least a consistent tempo that we can timeshift, if needed.
- Lyrics: You write it, we’ll sing it. Think Anchorman. (I’m Ron Burgundy?)
If you need recording software, Audacity is a great, free, recording application.
If you want to do an instrument solo, let us know, and we’ll work on music and send you a section to record your part to, as well as key and tempo.
If we don’t get anything else, we’ll run with what we have, and will start writing/recording this week.
Something will come of this, somehow.

Hey! I just remembered something:

If I recall, there was a call out there for a Tumblr band camp experience. We can Captain Planet this thing with your powers combined. We volunteered to help put the music together. Time to call people out.
Texnessa: Cowbell?
PalmtreePalmtree: Claps?
Cranquis: ????
Helms-Deep: Tuba/Bass/Marimba/Oboe something something?
If you’re still interested in The great “Tumblr Goes to Band Camp” extravaganza, grab your microphones and record a few things for us:
- 5 words: Any 5. Be creative.
- Hand Claps: Clap 4 times. We’ll take care of the rest. Try and clap at 120bpm. If you don’t know what I just said, just clap slowly and we’ll cut and paste until you sound like a boss.
- Fuck You! Record your self shouting “Fuck you”, if you’d like. Or the expletive of your choice (you could combine #1 & #3)
- Some instrument: Anything you want. Atonal humming, cowbell, guitar, flute, violin, yelling. We’ll cut and edit to fit. Try to keep at 120bpm.
- Lyrics: We’ll sing it if you write it.
Record these as separate audio clips. MP3 or WAV is preferable. Put them up on dropbox or some file share, or Ask Hole us if you want to email it. The band will take care of the rest! Tell your friends!
