Let's Make An Album Tonight verse/ Feeling the need For the deed You know the one I mean Where we lay down some tracks Drums are smacked Vocals st-st-stacked Bought a tube pre Off the net For cheap It's gorgeous with the Lines that run deep Copper wire And magic noises chorus/ Bring your guitar and a mic I'll bring that pedal you like Let's make an album tonight I got some extra heaphones So that we can get tones Let's cut an album tonight verse/ So it's time to dust off Your Fender Practice amp 5-watt's of Solid-state tone Guaranteed to make's the ladies moan Now all of the dreams That I had Come to fruition When I see The red lights Glowing bright This is my mission / Hit the ignition Radioshack Microphone Picks up vibrations From the membranes/folds inside my throat (we call it singing) Then electrical charges move cones that push the air into the diaphragms inside our ears producing/perceiving tones chorus Bring your guitar and a mic I'll bring that pedal you like Let's make an album tonight Don't matter if notes ain't right It's all about the vibe Let's cut an album tonight bridge/ Bring your lava lamp I'll burn the incense

verse/ oh, I think back to 10th grade we'd sneak away to smoke a cigar I didn't even like them this was a ritual of our youth way up on the cemetery hill in the middle of the (long) night we'd talk about the future and make predictions about where we'd be in 10 years those are the kinds of things we did before we started doing things like paying bills and working jobs chorus/ but I wish that I'd known when I was young how I'd look back when it was gone and realize things would never be the same again as they were on... grandview memorial garden cemetery way up on that big hill above the city lights out amongst the dead I could see my life so clearly verse/ Believe me I know the truth There's no better place to hide Than the glory of your youth And I don't wanna make an excuse And be self indulgent And abuse the power of memory

verse/ Put it on the wall I hung it up myself A thumb tack and some tape And a little bit of help From the dresser by my bed Cleared off so I could stand High enough to reach The spot next to Pearl Jam chorus/ Ken Griffey Jr.'s on my wall He's gonna bring me good luck when I play ball I've got Ken Griffey Jr.'s rookie card Mint condition without a mark verse/ Saw it on the shelf By Jose Canseco's card I knew that it was mine The decision wasn't hard When I held it my hand I trembled from the power The magic scent of Upper Deck It was my single greatest hour chorus bridge/ Man, I love the smell of an Upper Deck card

about

Shaky Voices is a lo-fi, late night jam session between Pavement and Pinkerton-era Weezer on a cheap, out of tune acoustic guitar that's missing the "A" string. The debut album, "Let's Make an Album Tonight", was recorded in a living room using an empty Dell computer box for a kick drum and a $5 Behringer microphone case for a snare drum. The title track recounts the countless Friday nights in which his first high school bands would cue up the boom box and create an entire album in one all night session. "Ken Griffey Jr.'s Rookie Card" extols the untainted magic of baseball and Upper Deck baseballl cards.
