A Working Man's Guide To Comedy
США
Добавлен 3 авг 2023
Greetings Earth! This is A Working Man's Guide to Comedy (AWMGTC for short), a music channel (don't let the name fool you). Why comedy, you ask? It is a mixture of comedy in the ancient Greek context (look it up, it's interesting) and irony since my music covers many spectrums of perception (fancy talk for I sing about a lot of things!).
Who am I? I am a single musician who writes and records my own music. I have only very basic (ok... cheap) recording equipment but believe I can get the most out of it since I have been using this setup for several years now (it's all I know!). Some of my early music was made before I really got a handle on the basics of audio engineering, so I intend on going back and rerecording my older material while continuing to release new songs. This means I can release content on a fairly regular basis since I have many years worth of music that I have never released in any fashion.
I hope you all enjoy what I have to offer.
END OF TRANSMISSION.

Damn my whole comment got deleted! If it shows up twice i apologize haha. I love that the soundscapes match the old Brutalist, harsh vibe associated with communism and often the word "manifesto" itself, but it slowly melts into something more human, melodic and celebratory. Its like getting a soundtrack over view of the inside and outside of a movement. I cant wait to get a breakdown on all the sounds on my show tonight!
This is really cool. It's like the harsh, cold sound of metal very slowly strips down and softens and becomes more musical..... it gives great imagery of the word "Manifesto" in that old, dark brutalist vibe, but then also goes deeper and shows the soft edges and the humanity. Really great piece and I can't wait to get a breakdown on all the sounds!
New year, new awmgtc! Again very backrooms-esque and would fit an indie horror film well. Love the homage to the soviet national anthem!
This was cool
I really like this. Sorta instrumental ambient. A dream within a dream. Great track!
Thank you, Stone!❤
This is wonderful, my friend! You're really getting to the heart of the pyschedelic here, but in a really pleasing way to the ears. You're doing the level of experimentation of Vanilla Fudge, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd and others in their interlude style tracks, but you're bringing a melody and a lofi calm to it that makes it more of a sonic adventure than something you need to stretch your mind for - Amazing work!!!!
Thank you!!!❤
With this one I like the melody and harmonies in your vocals a lot Ian.
Thanks for checking this one out, Hiro!!!
So this is where you get your logo from. I loved the soothing textures a lot. Ian
Thank you!
Yo Ian, this is very experimental and just takes you for a ride all throughout
Thank you for giving this monster a listen!
Yoooo Ian, this is amazing stuff, I like how you go from nice and melodic to hard-core just like that, an awesome combo there.
Thank you! I'm glad you like the transitions!!!!
I like this a lot, with the melody and the way you sing around it was really cool.
Thank you, Hiro! Much appreciated!
This makes me feel the same way. This is a new type of vocal tonality for you
Thank you!
This is like a little sampler of all your different sounds, sometimes isolated and other times all together! I love hearing these soaring, ambitious compositions that still have a ton of groove and feeling to them. Crazy amazing work my friend!
Thank you, my friend!!!!❤❤
We enter the full-blown experimental AWMGTC era?? Sweet. Really enjoyed listening to this. Beautiful ending too.
Thank you! The BRAND NEW ERA... will probably last a few weeks, lol! I have a new batch of songs I'm working on now, so a new songwriting album is on the horizon!
@@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy Great, can't wait to hear them! Have you heard the debut album by Faust btw? This song kind of reminded of the vibe on that album.
@@x-ro-official I have not! I'll have to check it out soon!
I love the ambience building gently into the spacey backrooms-esque guitar leads in the beginning. Then the feedback parts after that heavily remind me of slayer in a way and its crazy how you transition that into a kurt vile style acoustic progression. There is so much going on with this one, transitions wise and genre mashing. All and all a pretty spooky and experimental piece. And this is just part 1? Excellent
Thank you! Yeah, this is another full-length album! I released another track from it called Flowers dream in red, it was a weird backward acoustic guitar piece. Some people said it would sound good in the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack. Glad you liked this piece!
@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy that mightve been me actually!
@@dougjaffray-StMoP- Lol! Instead of "some people," what I meant to say was THE GREAT MUSICIAN StMoP says my stuff sounds like Red Dead Redemption!!!!
@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy lies. There are only 2 types of musicians- those who can make songs that go great with red dead redemption and those who cant.
@@dougjaffray-StMoP- lmfao
Absolutely loving the new drums! Beautiful ending to the album. It kind of reminds me of Epic of Changing Stations, but I like it even better. The 6/8 groove absolutely kills. Big thumbs up!
Thank you ❤! I was more confident in my drumming to do one continuous take that flowed into each part instead of splicing different takes together like did in the Epic. I like the results of this better as well! Maybe I should revisit Epic of Changing Stations and see if I can record something closer to my original intention for it!
This is awesome, melodic and dark. Reminds me of if you took pink floyd and mixed it with nirvana.
Thanks, my friend! ❤
This one is an amazing journey - the jazzy, surfy guitars, the changing rhythms on the drums.... This has it all. I wasn't ready for it to be over when I aired it on the show! This album is absolutely excellent my friend!
Thank you!❤
i'm throughly entertained.
Thank you! I'm thoroughly appreciative!!!❤
"Euphoria slipped & fell & missed a kiss" great lyrics! This was fun. Felt like a concert. Lots of ebb & flow in this while maintaining a consistent tone. & a lot of movement & texture added throughout. It's not easy 2 keep up this kinda vibe 4 over 12 minutes but U succeeded. Like I say, would be a great concert piece. & the visuals playing on a screen on stage. Great combo. Great piece of music!
Thank you! This one took a while to make and there are a LOT of layers! It was quite an effort to keep it going - glad it's appreciated!!!❤
@@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy 🌹
Dear friend ~~ It's a meaningful and wonderful song. I sympathized with the lyrics and enjoyed it. That's great. Thank you. 🙏🌸❤
Thank you so much!❤❤
Dear friend~~ Cool and free music is very good. I'm comforted by listening to comfortable and warm song. Thank you. 👍🙏🎶❤️
Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate your kind words! ❤
Hello friend ~~ I enjoyed wonderful song and fantastic video with beautiful emotions. That's great. Thank you. I subscribe and support you. 🔔👍🙏🎶😍
Thank you!❤ I'm glad you liked the song and video!!! Your support is greatly appreciated!
very nice lyrics - like the strings on there too
Thank you!❤
WONDERFUL 🎶 💕
Thank you! ❤
Excellent lyrics, excellent instrumentation. The whole thing works beautifully, well done!
Thank you! I appreciate that! ❤
Would be interesting to see this go viral.
Some of us (me) are destined for the dark, dusty corners of RUclips! That's ok - it's comfy here, lol! Thanks for listening, I really do appreciate it!❤
david Bowie is back
That's a high compliment, indeed!!! Thank you!!!
Really like how the bittersweet melancholy of the music evolves and expands into a cosmic territory as the lyrics go deeper and deeper into the story. Pretty heartbreaking but there's also a light at the end of the tunnel throughout the whole song. I love emotionally complex songs like this.
Thank you, X-Ro!!! ❤
I like Ur use of space. A lot in there but still space. That's a hard balance 2 find. U do it very well. & I always find it interesting where U put things in the mix. Makes it feel like a band playing live in a room. Kinda reminds me of a Rolling Stones song, production & arrangement wise. Very mellow & melancholy. I really like this.🌹
Thank you, Stone! My initial tendency was to clutter songs with a lot of layers. But, in the last few years, I like cutting parts out here and there to let the songs breathe and have moments of quiet in there! I'm glad you appreciate that quality!
I love the sense of longing that's in the song the whole time - it gives it an extra kind of Blues/Country "drag" that compliments the folksy, bluesy instrumentals. The vocals really shine too - they sound both emotionally exhausted/grief laden AND slightly amused/musing. Like Doug said in his comment, it gives the vibe of talking about a lost loved one and the 360 degrees of emotions that entails. Great work, cant wait to play it on the show tonight!
Thank you!❤ Can't wait for the show to start!
This song feels like a nostalgic memorial to a lost loved one. I cant think of a better way to memorialize someone than through a song. Statues may crumble, but a good song can last generation after generation. The other thing this song makes me think of is a memory care patient slowly slipping away losing themselves, as all they have left is the photographs of the past and their family to tell them how it used to be. How terrifying a thought to have to be reminded of whats supposed to be nostalgic to you, only to forget it all over again.
Thank you, Doug! Those are great interpretations! ❤
Amazing. One of my all time favorite AWMGTC songs for sure.
Thank you, X-Ro! ❤
Revisiting this album after months. It's a fantastic listening experience. Loving the vibe and the beautiful melodies and arrangements. I think it's my favorite album of yours sound-wise. And what a great song this is.
Thank you!❤
Nice minimalist acoustic track, lyrics ( & sentiment), i like the simplicity of your arrangement here too and how well it meshes with the vintage / nature footage.
Thank you!❤
Hey, I know this one!!! I think every artist needs to hear this at least once a week. So refreshing, it's a cure for burnout!
Heck yeah! I wrote a dedication to all artists who are brave and put their work out there on my Instagram! This one's dedicated to all of us!❤
Beautiful 💙💙
Thank you, X-Ro!❤
Great tune!
Thank you for taking the time to give it a listen! It is much appreciated! ❤
Really nice. A floating dream on a summer day beneath a sky filled with visions of time. Great song.🌹
Thank you, Stone! ❤
This is awesome and so different than your usual stuff. Its like you took one of your acoustic tracks and added lyrics. The vocal melody is different than what im used to from you. All and all this is a fantastic track, you already know i love folk music, and as far as folk music goes this is really good and the message is positive, accept yourself for who you are and youll find happiness.
Also its funny how you posted this track the same day jesse welles posted a new folk track on the same topic. Two awesome self acceptance songs in one day 😁
Thank you, brother in songs!❤
Oh nice! I like Jesse Welles quite a bit! I'll have to check that out later!
I really dig the bounce and the paradox between the lyrics and the parts with triumphant chords. Very cool sound. I specially dig the guitar in the left channel and how it bounces and glides
Thank you, X-Ro!!!❤
Yooooo Ian, this is nice and showcases your melodic vocal technique. Chorus got me swaying back & forth.
Heck yeah!!! Thank you!!!❤
Yoooo, Ian this slaps, and it reminds me of those early punk songs along with this song called "I love Candy" with the call and response using the guitar riff.
I know that song! Yeah, they both use the "Bo Diddley" beat! You can hear all through Bo Diddley's music as well as some early rock songs like "Not Fade Away" by Buddy Holly. It's a cool beat that I don't think gets used enough anymore!
Yo yo yo Ian that had no business being that hard! It's one of my new favorites, yo. Straight bopper.
Thank you, Hiro!!!! Glad you like this one!!!😁
A melting pot of psychedelic 60's, classic 70's rock, punk and 90's 'alternative!' Darn, one of them guitars is reminiscent of Brian May's playing! Great stuff again.
Thank you! I've always respected Brian May's guitar playing!❤
“Just blundering past the sign beware”, niiice. Cool space opera, collage rock material, man. Again love the really early (London Boyish) Bowie / Floyd vibes with this.
Thank you!❤
Love these videos you produce! Great song, awesome performances. Will have a listen of the album!
Thank you! I really appreciate that!❤
The lyrics really captured my attention in this one. To me its about propaganda and advertisements which is essentially just corporate propaganda all around us and how it seems near impossible to break through it all and find the truth especially when most people just listen to whatever propaganda is most convenient for them to believe. Great song all around and interesting vocal delivery as well!
Hell yeah! Those themes are definitely in there! There are some bits about being overstimulated in the post-Silicon Valley horror show that we live in as well!
