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.

Yess. You have a strong voice and fretskills amigo. Great tune!
Hey! Thanks, friend - that's much appreciated!❤
Hell yeah, this is one of my favorites from you, im so glad we got a live version!
Thank you! Maybe next time I won't wait so long to release it, lol.
Damn I'm late as hell commenting! I love this song. It's unsettling and completely calming at the same time. This is the type of sound I wish was in my head when I was walking around town!
I'll have it on Bandcamp for free at some point so you can have the music any time and any place!
Title really works 4 this. Feels like a single thread through a tapestry of unknowns. A road through darkness. Great track!
Thank you, Stone!!!.❤
Loved every minute.. it was over too soon. Great work!
Thank you! I'm happy that you like this one!!!
what happened to my comment? oh well... here it is again RIghteous, (i vaguely remember calling you batman here but forgot what I said...) This one goes to my favorites.
Ahhh the original comment doesn't show up in my end, it must have been lost to the ages (maybe buried in Moria or something)! Thanks, Dave! I'm glad you like it!!!
@@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy hey im back again...hehehe
This is awesome, it sounds like the opening song to some kind of dark and gritty comic book movie. I love the tremolo guitar with its swooping melodies, it goes so well with the main guitar part.
Thank you, Doug! This is the opening of a comic book movie! COMEDY MAN: THE MAN WHO CAN'T READ A ROOM! It's semi-autobiographical, lol!
Great show!
Thank you, Stone! I know I've missed a bunch of your new songs this last week - I've not been feeling well and haven't been online as much. I've got some catching up to do!
@@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy U R welcome. & that's okay. I release a lotta stuff. No 1 could get around 2 it all. I appreciate it when U can. 🌹
This makes me... feel things...
Whoops! Missed this comment, Billy! Thanks for the... feeling. The... feeling is mutual, lol!
Ground crew to enterprise, come in enterprise. This planet seems to be covered in living machinery, and they seem to be communicating in a beautiful song of humming harmony and its so.. its so... intoxicating... This one rocks! 😁
Spock here, Captain! Your description of the audio phenomenon is much appreciated!
Absolutely loving the guitar playing and all the extended solo parts. It's amazing how you work those frets like that AND sing at the same time! The covers are beautiful. Rock on my friend!
Thank you!
Killer performance of I'm Assuming an Alias 🔥🔥 It's great hearing it in this format. Bartholomew's Fair is a banger as well!
Thanks, X-Ro!!! That's very appreciated!!!❤❤
Thanks for the shout-out ! It's great hearing this set again, very glad you found your way to publish it (seasons be dammed:). We just needing Doug’s to complete the Malloween circle thing now I think.
I didn't realize he hadn't published his! Oops! Maybe if people go and check his channel they'll find awesome music (minus one Malloween performance) and want to subscribe for that instead!
@@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy Just being a completist I think, I enjoyed his a lot too (#releasethestmopmalloweencut lol).
@ lol!
Sounds great! Workin those frets : D
Thank you! I was a bit nervous putting this out! Glad that some people are enjoying it!❤❤
Me fascinó tu talento. Felicidades. Saludos desde La Paz Bolivia.
Muchas gracias!!!❤
Yooo I'm so happy this is out!!! I actually really enjoy the sound quality. It sounds like an old club bootleg!!! I have a feeling this video is gonna give us all a nostalgia trip on the show tonight! For real though, the whole package visually, sound quality, performance - It all captured a vibe. I dare say I'd even leave my house to see a show like this!!!!
Also, this is one of or /the/ only videos we have of a multi album spanning set list if I'm not mistaken which is REALLY cool after following the albums from the start!!!! I'm second hand excited for anyone who has followed all the albums and hears this for the first time!!!
Thank you! I like bootleg audio quality too BUT you know the crispy drums crowd... I'M JUST LOOKING OUT FOR THEM. HEAR THAT, REDDIT????? (this is what is known as an "in-joke" for any reading the comments. hahaha)
@@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy Hiding around the corner with their buckets of extra crispy drumsticks, waiting to cut down an artist excited about their new release.....
@@malldadentertainment I see an angry Col. Sanders with a bucket of drumsticks bitterly awaiting the rock band on stage to get finished with their set so he can pelt then with chicken. My god... REDDIT IS THE KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN OF THE INTERNET.
I love the secondary titles you put to all of these lmfao
I figure that if I'm going to be a clumsy ass on camera, I should just roll with it! 😆
I’ll second that, those cracked me up too, great choice leaning into it.
@@JAMIFICATION01 Might as well put SOME comedy into it since it's in my name, lol.
This is one of my favorite tracks by you. Really out there and masterfully done. Great stuff!
Thank you, X-Ro!
Yooo Ian, this is beautiful. It sounds like a machine war film.
THE MACHINE WARS ARE HERE, lol!!!!! Thanks, Hiro - glad you like it!❤
Another great track. Moody. Industrial. Ambient. Metallic but melodic. Rumbling beneath the dust & light. Form looking 4 release & new shape. Really like this one! & also the footage from Vampyr. Dreyer was a fantastic director.
Thank you! Dreyer is my favorite director! I'm glad someone else appreciates him! Vampyr is an amazing film!
wonderful collage of sounds and footage.
Thank you!❤
Sweet track. Pretty wild it's all guitar. : >
Thank you! Yeah- guitar processed through effects and then slowed down or sped up can produce some WILD sounds, lol!
This one tapers from harsh to soft so seamlessly - the transition using the kind of fan sounding white noise was genius - it fit the harsh guitar tones while still setting the stage for the gentle melodies to come in. Excellent piece and video! Can't wait to air it on the show tonight!
Also, the art and sound from like 615-620 gives me big The Wall vibes
Thank you! ❤ And, as an interesting aside, The fan noises are a guitar passed through a ring modulater and then slowed down! Every sound on this album is made by a guitar!
So ya, thought ya, might like to... go to the show?
The visuals work really well with this. Captures the sorta dissociated feeling I get when listening 2 the track. I never find music like this dark or strange I find it comforting. It's real. It's the sound of the real world around in all it's chaos & noise & the finding of the sorta harmony & beauty in it. Great track & video!
Thank you! I agree about noise music - when I hear dark ambient music or anything eerie - it sounds like something from nature to me! Like the emissions from neutron stars or the residual energy from the Big Bang. Thanks for listening, Stone! Your music and your insights are always appreciated!❤
@@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy U R welcome. & ditto.🌹
This legit scared me at first, then surprised me. The finale with the Soviet anthem is fantastic. The whole experience has a disorienting and almost surreal aftertaste. Fantastic stuff.
Thank you, X-Ro! Glad you like it, my friend!!!❤
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!
The other comment is still there, just under another video, lol! Thanks for the thoughtful analysis - I can't wait to hear it on the show!❤
@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy LOL just found it. That's the kind of mistake only MallDad could make 😜
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!
Glad I can read the original and redux versions of the same comment! Really - I think every track on this album kind of does the same thing in general but in different ways - combines melody with brutal, harsh landscapes of sound to push what can be defined as "music." So this comment works here - and it should stay!!!!!
@AWorkingMansGuideToComedy omg! That's what happened. I tried to comment on part 3 and I didn't finish before it automatically went back to part 2! The mystery of the lost comment!
New year, new awmgtc! Again very backrooms-esque and would fit an indie horror film well. Love the homage to the soviet national anthem!
Thanks, tovarisch! The Soviet/Russian Federation anthem is my favorite - such a cool melody!
This was cool
Thank you! I appreciate you listening!!!❤
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! ❤
