- Cody Weathers and the Men Your Mama Warned You About perform "And You Say" live at the Tigard Farmers Market and are unfazed by technical difficulties, as Cody's mic stand collapses mid-song and Cody is forced to fix it one-handed while continuing to play. Jean and Sean cover artfully, and if we didn't draw your attention to it with picture-in-picture editing, you might not even have noticed. WHO IS TO BLAME?! VOTE IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!
WARNING: the tone and wording of the title and introductory teaser paragraph of this video are (fairly obviously) intended as a tongue-in-cheek spoof of annoying clickbait tropes that are thankfully on the downhill side of passe. Some "SHOCKING" events are better classified as somewhat-impressively smooth recoveries by seasoned players to problems they've encountered before in lengthy -albeit dead-end- music careers. Try not to get your knickers in a twist over the lack of abject horror herein. There's plenty of the vapid genuine article elsewhere.
L-R:
Jean Gustin: guitar
Sean Mersereau: bass
Cody Weathers: vocal, drums
An augmented version of this live performance (with additional backing vocals and guitar overdubs) is the basis of the album version of this song on the album "Red Rocket"

And You Say
by Cody Weathers
Remember when I kissed you in a tree and we spent hours in the quiet of the blanket of the wool of night from three to four in the morning molesting each other up against the old upright piano? And you say how I never kissed you in a tree Yesterday, I saw your enemy --your secret sworn enemy. She fluttered her big brown pools of manipulation and tried to make me do some little thing as if I wasn't wise. And you say I'm a fool. All alone over mountains over deserts, safely from the river of your eyes --your beautiful eyes, slow and still that swallow me whole and pull me away. All alone in the frost and mist from a nearby park, I watch a restaurant burn from a merry-go-round where I never kissed you or felt the warmth of your heart --or better still told you all my secrets specifically your fault. I watch it burn and smell the chicken. I can't believe I'm this lonely every day. Don't you have something better to do than make me remember you? And you say you love the merry-go-round. Before you, there were others who ran off to be Nebraskans. Nebraskans these, your enemies who want to steal the treasure --the treasure deep inside your heart, the treasure that is twisting and spinning, hooking, grappling in every space I loved you. And you say how I never kissed you in a tree. I just want to see what you are. I think that you and your aliens should return my cheap belongings, except for you can keep the wine and my journal --I don't know me. And you say, "come inside and lie down, Valentine."

I can relate. I'm a drummer singer who has been through this at least 50 times in my life. I'm not sure why we cannot have a mic stand that can hold our damn mic steady. I finally just forked out $130 for a solid/heavy mic stand. The first time I used it, guess what?? It fell like this one did and I had to fix it while playing with one hand. This kind of thing is normal for singing drummers.
I know! This gig was the *last straw* and I, too, "upgraded" my stand, only to have *it* droop too! As you say, it seems our Sisyphean lot.... Good luck fighting the good fight!
Same singer, same drum kit, same stand and mic... no need to have everything able to swivel... goop what was moving problematically so it can't move again.
I’m done with my mic going all over the place so I’m getting a gooseneck
I hear you --I've considered that myself. But I've yet to find one that's long enough to leave my range of motion unimpeded and keep the base out of the way... I've been having pretty good results with a Hercules boom of late... How were you planning to set it up? Over the top of your head or from the side?
Cody Weathers I was planning over the top because I don’t want it in the way of my hands
@@glass9411 Good luck. If you find a good one you like, swing back and link us an update...
@@CodyWeathers Ok, I will
By the way, if you want to hear a really fun variation of this song, play it at playback speed of 1.5. I LOVE it!
I believe the problem is that the weight of the mic is causing the mic clip to swivel loose on the mic stand. If the mic came over your right shoulder, the swivelling mic clip will actually tighten and therefore not be a problem - isn't that right? (I do know that it is common practice to bring the mic stand in over your left shoulder, but the drooping mic will always be a potential problem.
Perceptive theory, and on a different stand, that could well have been a problem, but it's not what's happening in this case. The clip itself isn't loosening under the counter-clockwise torque of the mic. Rather, the entire boom arm is coming loose and pivoting. The point of failure is the screw brake adjustment up at the boom saddle, which you can see me reaching up to re-tighten at 0:05 and 0:09 and in the subsequent more inconvenient failuire from 2:25 through 2:50. With the failure being tangential to the traversing arc, I don't think in this case it would be aided by having a clockwise torque on the mic by coming over my right shoulder. Furthermore, in my particular setup, there is definitely a small, but real, advantage to having my right hemisphere unobstructed, which is why I ultimately favor a high, steep, left-shoulder entry for the boom. After this gig, I switched to a different stand, and haven't had any problems since, knock on wood!
@@CodyWeathers Cool! Glad the new stand is working out well!
