about

Salt My Tambourine aka Rotten Leg: What started out as an acoustic love ode from Drummer Aaron to vocalist/percussionist Katie, in our highly specific hands became a savoy stomp, a battle between Cab Calloway in the A sections and Josephine Baker in the B sections, ala Run DMC vs Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way.” Of the many perks of Craigslist Rando Justin is his skill at making saxophone mouthpieces by day and arranging Dixieland meets New Orleans funeral horn clusters by night. That’s that midi Midas after touch! The ear bending polytonal first solo is a function of us changing the arrangement so many goddamned times that I was convinced the backing chords were in a key from 3 ideas previous. I still don’t know what key we’re in there!

lyrics

Well hey hey hey
Roll my bones away
oh whoa my boozy leg
it’s been achin all the day
caught between the tides
we’ll nest ourselves alive
we all remember the war
so come massage the sorrow

draggin off the wagon
pulled by my misfortunes
inside I’m decorated
going to salt my tambourine

leave my dog alone
and pray my brigade drowned
call me on my diamond day
to sign my rotten leg

soothe my pressure down
ya gonna salt my tambourine
tuck my tail away from the moon
and baby howl my name

I got my tarot reading
off the back of a bottle of yak
Ya gotta saw my wooden leg

draggin off the wagon
pulled by my misfortunes
inside I’m decorated
going to salt my tambourine
soothe my pressure down
ya gonna to salt my tambourine
tuck my tail away from the moon
and baby howl my name
