Gokuh: Difference between revisions

"'''Gokuh'''", according to [[Karl]], "was created in response to a Japanese girlie magazine of the same name (now defunct apparently) that our [[Takashi Hasegawa|Japanese roommate]] (rivers karate partner, etc) brought to the apartment one day back in '91. It was full of classic engrish, but all porn style. the "philosophy" of the magazine was "Women provoke an era. And the counterattack to them by men will begin by means of Gokuh". that became the main part of the lyrics for the "song", which was actually an experiment i got [[Rivers]], [[Pat]], and [[Jason]] to do, where i laid down drums (drum machine) and they were not allowed to listen to anyone elses tracks when they added their parts. so all the vocals, bass line and guitar parts have nothing to do with each other, but everybody had to use the same lyrics, interpreting the cadence, melodies etc their own way, without knowing what everyone else was doing. Then Rivers mixed it down and it was done. To call it a serious song is an insult to serious songs. But if you hear it and dont laugh then you are probably dead."

"Fortunately i still have "THE" issue that the song was inspired from. containing such articles as "CONFRONTATION! Photographers Vs. Glossy Models", "How to be the guy getting called 'Goldfinger' by gals", the graphic piece "The Map of Part" apparently summarizing the minute details of the female organ for the inexperienced, and the morbid editorial "My Fetus is Dead By Traffic Accident"...and NO, im not making a word of this up!!! best magazine ever published?"

 

During a Stickam chat with [[Albumsix]] fans, Karl played "Gokuh" in it's entirety. Unfortunately, no recording exists.
