Pregnant Worm Assembles the Rubber Glove Taser (5:32)

This is my first attempt at palindromic music, so the first song is the actual song and the second is the song backwards, and hopefully they should be similar.

there are obvious practical difficulties when attempting to create a truly palindromic sound, but one thing I could be sure of was chord progression. Of course there are some elements I added in after I went through the rigorous process of gluing crap together and basically folding it in half on itself so-to-speak.
For instance, after I ‘folded this in half on itself’ (something I’m just not going to get into, and a process I can’t actually fully remember to be honest) I added in a little beat into the third movement, or in other words, the movement entitled ‘radio.’ (In the first movement entitled ‘nightmare’ I sing about proxy radio. I don’t get it either but for some reason, it must be that way.) So its not strictly truly a palindromic sound, but just listen to the ‘radio’ movement at the end of each and imagine the first one without the beat, and I’d say its pretty close.
To top it off, I accidentally recorded a palindromic sound that occurs in ‘the wild’: train sounds. You can catch it near both the beginnings and ends of both versions, naturally.

Here’s a little intermission while I finish the next thing down the pipes. Its going to be huge. In the meantime this is a song I’ve been playing for a while and decided to record since I was so sick of working on this other thing. It turned out to be ok so I’m putting it up here. Paul Simon once said it was his favorite song to play back in the Simon and Garfunkel days.

Reckoner Remix : nupollutionism
Radiohead’s “Reckoner” Remix: 4/4
I’m much more excited about Radiohead’s latest challenge to remixify “Reckoner” for a [letter] of reasons:
A) Reckoner’s stems are on i-Tunes all together for .99 total (Nude’s stems were .99 per stem). this makes this activity seem less like a marketing scheme rather than the post-Web 2.0 artistic conversation it was meant to be.
B) This time it’s 4/4.
C) They are upfront about the tempo: 103.4 BPM. This is cool because it will save me a day. Thanks Radiohead.
The uncool thing about the tempo is that i’m probably going to use something like Garageband and it doesn’t cover tempos rounded to the nearest tenth of a beat per minute.
Anyone want to also send me your Reckoner remix as well?
