New Song – Up Until You Came Around

Great news for our fan! A brand new song from the Mysterious Beings is now available for your listening pleasure.

Up Until You Came Around

 

Initially, I hesitated to make it available, being alive to the very real danger of it being so good that I would not be able to cope with its inevitable success and the changes this would bring to my life. After listening to it again, sober this time, I felt confident that it was safe to do so.

1000 Plays at SoundCloud

Yesterday, the Mysterious Beings reached a milestone in their meteoric* rise to fame. We passed 1000 plays at SoundCloud. I suspect that this is due to somebody listening to a couple of songs and accidentally leaving their phone in repeat mode for several days, but I’m not excluding the possibility that it’s because our brilliance is finally being recognized. A big thank you to all our fans. Or fan.

* The Mysterious Beings resemble a meteorite in that they have been seen by very few inhabitants of this galaxy.

In the Studio

I am often asked* how we achieve that unique Mysterious Beings sound. What kind of expensive studio equipment do we use to massage the raw musical energy of the band into the smooth, silky, sophisticated vocal and instrumental stylings that are so instantly recognizable to our fan?

Well, the answer is our studio manager, Big Mike.

Mike recently joined us from Best Buy and took over from Wee Mike, who quit for health reasons. Big Mike is a “Blue Yeti,” as can be seen from the fact that he is silver and not a yeti, but just a microphone, though admittedly a big-assed one. The most prized quality in any microphone I use is the ease with which it can be persuaded to make my voice sound as unlike my voice as possible. By this measure, Big Mike still has room to improve, but, as we become friends, there is a good chance that our partnership could result in more songs. Sorry about that.
