From time to time my wife and I will hear a little phrase and it will playfully become a slang term for us. My wife named the song “Granola Suicide” from one of those phrases we kept laughing about.

I actually did this in February of 2003 and it reflects my state of mind at that time pretty well. It was my first adventure into using an envelope filter for anything other than funky chord rhythms. It‘s also one that I recorded two separate rhythm guitar tracks and panned them right and left respectively. 

Everything except drums and percussion were recorded directly to a GNX3 recorder using a Gibson LP Custom. All guitar amp models are various effects on a Blackface amp with an American 2x12 cabinet. The bass amp model is an even warp of Acoustic amp direct and a Modern Bass amp with a 2x15 cabinet. It was mixed in GuitarTracks Pro and Mike was kind enough to remaster the song for the CD.

I’d like to thank Mike for his hard work and commitment to the GenX CDs, his help and his patience. I am grateful to be a part of it.
