This performance by Mad Mar Walker (me) was filmed at the Molten Java send-off benefit on Dec 18, 2011, in Bethel CT. Since it was filmed in portrait rather than landscape AND since my head looks like a bowling ball with bad hair - well, I thought I'd just distort the heck out of the picture and give people something slightly less disorienting to look at....
METHOD: In iMovie HD - I used the Crystalize effect to make large cells, followed by the Edge effect, mirror effect, bloom, then n2 and exposure adjust. I exported it from there as an .dv file and used the new iMovie to turn it into an M4v file. whew... I left the sound naked as the day it was born. No effects there at all, gravel old age and all.
THE SONG:
This one dates back to when I was going out with my future husband and I was in my early twenties.
Lay On Down And Die
a song by Mad Mar Walker
Verse 1)
REFRAIN:
Verse 3)
REFRAIN
Verse 1)
My love rents from a cold water baroness who
sticks to his pay check like gum (shit) on a shoe
on payday, she stalks him like a bloodhound dog
but after lunch why she'll be lost in a corn mash fog
REFRAIN:
So you and me go down to our favorite spotVerse 2)
in the grave yard beneath the pine trees
where it never gets too hot
We'll read the tombstone poets smell the flowers, get a little high
and when were too happy to move
why we'll just lay on down and die
You had yourself a rusted out Chevrolet carREFRAIN
you drove it one night right thought the window of a bar
Then they could not find you for 17 days
when they did were mumbling dirty words
and your little eyes were still glazed.
Verse 3)
For your birthday I brought you buttered rum, Jamacian red
You smoked and you drank till I was sure you was dead
but when it comes to chasing round after me
you're ever ready like that famous flashlight battery....
REFRAIN
