Flocker 109 - "Down in the Dumps" (2024) Full Album 

DO YA WANNA GET FLOCKED? Down in the Dumps is the new album by my new fake band Flocker 109. Though "new" is a stretch. Going by the artwork it should be obvious that this is heavily Nirvana inspired. But it goes deeper than that. I started dabbling in songwriting around 1992 but I was primarily a drummer so most of my song writing was just sitting around writing awful lyrics, which I covered extensively in the Squeaky Chair podcast. 1993 was when I moved from drums to bass almost exclusively and started going deeper intro trying to write songs. Writing on bass made the songs even weirder than I meant. Later in 93 or into 94 I finally got my own guitar and could go even further. I had many, many cassettes filled with many, many awful songs. And all of my early songwriting was happening right in the middle of Grunge. So the vast majority of the songs were awful Nirvana or grunge ripoff songs with terrible lyrics of me trying to pretend I was sad, depressed and filled with teenage agnst when I was none of those things. To give you an idea, the first song is called Angora for no reason other than Kurt Cobain used to wear angora sweaters. And the song Imbecil is named that because Nirvana had a song named Dumb. A while back I was going through a bunch of these old songs and started thinking it would be funny if I re-recorded them now, 30-ish years later and actually tried to make them into something. Not changing anything. No fixing the dumb lyrics or anything. Not every song is strictly a Nirvana rip off. Some are more regular old grunge. The last song Carbonate was me trying to write a Rollins Band style song. Also there are actually two new songs but I still tried to write terrible lyrics for them. I'm not saying which they are, you'll just have to guess. Doing this was a bit harder than I imagined. Over the years I have tried to do my best at figuring out how to sing without being a good singer. Back then I had no idea about things like keys or fitting the melody to what I was capable of. Trying to go back and record vocals like this was a killer. Several nights of yelling and screaming left me unable to speak for 2 weeks. But I got through it and it's finally finished. Prepare yourself to be flockered!! Lyrics are available at the bottom of the video description.
