Today I am Thankful for the Presidents of the United States of America!
The band....
From youtube:
My goodness do I love the Presidents of the United States of America and every musical thing Chris Ballew does!
This is one of my favorites. I mess up the words and play pretty novice-ly and the guitbass will not stay in tune at all, but I like my version quite a bit for all it's flaws.
I made a guitbass!
Many videos back (https://youtu.be/fg8skpCNRJE) I wrote about this guitar and how Guitar Center wouldn't buy it. I had to do something with it!
I started putting stickers on it and finally realized that I always wanted a guitbass ever since I found out about them!
I'll write more on pondercouch.com!
Here's some other Presidents and Chris Ballew songs I've covered:
Last Girl on Earth - https://youtu.be/c_lzAKNotoE
Boot Got Grounded - https://youtu.be/mzyH94Juz4Q
Munky River - https://youtu.be/lTWBPHB__eU
I hope you're having a good day.
New stuff just on the Ponder Couch:
Here's pictures of my guitbass!
I love this guitbass!
It won't stay in tune for anything, but I love it!
The strings vibrate to the point of uncontrollable distortion, but I love it!
I had to file down the bridge thing at the top of the neck so the strings would fit in it, but it was worth it!
I tried to sell this guitar to Guitar Center a few days ago. At first the guy said he'd buy it for $40, but then he took a look at the truss rod and decided he couldn't get the neck to unbow enough to make it sellable.
I'm kind of glad he didn't buy it. I don't like Guitar Center very much, and I'd miss this horrible, crappy guitar.
I like Alkaline Trio a lot. I don't have their newest album yet, but I've got all of their old stuff (I think).
I like this song a lot, too. I hope you like my cover of it.
From youtube: Here's a cover of Green Day's "Church on Sunday". I kept the first take because I pretty much got all the words right and played most of the notes correctly!
Today's Thing-a-Day Thing is a Mash-up of "Baker Street" and "Careless Whisper"!
From the youtube description:
Baker Street is originally by Gerry Rafferty!
Careless Whisper is originally by George Michael!
This is a mash-up of both songs! Or at least their saxophone parts!
I play it on sethsaphone because I don't know how to play saxophone!
Enjoy!

Here are the original songs:
I know Baker Street only from Lisa Simpson playing it in one episode of the Simpsons. I don't remember where I heard Careless Whisper for the first time.
These two saxophone parts always make me think of the Night Man Theme Song:
Now that I listen to it again, I'm not sure why they remind me of it. I used to think "Careless Whisper" was the Night Man Theme. My memory doesn't always remember well.
If you want more sethsaphone covers of saxophone songs, just ask!
