“First of May” being of course Jonathan Coulton’s immortal celebration of spring, love, and outdoor recreation, possibly the most gentle song ever to drop multiple f-bombs. I thought, what if “First of May,” but with lots of drums and buzzy guitars? The answer to this question awaits you when you click on the video. Fun fact: The basis for this version of the song is a previous cover version I did with an acoustic tenor guitar, eight years ago. I took that version, ran it through Logic to separate the guitar and vocal tracks, and then slathered the guitar in feedback and added an additional vocal track (along with other programming). It was not less work than just recording from scratch. It was still fun. Note: This song is generally not safe for work, unless work lets you blast music with lots of f-bombs. In which case, crank it, baby. Welcome to May! — JS
