Violet Deliriums's video: Sleater-Kinney - Modern Girl guitar cover

This is my cover of Sleater-Kinney's song "Modern Girl" (2005). It seems at first that maybe this is a happy song about everyday American life, living the American dream: having someone who loves her, money to buy a TV and a even donut when she gets hungry from living her modern life. But that line "my whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day" changes things, doesn't it. She is not living in a sunny day, only pretending to. It's not real, it's a picture...and the donut hole is as big as the world she has decided to inhabit. I played it on my Fender Violet Deliriums ESM Signature Model Blacktop HH Jaguar, which has Seymour Duncan SH-1 pickups (I have it in the middle position for this one), a killswitch, and some neat-o stickers on the pickguard. (ESM = Explosive Space Modulator.) I select the bridge humbucker and that goes through my Fender Supersonic 22W amp's "Vintage" (clean) channel. I shape the sound with a Keeley compressor (all four knobs at 12 o'clock) and a TC Electronic Flashback for a slight echo ("Lofi" delay patch). I turn on a TC Electronic MojoMojo Overdrive to add some gain near the end (for the bridge and last verse-chorus). To record it, I played along with the mp3 with my computer speakers and amp huddled around a Samson CO1U microphone into my Mac's Photo Booth program, which reverses the image and I don't know how to fix it. My baby loves me, I'm so happy Happy makes me a modern girl Took my money and bought a TV TV brings me closer to the world My whole life Looked like a picture of a sunny day My whole life Was like a picture of a sunny day My baby loves me, I'm so hungry Hunger makes me a modern girl Took my money and bought a donut The hole's the size of this entire world My whole life Was like a picture of a sunny day My whole life Looked like a picture of a sunny day My baby loves me, I'm so angry Anger makes me a modern girl Took my money, I couldn't buy nothin' I'm sick of this brave new world My whole life Was like a picture of a sunny day My whole life Looked like a picture of a sunny day My whole life Was like a picture of a sunny day My whole life Was like a picture of a sunny day
