Beer Bones Theme 01-29-09

I had the idea that I was going to cut an 80's style montage to this theme but lost interest/energy just after starting. Bone's has gotten off to a weird start in the new year. Here is your Beer Bones theme:

Fire & Ice prefoming "There's Fire In the Ice"

Beer Bones OFFICIALLY Returns

"Step Right Up" - The Last Minutes

FOX pulled its new episode of Bones last week because George W. decided to address the nation one last time. I donno about you folks out there, but I was devastated. It's real hard to positively function in life without weekly Beer Bones. Needless to say our moral here was devastated. I mean, two new episodes back-to-back? Does that mean two new themes in one week? Is that possible?

The shock has subsided, the return of Bones is here and the timing is perfect. We swore in a new president giving the nation the hope and direction it needs and we can celebrate big time with the return of Bones after a 2 month hiatus. We get TWO NEW EPISODES including one where the team goes to a Circus! Anytime Bones is in a crazy setting--i.e. the costumed Halloween episode--it should bring some excitement because Beer Bones will be out of control!!!! You top that off with another new episode and you're realistically looking at getting your stomach pumped!

Warren and I decided to give you a theme this week even though we haven't seen the episode. Its short and sweet and get you in the right mood. Happy Drinking!

Bones are you back?

[EDITOR'S NOTE: FUCK! NO BONES TONIGHT BECAUSE OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS! NEXT WEEK TWO NEW EPISODES...]

Bones... Brennan.... Booth....

How long has it been? 7 weeks? 2 months? Forever?

I have been wandering aimlessly through life, trying to find meaning. What was the last Bones even about? It feels familiar yet the details are vague... I remember the TNT all day marathon. Mmmm... something with her dad, a line about sleeping...are you gay? Did I dream it? Am I dead? I honestly can't recall the corps or they way the subject died or who did it. Did Angela make out with her girlfriend again? That's something usually burned in to my memory. It must have been a really good episode for drinking....

For the return of Bones, Warren and I lit some incense and stared into a lava lamp for answers. We found this song: a psychedelic 60's jam.

It's been far, far too long and I for one am hungry for Bones, Beer Bones and theme song making. This marks the first episode of 2009 and Bones' move to Thursday nights.

Cheers. Happy New Years.

Beer Bones Theme 11-26-08

11.26.08 - "If you ain't gonna fly wit me" by Superlicious Collective

This past weeks quirky Beer Bones episode that "takes place entirely on a plane while in flight" inspired a song about being up in the air. Channeling Funkadelic, we bring you a song about being super high (and doin' it)--this theme is excactly what Ween would sound like if they created a Beer Bones Theme Song for this episode.

Enjoy the holidays....

P.S. There's no Bones (not even a repeat!) next week... so I guess we're taking another break.

Beer Bones Returns With A Vengence

Hey Guys, the weekly themes for Beer Bones returns!

Tonight marks the third episode since the show Bones returned from hiatus because of the world series. We took a break as well and though you haven't gotten anything from us in over a month that doesn't mean we haven't been busy making theme songs to coincide with the airing of new episodes. I got a little behind because of the celebration of the president elect and two weeks of kickball playoffs. But here it is, the motherload: THREE BEER BONES THEMES!

This brings the total of themes we have created up to 9 songs so far.

When we first started I didn't know what to expect. I knew it would be challenging but I hoped it would be a valuable exercise because I assumed two things: 1) We would undoubtedly get better week after week. We would make better songs, better production value, get better at mixing, singing, playing, ect. And 2) With getting better and having more experience, cranking out a song each week would get easier and hopefully faster.

After 9 weeks of songs, #1 is true. We're all getting much better. The first to couple themes are almost unlistenable compared to the last couple--and not because as Warren politely puts it "they lack drums". They sound better all around. I expect future themes to be better than this batch. #2 however is the complete opposite. Songs are taking longer to make because we have been challenging ourselves further and further every week. And it's not the same process. Everytime week we pick a new genre, we are sort of back to square one experimenting with pedals and effects to get the right sound. We are to the point to where last week we worked on our theme 5 nights out of the week. 5!!! (I'm counting the night we watched the next episode, but still.) That's like a job and working on it that much makes it feel like, well, work. And that's silly. So there you have it. The time, blood and booze that is put into a weekly song.

11.05.08 - "Transgender Preacher" by Little E & The Zion Dub All-Stars

Before we watched this episode which aired 10.14.08 Warren had suggested Reggae as a theme. The show opened with Washington stoners sitting on beach listening to reggae. We kind of had to do it at that point. Definitely the worst episode of the year. It really is about a Transgender Preacher. WTF? We actually had this song ready to go for the next we week until we realized that there wasn't going to be a new Bones for a while. We've sort of transitioned from making fun of crappy music to actually trying to make good songs. That is why I did not sing this song with a Jamaican accent and pitch shift myself down. Instead, its like white reggae... so... uh... if you're into that thing.... maybe you'll like it.

11.12.08 - "You & Me, Girl" by Lasermatic

Bones returns from break with an awesome ridiculous episode about murderous hipsters and posers artists. More importantly we learn Angela experimented with girls, sexually, back in college. And fuck it, she'll do it again for old times' sake. This is our attempt at 80's, white, cocaine disco track. Somewhere between The Apple and Talking Heads.

11.19.08 - "The Sharpshooter" by Constellation

A fun episode where we meet Booth's brother also known as "that guy from Roswell". In what could've at the time been a throwaway line, he tosses out that Booth used to be a star sharpshooter. Who knew? 90's stoner rock song. Recorded and mixed all in one session! Now that's how I like to do it.

Thanks so much to Ashley for her contributions on keyboards and vocals. I often forget to mention that she helps out. And of course to Warren who's the mastermind behind this whole project. Also, anyone know anybody that wants to make a real website for this?

Peace,
B
