Carl sends us:
A new song about my bad tendency to just pack up and leave without warning. The first four lines from this song are all I remember from a very old song I wrote, just before I moved out to Los Angeles in 1990. The melody is new, as are the rest of the […]

Found this:
Been a long dry spell in terms of writing. Wrote and recorded this tonight. Rough round the edges as you like and lazy as hell to boot. But it’s something. Please to enjoy. Or not.

Just came across this:
Another new song, recording in the lowest-fidelity I can manage. This time a country blues song about scary things. I was fooling on YouTube tonight and got to listening to some country blues songs, and was struck by how strange some of the instrumental bits were — just these noisy, atonal riffs. […]

Bob told us about:
I loved baby_balrog and his band’s rollicking original of this tune. For this cover, I figured I’d take the train down another track: slowed way down (down on the ground), stripped way down (just vocal and strumstick), and with a little different shade of blue for the engineer’s hat.

Came across this today:
Laid-back, blues-inspired pop song for the June ‘08 lyric challenge. The phrase “life is all about conflicting desires” did not sink in initially. But on further reflection, I understood how this is true. Such conflict can lead to inertia or abdication of choice, resulting in disappointment.
I did […]

This is an interesting post:
This is a southern rock song about starting over, shedding your skin. It’s my favorite song that I have ever recorded, and one of the first ones I ever recorded as well. Venom was performed by my first band Brokenwater Rhythm, several of the guys are still playing music around the […]

Just came across this:
A characterization of a rich womanizing pimpy kind of guy. Bluesy. I sang, played guitars, including a Gibson 1950's electric Hawaiian lap steel, which appears as the first solo, keyboard (bass), and did all of the production. <a href="http://www.dangerics.com/">Dan Gerics</a> played drums.
The drum machine kind of sound that comes […]

Ben wrote to us about:
12 bar autobiography. From that classroom in Stockholm.
Every word is true.
But the harp is in a minor key. A couple of years ago I located my long lost sister - Claire. She lives in Nevada now. She disappeared from my life way back in 1945 together with mum.
Wartime England was […]

Brian emailed us this:
One week after 9/11/01, upstate New York. Worrying, whinging and existential musing with my friends. Karen says, "At least I'm not dust in New York City." I wrote this while walking to work. It's changed many times since then. Recording details same as in previous song.
The entire […]
