Hank emailed us this:
I wrote this song around 1992 or 1993, wanting it to be a guitar song even though I hadn’t really picked up the instrument. I re-recorded it recently, using a lot of the original arrangement from my cassette demo, and it’s not working for me. So I’d like some feedback. I’m wondering […]

Found this post:
Awhile ago I spent way too much time reading a thread on the always excellent Marginal Revolution blog discussing possible tactics for dealing with sudden and unwelcome time-travel to 1000 A.D. Clearly the thread needed to be put to music. (OK, it was clear to me at least.) That was so much fun […]

Nancy told us about:
New rough demo for a live “rock” project I’m writing a new batch of songs for a live band I want to start . . my self-imposed criteria is that I have to get it all across with drums, bass, one guitar and one vocal line. Unfortunately there are only five drummers […]

Adrian told us about:
The actual title of this song is 「聞いてはいけない、言ってはいけない」, which is pronounced “Kiite wa Ikenai, Itte wa Ikenai”. I probably ought to be more out than I am, but I like seeing the reaction of people who don’t suspect when I do come out. (Doesn’t work on other gay men, though.) Like “光速/Kousoku“, […]

This is interesting:
It seemed time for an uncomplicated pop song (not that any of my songs are super complex in the first place). But in this nice little package you get everything you’re looking for in a standard radio-friendly pop song (does anyone listen to the radio anymore?)… Features include:
- boy and girl meet, wrong […]

Kent told us about:
A few months ago I decided I wanted to try and do a cover. Based on the result, it was clearly a bad idea. I probably should have been discouraged but instead, after months of therapy, I decided to try again. The victim this time was one of my favorite artists […]

Just came across this:
Written back at the turn of the millennium (oh the good old days) this song is about our old friend Victor. He’s an ethnic Chinese, Australian born doctor who abandoned medicine (and Sydney) to embrace the “structured” world of computer programming and the United States. Once you understand the laws that govern […]

This is an interesting post:
Wrote this a few years ago. An introspective song about a place to be introspective. Since I recently restarted writing and recording music I’ve written several new songs. However, there are a handful of older ones that I think deserve to be re-recorded, updated, and posted. (There are also many that […]
