It's been a while, and I figured I should come back with something wholly new (albeit about 4 months old). I've been holding out on posting this because, frankly, it's the most personal thing I've ever produced. [more inside]

A quickie. Took an ominous Nick Cave/Bad Seeds dirge, applied a little jolt of electrical shockers.

A male-vox take on an old classic. "Safety and danger are threaded through the song, via both a thoughtful lyric and a compulsive cello-driven melody. Even more startling, but hardly surprising, is the ease with which Bush was able to capture the moment when a child first realizes that adults are fallible." - Amy Hanson [more inside]

This started out as a quirky little Spoon riff ripoff, then it turned into a moody acoustic number, but when I tried to record it, it took a left turn into mutant son muntano. It ended up somewhere between Squeeze and Gloria Estefan, I think.

Often happens when I'm recording something else - an idea emerges and rudely elbows its way to the front demanding immediate attention. I might develop this StratOtastic sketch (I've already got a vocal hook - hence the title) as part of a 4- or 5-track EP I'm preparing with the working title "Silverfish", but I thought I'd offer it up for anyone that might want to use it.
