Here's me doing that song from the film "Carrie" where she gets to dance at the Prom.
Maybe it's not a trick and Tommy really likes her? It seems as though things are finally looking up for Carrie. Oops, nope.
CARRIE WHITE BURNS IN HELL! [more inside]
Milada In A Ditch
A few summers ago my mom's friend had a bit of an incident on the winding road to my parents' place and spun her car out, into the ditch. My brother happened upon her and helped her get her car out and told me about it later.
I totally wasn't there but I wrote a song about it anyway and invented things that didn't happen. [more inside]

You Can't See It
My son asked me to record his heartbeat for some school thing a few months ago.
I had this heartbeat lying around so I added some Moog to it and Bob's your uncle it became a synthpop song.
It's Not Enough To Hate Your Name

Se Rapprocher
For the Great Request Raffle, I was assigned Move Closer, by Phyllis Nelson.
I'd actually never heard the song before but on repeated listenings it really grew on me. Great slow groove.
Some of the lyrics were super-cheesy so I thought a solution would be to sing it in a different language. Maybe French?
Then it occurred to me to go FULL ON SERGE GAINSBOURG and here we are. [more inside]

I've Never Seen the End of This Film
Sort of a weird little sketch about part of a movie.
Frank Mills
This song has been stuck in my head since we walked by the (former) Waverly Theater in Greenwich Village last week.
I had to exorcise it today with some sloppy, mistake-filled guitar-playing.

Written for this thing a while ago in which I had a few days to make a song with this title as the prompt and "creative use of starts and stops" as the challenge.

Here's me bashing away on our crappy piano, from this past winter.
It's a song about blindly following things.

Breaking The Ice
significant use of shouting
Sad Tomorrow
A while ago I did a sloppy cover of this great song by The Muffs.
