Move On (What you got?)
This is a balls out little rush of a song that I came up with on my iPhone of all places. After I got the first line I realized it was going to have to continue in the same vein so I went over to AskMe for help. I just meant this to be a rough sketch but I ended up liking the feel of it even though it's ridiculously ragged. The song's a sort of statement of intent, I guess. Equal parts Elvis Costello, Cheap Trick and the Stones, more or less. [more inside]

I Don't Want to Say Goodbye
Next installment from my record "Innocent Explanations". Written after seeing Paul McCartney at the Garden, where I sat next to Lenny Kravitz. It was late at night, so I had to play quietly as I was writing - hence the acoustic guitar. I hoped to achieve a kind of acoustic-New Wave sound.
