Inverted Alchemy
A fuzz rock demo [more inside]
Next Year's Gotta Be Better Than This One
For anybody who figures it can't get any worse. Best played loud while drinking and shouting along. [more inside]
Fruit Truck
Imagine a truck full of fruit, hauling ass down a long, winding road. It's driver, eyes red and glowing with hate, oblivious to the trail of oranges and grapefruits he leaves behind... [more inside]
Way up high
I've decided to face my embarrassment and post this song. [more inside]
Going Down to Die
A Danzig cover (aahh!)
I used to love the early Danzig albums back in high school. Three or four months ago I had a nice night and must have remembered the band because I woke up with this. It has since been remastered several times ( took out a lot of bass on the guitar ) and many attempts to post have been made (some nights you just can't figure out LAME). Like everything else I seem to have thrown together so far, it's one take on guitar (with vocals from that take bleeding in) and then one for vocals which were doubled. I added some shit in the left at a couple places.
The Accursed Hat, Version II
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
I recorded this version of the old Christmas standard with the original, depressing-as-hell lyrics. Check out this FPP for the backstory. [more inside]
Santa Claus is comin' to town
A cover of the "I'll be watching you" of Christmas songs, recorded with my dear friend okclementine. [more inside]

I Know A Guy Named Dan Huff
My good friend Dan Huff came to visit last week, and he brought copies of his new album. Dan is the most prolific songwriter and music maker I know, and absolutely one of my greatest influences. Writing and recording can be daunting tasks for normal musicians, but Dan has a love for music so intense that no barrier ever stands in his way. If Dan Huff can record an entire album in the back of his truck, then there are no excuses for the rest of us. Nothing should get between the artist and the audio tape. That's why Dan's newest album is so important. You can listen to some samples on his myspace page, but he's given me permission to post the album in its entirety on the internet, and I think you Mefites would be particularly interested in listening to it.

Whoop Heet
Here's a song that is stylistically similar to Apfel Augen, but with (half stolen) lyrics, and some percussion that I'm quite fond of. The guitar is tuned C#G#C#F#A#C#. It features some cool whistling, which I was trying to make sound like slide electirc guitar. [more inside]
Together
Laid back guitar pop, on a classical guitar - written for a friends wedding.
Touching
Instrumental classical guitar, in a laid back pop style. [more inside]
Poison Ivy League (Elvis Presley cover)
At micayetoca's request, here is my take on Elvis Presley's Poison Ivy League.
As a special bonus, here's me playing ukulele!
Dudely muzac
Apparently my last few posts have been pretty girly but that's cool, I'm comfortable with my musical sexuality. I wanted there to be no ambiguity with this one so I cranked my gitar to 11 and played it as dirty as I could. [more inside]
Verging
A moody, layered acoustic number with my wannabe Iron & Wine vocals.
It's a love song baby
Taking a short break from challenges to make a quick love song. [more inside]
i will (radiohead cover)
Spur-of-the-moment lo-fi live cover of the Radiohead song off Hail to the Thief, to which I added a couple of equally rough overdubs and some reverb. The guitar is out of tune and poorly played, but the vocal melody tweaks are kind of fun. [more inside]
A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes
Yes, it's Disney, with some nice jazzy guitar as background courtesy of Adrian Holovaty...I tried to add a few touches of my own, I hope you enjoy.
I'm a Little Airplane
Jonathan Richman cover, as learned from They Might Be Giants. [more inside]
Cashmachine
Response to several challenges. [more inside]
Here comes your man
Because it hath been requested.
That's All
I'm jumping back into music with both feet right now, so here's another rehearsal recording for your listening pleasure. This sweet tune was introduced by Nat King Cole back in 1952. You young whippersnappers probably remember it from elsewhere though. Sigh. [more inside]
Mean to Me
Back to practicing new repertoire with my freakishly adorable guitarist Barry. Yay! Sooo, here's a pretty straight and peppy little version of an old standard tune by Fats Waller. [more inside]
Vignette 2
A quick 'n' dirty instrumental with some mute-picking that sort of sounds like violin plucking. But isn't. [more inside]
Todo Los Dolores (Devendra Banhart cover)
Jumping in on the music challenge to cover a song in a language you don't speak. I have no idea what I am saying in this song. [more inside]
In Your Name
I've spent the past couple of months trying to improve my production skillz with my limited resources. This is the first song to come out of it all (probably because it's the simplest) with more on the way hopefully! [more inside]
Israel/Hit the Road Jack
Forgot to upload this last track from my friend Matt and I. Instrumental, two acoustic guitars. [more inside]
Back To Being Me
Maybe I wrote this song for Aretha Franklin. Maybe I wrote it for Candi Staton. Either way, when I sing it I feel like a large black woman.
Beach Casanova
Sometimes there's a man - I won't say a hero, 'cause what's a hero? - but sometimes there's a man. A man on a beach. A Beach Casanova. NSFW.
[more inside]
Youth
New song, kind of a spur of the moment thing. I think this is pop, and that's cool with me.
'Til We're Dead (EP version)
Rerecorded version of "'Til We're Dead" from my forthcoming EP. [more inside]
Skipping Stones (please help)

Lost Time
A rough mix of the title track from my just-recorded EP under the name Green Sees.
theme from "gone"
Why
Came up with this song yesterday, and I sort of like it. A departure. [more inside]
Elves in Iceland
Sort of a cheating entry to the wildcard challenge - a flowy, stringy instrumental. [more inside]
Here
This song has a feel I haven't easily been able to reproduce since recording it. I can barely play the song live. Despite some horrific essing, probably my favorite home recording.
P.S. I Am The Cat
Just a song I came up with and then recorded myself.
Chemical Ace
Kinda country plus the Cure. the song's about Einstein and Uri Geller and serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, and the shady little place they all meet. [more inside]
Morning Anger
I am a morning person. My girlfriend, not so much. [more inside]
Chalk Street
New rough demo for a live "rock" project [more inside]
she's sleeping
Misty
Solo guitar. One quick and dirty take, recorded with the windows open. [more inside]
summer's gone
butterflies
I just came up with this and recorded it on the H2 (I upped the volume a bit in Audition afterward). I'm pretty bad at finger picking and this owes a lot to John Fahey and Roy Harper. Not that they're bad at finger picking.... There's a faster and shorter version as well, but I liked the drone of this one more.
undulate underling
A short, lyrically strange new song partly based on a dream. [more inside]
Stan Lee (rough mix)
Rough mix of a Derailleur song about Stan Lee. How many guitars are in this song? Lots. Lots of guitars. [more inside]
Seven Shades of Blue
Another song recorded live at the cabin for the album. [more inside]
