Seven Shades of Blue
Another song recorded live at the cabin for the album. [more inside]
My Girl
We were young. We had a 4-track, a room full of instruments, and several pots of coffee. We'd just learned how to mess with vocals by speeding them up or slowing them down. Things got weird. [more inside]
Whispers
Part of the unofficial internal mic mefi challenge. A song about a car accident outside my apartment building and the people that come to watch. [more inside]
casanova ruins
I was walking around in the garment district at night on valentine's day years ago, and spotted a beautiful woman walking alone across the street. Despite being glamorously dressed up, she looked like she had lost all faith in men. She was carrying a heart-shaped balloon and huge flowers. This song is sort of about that. [more inside]
Sift
Kind of a break from recording and re-recording songs to be played live this year, this is kind of a folksy, reverb and acoustic-heavy, simple and short composition. Harmonizing my vocals is such a bummer lately, since it reveals how limited one's range is... [more inside]
Stone Mover
Another demo for our album that is in production. Sung by my friend and drummer Neil who has recently found his voice. A song of regret and the often crushing weight of unconditional love. [more inside]
Urban Pleasure
A song about being young and living in the city and trying to stay sane. [more inside]
Roads of Plenty
My attempt at the Metafilter lyric challenge [more inside]
Horn
A new version of a song I came up with this year. This is a lot like how it will sound live. Hopefully it'll get even funkier. (disclaimer: used to be called "The Porn Song")
Acoustic Fragment
Fingerpicking on my camping guitar; a song I wrote 30 years ago. Sorry for the lofi recording--I just played it into my laptop. [more inside]
Intro (version)
A new version of a song I had a couple of months ago. Kind of an OCD version.
Swallowing Hair
3 guitar noise thing. [more inside]
breaking the rules
I added a guitar accompaniment to By The Grace of God's gorgeous a cappella country waltz. [more inside]
cc'ed
Another acoustic, instrumental tune. This is the first track I've made in GarageBand (my Ubuntu machine died hard last week).
Slip or Fade
Acoustic number in the works, just looking for some advice & feedback about this song (see description) [more inside]
Flyball's Lament (the cover one)
A version of my still-favorite all-time MeMu song by the inimitable Great Big Mulp, for the June challenge. [more inside]
Roll Back the Stone
I was in a good mood this week.
Oh! Susanna
Classical banjo and fingerstyle guitar arrangement of the Stephen Foster tune. [more inside]
Jam back in the house
Layered solo instrumental using just a guitar and a loop pedal. [more inside]
Tonight Hit the Bong With Me
A very dumb cover of Tonight You Belong To Me, written by Lee David, 1926.
boing
hubris in E major [more inside]
Live or Let Die
Aaaaand it's another nugget from Derailleur's alternate-Bond-theme project. We found that flipping from "and" to "or" gives you a completely different take on life. [more inside]
Things I Used to Know (demo)
"Our minds are permeable to forgetfulness; I myself am distorting and losing, through the tragic erosion of the years, the features of Beatriz."
-- Jorge Luis Borges [more inside]
Go Home Metronome
An exhausting afternoon called for extensive multitracking and math-rocking minus the thinking part. [more inside]
Movin' On Up
The lazy cracker, banjo-infused version of the Jeffersons theme song. [more inside]
Chester v3
First mix of fer-realz recording of one of my songs: Chester. Per my last AskMefi post, please critique it! [more inside]
Tell Yourself
I suppose this is the equivalent of my last yay new instrument song. Banjo, 'lectric guitar, 'lectric drums, singin. [more inside]
This Town
Not so different from anything else I've done, but I'm proud of the production of this one. [more inside]
Iowa City
A simple song about disagreement, frustration, and the prairie. Just doubled guitar and vocals. Recorded by The Grandma Sylvias, March 2008.
Solace for King Benny?
I was so upset by King Benny's loss of pets/friends as described in 'All my hearts are belong to you' that I fell into a fit of sentimental indulgence and thus penned a hurried tribute. Apologies for taking anyone's name in vain...
Bury Your Tracks
A more ambitious song I've been working on for a while. Would really, really love any feedback. [more inside]
All My Hearts (Are Belong To You)
A tribute to classic country music. [more inside]
Counting Song
A crackly, sketchy demo recording that never found a band.
My little place
A repetitive, driving song featuring my first foray into recording piano-ery. It also has a jammy rockout outro (rockoutro?). [more inside]
Hopscotch
A laptop-demo of a song that I'm doing currently live solo + live with a band. This version if solo + looped, so it's one take, but I'm looking to record it for real pretty soon - so please, I beseech you for constructive criticism! Gracias!
Love More
Title song from my self-produced record last year. [more inside]
Blankets and Pillows
Recorded last summer sometime, was on a solo album I produced. [more inside]
No Going Back
This is not the happiest song I've ever written. [more inside]
Marie
Song I wrote and recorded recently when thinking about how thankful I am for my friends. [more inside]
Sunday Front Porch
Early morning front porch music... [more inside]
Hard Times Come Again No More
Just installed new strings and set up my new 3-mic stand; I figured I'd test drive 'em both. [more inside]
Hey (or how the band did its thing)
A woozy, detached song that builds. My first ever attempt at recording vocals. [more inside]
Octopussy (rough mix)
Another very rough mix from Derailleur's Bond Theme Songs project. I can't remember what the official theme song to Octopussy even was, but I'm sure it didn't rock as hard as ours. [more inside]
a perfect preservative
I pretty li'l ditty about jelly, pirates, and (of course) true love. still getting my bearings as far as recording in my new apartment. two guits and a glockenspiel for the win? [more inside]
Riff tide
Some simple arpeggios and other guitar improvs [more inside]
Make it True
Influenced by Afro-pop. Voice, percussion, and a little guitar. [more inside]
That's All
Here's a somewhat sappy song about a former lady friend in DADF#A (I broke my high E string the other night, so no tuning for that one). I wrote and put it together this morning. [more inside]
b
This is the reaction to my constant enthusiasm about music theory: I strung up my first guitar, a 3/4 size steel-string classical, with a mismatch of electric guitar strings, and tuned it BF#BBBD#. Then just played whatever. It made for an entertaining spring break and a kind of 'endearing' song.
noodling
More 12-string fingerstyle. This time the tuning is DADDAD. [more inside]
mission has failed reprise (with Video)
I've posted this song here previously, but I wanted to share the video I made for it with the help of my lovely and talented assistant Jacob Guza. Hope you enjoy.
NSFW lyrics/youtube [more inside]
