Me and Al
This is a sketch of a work in progress. It started out as a simple cascade riff on the top three strings of the guitar and morphed into what appears to be an Irish fiddle lament. [more inside]
Paperweight
Mining old acoustic songs to deconstruct and add beats to. This song gutted this time.
Whimsy Will Be the End of Me
A remix of an old acoustic cover of a Slipknot song. Glitched-out and re-sampled beyond recognition.
Baking Powder Blues
Acoustic fingerstyle blues instrumental.
My first effort at writing a riff blues, and also my first effort at recording. Completed as a final assignment for a Berklee Music MOOC. [more inside]
Liza Jane
My version of the traditional tune Liza Jane, played clawhammer style on guitar. [more inside]
22 (not a t. swift song)
I took a break from music stuff for six months, and then came up with three songs in rapid succession. I'm out of practice, and I'm not in love with this one, but it's the best of the three. Posting just so I don't completely fall out of the habit.
So Much More
Just got a new zoom h6 to record with. Guitar, vocals, whistling, and a 1930's Dogherty pump organ. [more inside]
js theme
Another quick 'jazz' tune recorded during the week.
To Kill the Pain
Parental Guidance: Adult Themes, Adult Language, Dobro [more inside]
Paint
Quiet guitar for a quiet afternoon. [more inside]
You Never Laugh
Weird little acoustic whisper-sing experiment from a few years ago. Born of legitimate frustration. [more inside]
No Favors
Acoustic guitar, some words. [more inside]
3 Legged Dog
A very short and simple ode to my dog who I love. [more inside]
belladonna
I don't think it meets the bar MajorDundee set, but I gave it a shot. Adapted the words from Belladonna. Learned a lot! [more inside]
J Base
Short instrumental with multi-tracked acoustic guitar. I apologize for how quiet and fuzzy the recording is. This is my first upload on MetaFilter but I have other stuff posted under the same username on Youtube if you care to listen to anything else. Thanks!
Best Friends Forever
Best Friends Forever - we always will be.
Best Friends Forever. Just you and me....
Written and performed by Julian Mount (aka: JtJ)
Bad Romance & Pisgah
For Valentine's Day, 2012, a ragtime arrangement of two unlikely bedfellows: Lady Gaga's Bad Romance and the 1817 JC Lowry tune Pisgah (58 in The Sacred Harp). [more inside]
Green Green Rocky Road
Dave van Ronk cover
Auld Lang Syne, ragtime fingerstyle arrangement
It's been five years since my last attempt at arranging Auld Lang Syne. I thought I might try to start a small fire under it this year. [more inside]
Under Radiant Signs
Another acoustic guitar thing. [more inside]
All The Small Things
I seem unable to cover songs (even those I hate) without making them sound completely earnest.
Leon's Song
A song written for a friend going through a bad break-up.
Bow, bass and drum
Myself and Peterkins getting mellow on a Sunday afternoon. All acoustic, guitar and double bass, with added percussiveness from Peterkins.
Poker Face
Acoustic guitar cover of the Lady Gaga song. [more inside]
Boots Of Spanish Leather
Another "get me out of this musical funk" cover. The more I hear Dylan sing this, the more I think this may be his most beautiful song. Here's my try. [more inside]
Pilot
Apologies for my absence — again.
I will be releasing an album under the moniker Kings Of Last Night this year, and I want to share with you an outtake, a B-side if you will, a sketch of a song that didn't make the album but deserves to be played on the internets.
That song is "Pilot", a story of aviation, extended metaphors, the fourth wall, and disaster.

Tik Tok
My acoustic cover of the Mefi favourite by Ke$ha.
I Have a Window
Another bedroom-recorded song. [more inside]
Every Wave of Sound
My break-up song, written a number of years ago. [more inside]
Bring Us Your Leader
Another lo-fi acoustic tune about the end of the world. Not too cheerful stuff. [more inside]
Landfall
Quiet plucked acoustic guitar and vocals.
This song completes the lyrical cycle that includes "My Cirripedian Friends" and "A Brand New Fabrication". [more inside]
NYC
A reverse audio postcard to a friend on vacation.
Lies
Another impromptu song. [more inside]
Lazy John
Old-time fiddle tune performed by the usual gang at The People's Pint in Greenfield, Massachusetts. [more inside]
A Brand New Fabrication
The lyrical counterpoint to "My Cirripedian Friends". [more inside]
My Cirripedian Friends
This is a song about drowning at sea, denial and adventure. [more inside]
Old Joe Clark
An old-time chestnut on guitar, mandolin, and my new Menzies tackhead banjo [more inside]
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Cover of the Ewan McColl classic, at the original speed for once. So I know covering a classic like this is pretty dumb -- how you gonna compete with Johnny Cash, Peggy Seeger and Roberta Flack? But I was really curious about something I read, so I wanted to try an experiment. [more inside]
Eyeless (Slipknot cover)
This is what Slipknot would sound like if they were only one guy in his bedroom and didn't yell so much.
April 23
A rendering of a theme, to start thinking about what it could be in a song. Kind of happy.
Apart
I can't tell if the glass is half full or half empty on this song. But that's ok. Ambiguity is all right. [more inside]
14 Candles
Not So Kind
A very short little song wherein I take the harshly honest route toward an old friend. [more inside]
Cowboy's Dream
A first stab at an old-time fiddle tune I've been obsessed with lately. [more inside]
The Garden of Forking Paths
This Borges-inspired track appears on the new Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies EP, Labyrinths, available now for streaming and download. The demo was posted here. [more inside]
O Little Town of Bethlehem
douce nuit
Short, with improvised and awkwards chunks, various mistakes, and a outro that flirts with crashlanding. Peace.
The Ballad of Cherry Hill
This is the lead-off track from the forthcoming EP, Labyrinths, by Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies, to be released 1/7/10. It's a wistful slice of indie-pop about insomnia, suburban isolation, and the boredom of hometowns. [more inside]
Angeline the Baker
Traditional old-time fiddle tune in D, instrumental clawhammer banjo & guitar. [more inside]
