Kevin Is Lonely
He told a lady at the mall to fuck off. [more inside]
That's Enough
Recorded in November, after a summer reading Peter Guralnick's awesome two-part biography, Last Train to Memphis and Careless Love.
Boots
A guitar, a buzzing tube amp, a me. Some clapping.
From a new collection of songs called Cake Dome, written and recorded entirely in the 29 days of February, 2012.
I made a video, which you can watch on Vimeo or YouTube.
Your Telephone
I've never really been much of a "chat on the phone" person.
Elbow
The first completed song out of the 10 I'm supposed to have done by the end of the month for the RPM Challenge. Don't think I'm going to make it at this rate. [more inside]
His Last Few Days
I thought it was really darkly comical; you might find it depressing. [more inside]
Christmas Island
I made my children to sing on another Christmas song. In three-part harmony.
Merry Christmas, everybody.
Solitaire
Cover of the Carpenters song. [more inside]
this is why
More of a slow-building groove than a "song."
Probably recorded about 10 years ago, I honestly can't remember. [more inside]
Fame
Sort of a spare, dirge-like rendition. [more inside]
Kinderstash
A riff song about using a kid's room to hide contraband.
Two tube amps, a 1970's generic-brand Japanese drum kit and some other stuff.
If I Had One
Sort of a sappy one. [more inside]
Boron Rod
I entered this over at Songfight a few months ago. The song for that week had to be titled "Boron Rod." I didn't know what that was so I had to look it up. [more inside]
They Don't Run Your Life
Another pep talk for the anxious and non-confrontational. [more inside]
Christmas Don't Be Late
Now chipmunk-free.
The Worst Things
always win.
Waltz #2
60 Days
My attempt at a "summer song" for this month's challenge. [more inside]
People Got to Be Free
Cover of The Rascals' song that was a Billboard #1 hit on the day I was born. With a bit of a nod to "The Model." [more inside]
Heavenly Club
This song was #1* on the day I was born. [more inside]
Circles
Really old demo recording that I recently found on a decaying tape. [more inside]
Oh The King
A tune about an odd man who used to roam around my neighborhood as a kid. He wore a crown sometimes. Featuring chococat on drums. [more inside]
Sorry You Died
A song begun a few years ago and just recently finished. I recorded the initial acoustic guitar track last summer in the boathouse, using a condenser and also the stero mic on my video camera. While fighting off mosquitos. [more inside]
William's Face
All By Myself With You
Antisocially romantic. [more inside]
The Most Wonderful Day of The Year (Misfit Toys)
From the "Island of Misfit Toys" scene in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
What was wrong with the doll? [more inside]
The Christian Life
Cover of a Byrds cover of an old Louvin Brothers song. [more inside]
Stain
It's so hard to see through the filth and the grime.
Meanest Words
I can't stand it when a couple will fight with, swear at, humiliate or completely demean each other in front of a room of people. It happens a lot. [more inside]
Heroin
In the style of Leonard Cohen. Just kidding.
For the Velvet Underground challenge thing. [more inside]
Oh Wow
Brazilian Infomercial fodder. [more inside]
Not Nice
Another from the waste-bin of demos that never went anywhere.
Gauging from the effects unit, I'd say 1996; at least pre-1997.
Folsomlujah
Cohen, prison style. [more inside]
You Still Look Like You Did Before
I don't know what this is; kind of a pseudo-jugband, neo-bluegrass-ish, Hee-Haw with a whiney singer. [more inside]
Days Are Long
For May's "remake your first song" challenge. [more inside]
Road Organ
I Said It All
For the April "write a song with only two chords" Music Challenge.
Brought to you by the chords E and A. [more inside]
Same Dark Road
It's the same, dark road. The same, dark room.
Better Soon
At least I hope it will be. [more inside]
if only you had waited
Weird demo. Probably 10 years old. Releasing it to the ether; good riddance.
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Ya. Kind of a Norman Bates take on it.
Little Red Corvette
Country Death Song
Watching the Detectives
Cover. As requested by Mr. cortex.
This Boy
Cover. Obviously. [more inside]
Stevie
Brother
Sort of a pathological sibling rivalry. Not autobiographical.
Underwater
Water as escapism.
Never Gonna Stop
I was in a band called gleaner in the late 90's and we recorded four songs at a "real" studio.
This was an attempt to make a (power)poppy, happy thing about a stalker-y kind of person.
This is the second of the two songs from this session that were mine. The first is here. [more inside]
Theme From Squidboner
For this month's challenge, in the "Spy Music" category. [more inside]
