Made in the Image
Pretty straightforward 3 minute rock deal. If you're bored, try figuring out all the various things I borrowed from.
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]
Fuck You, Motherfucker (It's Christmas)
This is a quick cover of a friend's Christmas song that I always admired. JB (the writer) also contributed background vocals. This is NSFW but in a cheerful way I think.
2kT3N
Experimental Industrial Electro-House with a humble IDM Rock background. [more inside]
Turn Away
Poppy-ska song I wrote a couple years ago about being afraid to ask a girl out. (I did, eventually, but not in the song). [more inside]
Sobering Up (2009)
About three and a half years ago, I uploaded the eleventh song on Mefi Music. This autumn, I finally got my arse in a real studio, and did it properly. [more inside]
SMUT - Three Beers Left
Hangovers, with Dr. Seuss. [more inside]
I Think You're Alright (demo)
Demo a friend of mine (Ben Mullin!) and I put together.
Where Were You?
A cover of the song originally by the Mekons. [more inside]
in an aisle seat
Greasy rock song about falling asleep in passenger seats.
I could use some help with this.
Ok, this is my first attempt at recording with real drums. While I'm happy to finally post something featuring my insanely talented little brother, Mike, I'm sorry to say that the drum recording I started out with was awful and I'm not sure I've made it any better. If anyone has some insight as to what can be fixed and how, or some tips on cheap/lo-fi/hopelessly inept home drum recording, I'd love to hear them. [more inside]
Cats Takin' a Bath
A quick and stupid song (which is also a quick and stupid video) about cats taking a bath. [more inside]
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]
arrested development
(or: use of facebook interests page as failed communication device) [more inside]
Reincarnation Blues
What I would sound like if I were trying to sound like Bob Dylan - if Dylan were simultaneously "bringin' it" and "keepin' it real". [more inside]
Goodbye Horses (cover)
Here is a cover of Q Lazzarus's "Goodbye Horses" made famous I'm told in Silence of the Lambs and Clerks 2.
MandyDance
This is... baroque electronic dance rock? Well, perhaps. I think it will keep you entertained for 5 minutes, at any rate. There are a lot of things that go whoosh, a thing that goes ping, and rather a lot of things doing things near the end. [more inside]
Sleep in the temple
I recorded my first band. ( Nessie James & The Unknowns) Was my first paid studio gig time. This is the 2nd mix of sorts. Still more to add. [more inside]
Texas 89
A song I wrote about a trip to Texas with a girl in 1989. [more inside]
Halloween 97/98
Little ditty about young love, the joys of suburban Massachusetts in autumn, and the allure of all those wonderful things behind the counter at drugstores. [more inside]
Maytown
a song by my band, fm campers. don't really know where this falls, genre-wise... electronic rock noise-pop? [more inside]
Vanity (Tattletale)
Regarding living among humans.
I've finally completed recording, mixing and mastering the first song using my new Logic Express-based studio. How's the mix? Can you hear everything? Does it have too much bass?
Looking at Witches
I am re-posting this at the suggestion of another user, this time with lyrics included. This and others are available here.
Looking at Wiches
Some say they're having a pretty good time
And they're working on quitting this town.
Everything's working out fine for me.
You should see the way I get around.
Like a dry drunk
Down at the mall.
Looking at watches,
He feels something crawl
Out of a memory
He has of a girl.
Looking at witches,
Down at the mall.
And ain't we got friends that are long ago gone
and that's all that we want them to be?
Nothing but nothing
And nothing alone
Could make them mean nothing to me.
Sometimes in winter
you get to go home.
You get to dress darkly.
You hang up the phone.
You walk home from Pittsburgh
With one thing in mind.
Sometimes in winter,
you leave things behind.
And we miss when you sing
Those old country songs.
We get them for free around here,
but we don't keep them long.
Because we can't keep them long.
Thankful
Oh, those stupid things we do to get some or to find someone.
I can think back and laugh...some I'd like to forget.

An upbeat demo about plastic surgery from my next album. [more inside]

The opening tack of the SMUT album by the same name. [more inside]
Watership Downs
Another newie from my band Bring A Guillotine, electro-ish intro, then roccckk! Enjoy! [more inside]
Le Mescaline
A cautionary tale about buying drugs in Quebec. [more inside]
You're Not My Girlfriend No More
Perhaps you can guess from the title, but this is a breakup song.
Haunted Mansion (demo)
Synthy nerd rock about goth kids who find love at the happiest place on Earth. [more inside]
Forget Regret
song about drugs & cops &tc [more inside]
Open Your Eyes
Another Geese song, this one's new. Wrote it this afternoon. Sounds like I stumbled into a Pearl Jam/Stone Temple Pilots song, circa 1992.
Ah, well. Enjoy. [more inside]
Heartsease
A pastoral blues...or something like that. [more inside]
No Brainer Theme
I wanted to do some backwards guitar over a little Bill Laswellish bass and ended up with some sort of half-assed Barney Miller thing.
Shit happens, I guess.
Starless And Bible Black
For the sake of completeness, if "Medicine Man" had been an A-side this - a natural companion piece in mood and texture - would have been the flipside. Obviously on an impeccably cool label (Elektra, Sire, Stiff, Island pre-sell off). Well.....I can dream... [more inside]
Medicine Man (Alpaca Room mix)
Rendezvous
A wrinkled roue ruminates rudely.....
Special, exclusive, once-and-for-all, never-to-be-repeated (thankfully, some may say) vinyl-only MeFiMu magimix. Hope y'all like it. [more inside]
run to you (bryan adams cover)
No, seriously. Just for fun, I decided to do this cover song to test out some drum stuff. Thought I'd share this while I work on some new songs...
Once It Was The Colour Of Saying (Work In Progress)
This is incomplete and very current WIP from my glacial synth-based alter ego and is perhaps something of a companion piece to White Feather. I'd really appreciate opinions on (a) the pretty drastic transitions in the piece from the rhythmic to the quasi-orchestral and back again, (b) whether the lyric theme has any kind of cheddar whiff, and (c) whether it needs more "oomph" under the orchestral bits (actually difficult to pull off without destroying the mood - I've tried....). Any other comments welcome of course - but this is unfinished and well rough so....geeza break. [more inside]
School Dance (after school special star6 remix)
An instrumental song by my band Clark 8 remixed using Jason Forrest's star6 iPhone app. Rock meets breakcore and everybody gets glitched up. [more inside]
Dubai
Another cut from the Quick and Dirty submitted for some feedback, particularly in terms of the mix.
Workshy
An abstract and impressionistic take on the wonderful world of work. Or something like that. Whatever. Listening to it afresh from the distance of several years, I've no idea what the fuck I'm banging on about here. I was probably stoned out of my box at the time. Disgarceful behaviour for a doctor - tsk tsk. Another extract from the extensive but wholly disreputable Dundee Archive. NB: this product contains faint traces of jazz-lite.....
Madeleine
A new song called 'Madeleine' from my new band, features piano, strings and bouncy guitars! Wheeee. [more inside]
Locate the Pin
From the band that brought you "Bridges over the Thames" and "The world's most blown mind", The Old Whores Of San Pedro proudly present. Locate the pin, a song inspired by a fire extinguisher. [more inside]
Don't Go in the Garage
The first song from my new collection of supernaturally themed novelty garage rock by my multiply pierced and tattooed sailor puppet, Sailor Martin; the collection of songs will also, eventually, be called Don't Go in the Garage. [more inside]
When Harry Was Sally....
I can usually get a presentable mix without too much hassle, but this one beats the hell out of me. Sounds good in headphones, complete shit on monitors and even worse in the car. Advice? [more inside]
I’m waiting for the man (caterpillar mix #1)
Like Unto Pistols
A few of you wanted to know when my band Voodoo Economics's next album came out. Welp, it's out. It's called 'Nighttime Sabbaticals'. Here's a track from it. [more inside]
The World's Most Blown Mind
Another track from The Old Whores Of San Pedro. [more inside]
Bridges Over The Thames
This is my first contribution to MeFiMu, so go easy on me! [more inside]
Trippy Space Trip (through Drug Space) [rough mix]
Pretty much what it says on the tin. A prelim mix of a song about the high highs and low lows of huffing jenkem. [more inside]
