...some music.

I cant let a week go by without making up or recording a song.

Bwana

Yet another cover. This one is from Lindsey Buckingham’s first solo album.

Step to the Left

I feel like this election thing isn’t going well. Everyone is worn down by all this craziness into a kind of passivity or resignation. I mean, in 2020 people were riled up. This isn’t the same. Its attrition.

Also i think it was a mistake to run a woman. There are going to be a certain amount of people in America who just wont vote for a woman no matter what and with the margins so small, we cant afford to lose those votes.

Maybe I Think Too Much

This is a lovely song by Paul Simon that I have recorded a number of times. Its from the album that was meant to be a Simon and Garfunkel reunion. In the end Paul Simon erased Garfunkel’s voice from all the songs and put it out as another solo album.

We Come Apart

Here’s a nice sketch of a song I did in 30 minutes. If you can write and record a song in under an hour, it will usually turn out well — or at the very least, fresh.

This one will be on my next album.

We Didn’t Know we Knew

This one started out as the Day Tripper riff done on a steel drum. That was it. After it became something else, I modified the Beatles riff so as to be original so that I could include it here.

Tarzan and Batman

This is from a silly playground song we would sing as kids. One of many. However, I don’t intend to ever record the Popeye variations of the already very lewd Barnacle Bill the Sailor. Please don’t ask me to.

Aren’t You Going to miss me?

This is a silly, little ditty I produced quite some years ago. When I went to add a guitar to it, I realised that I hadn’t figured out the chords, which is usually the first thing.

Dropout Boogie

Just recorded this for fun in one sitting. Its a cover of a song from everyone’s favourite paranoid schizophrenic, Captain Beefheart. This is from his first album “Safe as Milk” from way back in 1967. It was in my dad’s collection.
