93 Seconds in a Time Machine

Third of seven left overs from April 2007. This one was sort of a throw away from the beginning. It resulted in me not being able to come up with anything clever, so I just threw... (more)

What I'm About (rewrite of Hidden)

The first version of this is called Hidden and I uploaded it here a few months ago. It was supposed to be part of NaSoAlMo back in November, but that project never got off the ground... (more)

Mediocre Savior (redux)

Another one that didn't really have a home. I think it started out as a songfight idea from back in 2008 or so. Not sure I like this recording as much as the old one.

Should Have Been Mine (redux)

March 1, 2012. RPM is over... Now what? How about we go back in time and dig up all of the songs that have been laying around unfinished, unrecorded, or poorly recorded and finish... (more)

The End of the Story

The 15th and final song written for RPM and FAWM. Fittingly the lyric is about the end of the process... even though there was still a ton left to do when I came up with it. I guess I was feeling optimistic, which is seriously unusual for me.

Time Bomb

You may be shocked to learn that I own a Rickenbacker 360 and I love R.E.M.

Intro/verses: G-C-Am7-Cmaj7
Chorus: Em-G-C-D Bridge: Fmaj7-C/G-Em

What if you found you had

Newlyweds In Berlin

Deep

Tess - synth, arrangement, vocals
Mr Sandbags - beats and reichatron samples

This is the new, extended version that I always wanted to do...with a last verse and everything.

F@#*ing Yankees

A song of love, loss, and unrelenting hatred for those pin-striped S.O.B.'s.

WARNING: You might hear an occasional F-bomb.

Chinatown

With the wonderful Don Blackburn (all music/musical arrangement).

Cornucopia (future safe mix)

Music by the phenomenal Soundsmith Kamachi (music). Bethan Mathis sings the high harmony with me. She also helped me work out what it should be. Thanks, Ma!

This is my take on the... (more)

Ready for It

Song three of 15 for this year's RPM and FAWM. I wanted to put in something with just an acoustic guitar and a vocal this time. Actually, I have wanted to do it every year, but I get caught up in... (more)

RPM Blues

The first song completed for the RPM Challenge. I went to the 12-bar way to early this year. One down, at least nine to go.

Quiet Lazy Song

Usually I like songs less when they are finished. This one I think I like more. I had planned on dropping this one but now I'm not sure.
