Chopping up lamb for Moroccan deliciousness right now. Pondering your meat on meat reference. Thanks for that. ;-) Especially like this after the two minute mark. Kind of off-your-face cool.
[Thanks to Helen and Colin for coming to my aid with the warblings! :) ]
When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…

this got me within the first 30 seconds. the vocals are truly amazing. I definitely hear some neil young.
thanks also for the nice comment on my stuff. and no, I've never heard of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, but I checked them out on youtube and liked them. thank for the tip.
I found this while doing some clearing out. Its the only demo me and a friend Ben Price recorded when we were briefly looking to form a band in about 2005/2006. Listening back to it, strained vocals aside I kinda liked it so thought I should give…
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
Musta been December cause the air mighty cold
A family was moving in, further down the road
They were not the colour of the others in the street
All the kids were laughing at the trainers on their feet
I was only young and so I guess I laughed…
It's official, Tess and Beth love it. Aready got the melody sussed. Played it to T ess over the phone - totally up for it. Oh, I love bluesy
stuff. Thanks Alex xx

really like the mix of the raw chug and the backing vocal woo type bits on this one. Tone of your vocal is an asset too, and you can really hear it on this one. A very natural advantage that! Like the more speaky part especially.
this is a song that came from the pain of dealing with idiots that just dont get it on a daily basis. newest mix tries to deal with vocal vs instruments imbalance.
theres alot of idiots out there to write about! I often feel lucky to have music to vent or else I dont know where I'd be.
Really catchy melody here. Think that ones gonna still be with me come tea time
My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…
One more to go and I'm slapping them together.
This is 3 layered drum loops. Some dupes and some play along.
I've managed to grow a huge beard this RPM.
I think I'm starting to look like Gandolf. :)
The same name calls me father
Reject the pharaohs promise
Hit one and feign the other
Another pyramid to build
The sky rejects the other
Full frontal luminescent
Hit twice but feeling nothing
Another suicide dispenser
Feel smaller shame the pathetic…
RPM 2011
Seasons start to change without much worry
Ordinary days no reason to remain
The clouds will force the rain realize its glory
Nothing keeps us sane better start to hurry
Slow monkey cabin fever
Free clinic dirty needle
They’ve gone…
RPM 2011
Wait for the room to focus
Feeling around for closure
The whiteness of my skin
The pale reflecting eyes
The beaty of total darkness
Move to the door and open
Room after room of sorrow
Breathing through your mouth
Flooding from your eyes…
Final version
Guitar, mandolin and voice.
this doesn't fit with my rpm project AT ALL so i may not use it but i like the way it came out. I recorded the music for Bethan Mathis' RPM project but she didn't have time to use it (her album is…
EDIT final version now posted and the page turning is gone but i left this intro as is in case anyone is reading the comments. Does anyone read the comments? or the intro?
i turn a page somewhere in the middle of all this - you'd think i would…
nice feel to that. lovely guitar.. really dreamy, atmospheric.. sent me somewhere. somewhere cold, and windy. think it was the mountain on a winters day. was raining too. refreshing though so ta
Final version
Every so often when i'm thinking of something else a western song pops up as if there is a soundtrack to a movie running in the back of my head. I might have to gather em all up into a playlist some day.
track nine, or at least…

Third listen...faved. Possibly too sophisticated for the untrained pallet on the first two tries. :-)
Quite a diversion for you Alex, a very well played and interesting piece, nicely done. Love the eastern flavour, Yum yum!

I love the chords in the chorus in this.. dark, but brilliant. Especially good use of your vocal in the verse and the chorus is a real pay off. Sold.
