Driving all over the fucking road.
Left right left right doesn't really matter.
In n out of lanes in my mitsubishi colt

Something for RPM. This piece of filler features a transaction between myself and my 2 year old daughter at her pretend shop. I was the 'custer', she was the 'shoppy keeper', and I was encouraged to ask her 'howzamuchit?'
Alex, are you familiar with the Dreamies album? This piece of yours seems as if it could have been inspired by that album... (Either way, kudos! This is favorite among favorites!) Your entire album this year is excellent!! Love the lo-fi inspiration!

its not about whether I can so much as whether I should.
but I do! yeah I will.. strangle that cat anyhoo

More lo-fi noodlings for RPM. Featuring 2 year old daughter let loose on a box of instruments, and then messed with in goldwave. Will be a (poorly) hidden track on RPM album.. when there are actual songs on it.

if my mind goes
before I go
do me a favour
help me on my way?
yes if my mind dies
before I die
dont sit watching me talking nonsense
take that old fool out the game.
if my ability to hold a pee should
go astray
and im not a 100 percent…
ill make you happy
ill make you pleased
you stayed around
to find out who id be
and ill make you sure
you were right to hold on
when the whole world let go
and denied it knew me.
hey! nobodys saying
itll be all plain sailin
cos nothing…
Mother your an a hole
I know cos father said so
when you left for bingo
he said you was a pain in the ass
Father you're a dick head
I know cos uncle mick said
when mum and him were in bed
they said you was a total douche
ah but its…

I love that you just went and did an album in 28 days for the joy of it...or because it seemed impossible with your time constraints. I would love to hear some of these (frankly) amazing songs re-done outside the parameters of the challenge. Sparks of genius here, Alex Moody.

RIP Tea Cozy Pete;
I was always the
one spilling out the pub drunk
early doors so me and he could speak
I knew his name he knew mine
id watch his smiling eyes shine
philosophising in the street
memory failed to remind me. strange. oh…
I am finding the lo-fi feel hard because I've been spoilt in the past with your awesome production...but you can't fault this song-writing! Brilliant, Alex.

another home recording using a Zoom MRS-1044 and 3 mics on the amps and lizzie. the geeky stuff, fender strat with the David Gilmour EMG setup through and Ampeg reverberocket amp. Sam used his boogie amp with his Ibanez.
So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...
"Driftwood"
Coming down…
dedicated to a pretty girl I know... :P
also note there is a meager attempt at video for this song!
Lyrics:
======
smile for me, pretty girl
smile for me, please
i'd do anything you want
to get you to acknowledge me
but i breathe…
Year: 2010
Album:
Strange Danger
Artist's description:
Frank wrote the lyrics, sang, played bass and drums. Chris wrote the guitar and flute (sample) and mastered the affair.

great sentiment.. i feel this when i escape to the park in Autumn - brilliantly articulated. love the vocal delivery too. reminds me of something but cant think what.. eno? a bit? good stuff anyhoot :)
Reg is willing to do anything to cure himself of his addiction to alcohol and when he hears that they are restarting the experiments with LSD to help cure alcoholism he has to find out more. Through internet research Reg finds out that the experiments…
no guilt clean slate no guilt
clean slate no guilt clean slate
raw deal dealt by me today
goin to church it will be okay
say a prayer in a quiet voice
drink some coffee and rejoice clean slate
no guilt clean slate no guilt
clean slate…
Some may say that given time, every one messes up and thinks of no one else,
Sins their sin, their selfish acts.
But you I would have sworn were different, a faithful heart.
Not without fault, but I never thought you would cut me like that.

Hello stranger.
I've been waiting with a compliment for you,
In case it's something that you don't already know.
Hello stranger.
There is always something left unsaid.
But just ask me and i'll tell you, though I don't even know your name.
We…
It's all just a blur (since the time I last saw you)
Eat, sleep, and dream, but I can't feel.
I live in the past so that I won't forget a single thing.
I wonder again if you ever miss me?
I'd give anything, but that's so cliche.
You live in my…
I'll get over this,
There's no need to talk about it.
As soon as you are gone I'll start to make myself forget.
Just go..
There's really nothing left, you don't have to stay here (at all)
I misunderstood your intentions here.
There's still time…
yeah fair play.. hooked from a couple of seconds in. love the lyrics, and the effect on the vocals at the start. and then.. well, explodes. incredible quality.. especially in three weeks! cf my tripe for what us mere mortals manage!!

This is a guitar piece in classical style in 17 notes per octave using the 17 version of the phyrgian mode. In normal 12 equal tuning phyrgian mode starts on…
i thoroughly enjoyed this. jus read the description n understood as far as.. this is a guitar piece! some people really know their shit! tis a good thing
I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.
Man that's awesome norm!!! Only just getting round to hearing it but love what you did here. Cant stop physically moving me 'ed to it (which is a shame in a way cos i have a hang over!). Its a great sound.. honoured!

It matters! Love your entire album, Alex! Thank you!
Alex, are you familiar with the Dreamies album? This piece of yours seems as if it could have been inspired by that album... (Either way, kudos! This is favorite among favorites!) Your entire album this year is excellent!! Love the lo-fi inspiration!
I say you CAN! And I'm glad you do! This is brilliant!
this song gets better and better every time i listen to it.
Worth the wait. Another classic! Moody fans are rejoicing! more more more
i got my two year olds voice on my Hefty Strongside RPM album last year. he loves to hear it. this is cool.
beautiful. i wouldnt mind having a go at this one.
this is such a bold collection of performance. blown away. your soul is louder than your awesome voice.
if this were fourty years ago they would be talking about John Lennons lost weekends with Alex Moody not Harry Nilsson...
blown away, brother!
this is like the deep cuts on a box set. the early demo that became a classic cut. you carry the torch of the great song writers from across the pond.

Oozing with charm!
Awesome chops! Wooooo!!!
She's got a lovely tone. Like her Daddy. ;)

Screw them. You can. And you should.
Oh, what wonderful lyrics - great song!
(Haha, sounds like you're sending up Gumbo Stu.)
Fabulous work, Alex. It matters! beep-beep.

relating.
i tried this treatment but it just made the sofa talk. and let me tell you, my sofa was less than encouraging.
just knew I'd love the lyrics!! Thanks for humouring the demanding child :)
:) bigging myself up here, but seriously.. what other song starts with someone saying i dont know 700 times!
love the bass in this. guitar plays off it nicely.
Yes.. brilliant.
lead to this via the cover. brilliant.
like the scratchy scratchy guitar in this. gives it a sort of niggly vibe to it. lends an awkwardness to it. s'good touch. works.
hope its not a bad thing to compare to lost prophets but does remins me of them at times.. which aughtra b a good thing right?
