in a deck of 52
dressed to the 9's in red and black suits
4 kings to give the orders
all absent minded fathers
4 queens to run for cover
forever missing mothers
2 jokers, they're the brothers
one in monochrome, the other full colour…
I'm wishing someone can go for a ride
I'm wishing, I'm wishing you well
I've got something that's growing inside
I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm well
we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…
i set a wire in the woods
on a cold dark night when no one should be out
i was alone for a time
when the rabbits start to run the rings around my eyes
watching the shadows come to life
under cold, stark gaze of electric light
already hungry…
she's got a confident way of talking
knows where she's going when she walks
her fashion sense is never shocking
but it says "she's a boss"
it says "she's on top"
there is no question she can't answer
whether it's secular or trife
she…
I'm wishing someone can go for a ride
I'm wishing, I'm wishing you well
I've got something that's growing inside
I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm well
we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know

we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…
back where i was born
you learn pretty early on to leave well enough alone
just settle in and watch the world around you spin
there's nowhere else to go when you live in a snow globe
i knew this kid who couldn't wait to pack it in
and break…
don't ask me out to a movie
cause i'm not gonna go
don't tell me you're having a party
cause i already know
it's an 80's theme
i saw it in my stream
but i didn't accept or decline
i just said maybe
and maybe means no
maybe always means…
Way cool song, I like the changes and the set up for the solo break -- the drums are very 'in your face' but I'm sure I will appreciate the mix more when I play this on my home system instead of my work machine!

Pour vous Tess.
Is there a ghost in these hills?
Something to run from
I've given way to cheap thrills
Problems have just begun
I walk alone, sink like a stone in…

Black Widow don’t hesitate
Lock the door, draw the shades
In your web I have been caught
Not enough to fill you up
Leave me a skin
A shell of the man that I was…
Cover of the Blondie song, from the Plastic Letters album, vocal inspired by Sonic Youth's version of the Carpenters Superstar off of Juno soundtrack. This mixdown made on 7th March 2011, tracks recorded late Feb / early March.
Cover of the Joy Division classic, with a little drum'n'bass thrown into the mix
This version from September 2010
The youtube version is my original recording going back to 1997.
This is just another middle of the road pile of trot, this time about the amazing instant classics I write, but am so protective of that I daren't let any of you hear. No one will ever hear them. Sorry, but I'm afraid this shite will just have…

Taking taking all her sweat

Taking taking all her tears

Taking taking all her love
Taking taking all her life

Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.
incredible album gumbo..i'm going to download this to the ol'pod so i can listen to it in the car and at work...love it..reminds me of all my old folk/blues/bluegrass fav's like roscoe holcomb, bukka white, bill monroe, son house, dock boggs, blind willie mctell, tampa red, etc....great job
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…

Awesome tones and drum mix on this one. Crunchy.

Heart Full of LOVE.
This is great... really odd structure, simple but still haven't heard anything quite like it. Kinda Flaming Lips-y a bit, good stufff

This is an incredible RPM album - Well done!
Thx
