Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
A new one...
I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).
But seeing as the last one took over 8 months, I think I'm already ahead for…

This is really good stuff. Songwriting firmly placed in late 70's art rock/pop, which is a very good place to be, if you ask me. Contemporary, skilled production makes for a tasty sound palette and a very enjoyable listening experience. Bravo!
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…

I dig the classic flavor of this one. Some choice bass runs. Groovy lyrics. Great vocal delivery. Superb mix-down skills. Thanks for checking out "niaR" on my Gene Eric Mann profile. Hear it as "Rain" on my Nightmoth profile. Rock on!
Pop-rock tale about a character in a novel that I fancied. Recorded in 2009 on a Boss MBR.

Theres a crazy girl
Looks about my age

Waiting for the story to unfold…
I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…

A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

This is an April song. It's bad enough that I think it might be completely ripped off of a 2013 RPM song, but the mix turned into a sloppy mess. I might remix it, but then again I might just give up. The lyrics are about our failed attempt…
This song marks two milestones in my silly little music recording existence. First it is the very first time I recorded a song that used electric guitars that only used a Fender guitar. When I bought the Strat last weekend this was the only…
My cover / tribute to the Led Zeppelin masterpiece.
It's a song I turned to in the early days of teaching myself to play guitar 30 years ago and I've always been a bit obsessed by it.
Done for the songcrafters.org Zepfest.
Enjoy
I was listening to the two Jack Bruce/Robin Trower records from 1981. I was sort of digging the whole aging-white-guys-making-a-show-of-being-funky vibe and decided to steal it. The result is this cheese ball of a 12-bar.
In GarageBand…
A quick and simple improvisational acoustic tune recorded on my iPhone with Garage Band. Originally meant only as an audio test of my new Apogee One interface, I thought it was catchy enough to post. I called it "Spring" only because I couldn…
This one dates back to 1992 or 93 or so. It falls in the wasted years between the end of the band I started playing with in high school and the band I started playing in after leaving college. It was played by a bunch of short lived bands in…
One of the few songs on my March Music list that entirely came from March, at least in terms of the music. The lyrics were written in May, but who's counting.
The guitar solos were played on my new Strat. It feels so weird.
The title comes…
Woof!
This is the first thing I've listened to on my new laptop - sounds like I'm listening on one of those little transistor radios in the early 70s!! (Except in stereo)
Think I needs me headphones...
Rocking good stuff :)
Still trying to get the hang of playing Bass ...i can't seem to put it down now.....anyway this is tonights effort....
JUST LET IT FLOW
one day i’m up
another i’m down
most days i’m just floating around
my head don’t know what my body wants…
so begins my love,
you'll feel my heart
you will know this time,
this turn is mine
i love you, you know i do
what happens now it's always true
so now this time,
you will see that my love won't die
so begins our life,
will never…

Really like this mate. Great lyrics
Reminds me a bit of classic rock Bowie. Really cool!

Or maybe you won't! (Sell the Gibsons)
Like it. You know you're gonna sell your Gibsons, don't you?... hehe
I was doubtful about how this would work (I've been a bit obsessed by it too) - now I'm sorry for doubting you!! NICE version. Love the piano outro.
Ha Ha Ha!! Ya crazy buggers Wonderful version
Headphones on... RAWK!! Hey! I didn't fave it first time...
Works for me! (aging-white-guy)
Aw... magnificent vibe to this. LIKE!
A tele and a strat - all you need! Love the sounds. Nice playing too.
Oooh! Like it.
Worth every second
Nice one. It's quite amusing, I'm a life-long strat user, but I'm playing an ES 335 and an SG most of the time now!
Like it. The new strat might feel weird, but it sounds like it knows what it's doing!
Does the business :)
Oh yeah. I think my laptop's speakers have been christened now!

:) YEAH Love it
Don't know the original, but I loved this.
Tasty track. Like it.
Nice one. There's something very satisfying about playing a bass, isn't there?
Liking what you've posted so far. Looking forward to hearing more.
