First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

lol - That's the "Rory" face, Greg... didn't realise how much it came out until I saw this video.
I have a camera now, and I'm currently struggling with how to control my face...
During the course of a song, I seem to wander the entire range of emotions - from intensely "bored" (the "I wonder what the next chord is?" face) to an "utterly bluddy crazy-man coming to get you" look...
Was I really that scary when I was doing gigs?!?!?

I should be working . . . but . . . I just had to take another pass through your video again.
Something about that last chord and the expression on your face.
Now, off to work!

coool guitar! nicely-pitched vox. humour, I like. nice progression. poignant and heartfelt. stopping listening before the end, as I don't want to cry at it. G:) thank you.

That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…

A blues noodle that got out of Hand just before the midnight curfew...........trying my hand at a bit of keyboard percussion and the voice through a guitar effect........well you have to try don't you?
I've been messing about with my virtual keyboard this week, in preparation of an amazing collaboration I'll be working on soon :)
Beat and sax are from Mixcraft.
Enjoy! xox
I was in a rush when I first heard this...
But with a couple of listens this time... woo! Don't know the original at all, but this fits you like a glove. Fabulous vocal madam, absolutely fabulous...
Wish I could fave it again.
And keep messing... the virtual Jim and Don are still struggling to agree with each other at the moment lol
music by chunk
words and vox by oldrottenhead
Take what you want
But keep your hands off my medication
I can get by without you
But not without them
And don’t you dare
Even think of taking my guitars
And don’t you care
Of the state you’ll leave…
An old recording from 1997 done on a Tascam 4 track. Converted to digital from casette so the recording is warbly in spots.
I am currently working on some new songs so I decided to throw so oldies but baddies out there.
Cry (if you want to) – Steve Harris 990211
Run into these open arms my love, sad you’re breaking
But on the outside you’re so tough
You’re not fooling me, enough’s enough
Cry if you want to, cry…..
I’ll be here till someone comes…

Rockin stuff. Fab harmonies. And that kick-arse bass. Woof! Love it :)
So where's the geetars??! lol This is superb - wonderful sparse, naked sound.
Woo. There's a lot of big geetar sounds around this evening :) Like it.
Oh this one is just magnificent. Huge live sound...
Yeah...
Woof - loved it when the bottom end kicked in
Leave the milk out of mine... This does the job, right on the money.
Oooo, I say... Nice. I reckons you needs to turn the heavy breathing up a bit though... I had to listen REALLY hard lol
Nice version. Didn't realise David Bowie had covered it!!
This is very cool. Didn't like the idea at first, but it dragged me in. Wonderfully put together.
Yeah, cool sound, fine song. Never thought I'd hear Carshalton mentioned in a song!
Good to hear a new one :) Crazy guitar tuning! Makes good sounds though.
Run out of words to say on your songs... love it :)
Oooo yeah. Nice.

Oh yeah, like this one.
Oh yeah, tasty, even with the warbles.
Nice one
Enjoyed as instructed! :) Fab.
Like it - I was out in the kitchen, and it started up, I rushed back in to see who was... Rockin stuff
