New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…

Found this little chappie while I was preparing my latest original for loading.
It was a quick demo recorded on my Boss Micro BR sometime in October or so last year (2011) while I was working on Shine.
It was a sort of "blow the cobwebs out…

Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice.
And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.

This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…
Holy shit....another epic cut! What you couldnt extend it another 4 seconds to make it a full 6min? This is excellent work , Quadrophenia meets the boys of Lizzy. Your a marauder!
Rock instrumental. Recorded Christmas 2008.
I'd struggled with a DAW. I'd stopped recording. And then my lovely wife got me a Boss MBR for Christmas. I thought this little thing the size of a fag-packet would be a nice "scratch-pad" songwriting…
A cover of Larry Wallis's fine ditty (it's always been one of my favourite Dr Feelgood songs).
This was my second recording with my Boss MBR, recorded early 2009. It confirmed for me that I was a "standalone recorder" kind of guy, and there was…
I missed this one....Sweet playin Andrew. I love the sound of those double tracked rythym gtr....and the verb on the lead is perfect as well as tge playing.
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…

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.

**Now It's Done - A A J Russe**
I said it…
A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010.
It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...
This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…

Big time "like". Such an expanse of history/experience/pathos captured in so few words.
I dealt with this on a much smaller scale in a song I called THE INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION.

Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

Song by Nick Plagakis
Lyrics:
I don’t care for love and happiness
I got myself a yacht and a mansion
I don’t believe in God and religion
I got myself sixty four billion
Greed, greed, greed is what I need
Greed, greed, greed is what…
This is a piece inspired by J.D. Salinger's short story.
My friend Stasya's doing the vocal parts.

Thought I'd have a go at a soul number. FDR did some lead but the song was left all alone on my comp until today when I landed on it's lyrics while driving home. Thought I'd have a plumb at auditioning for the 3rd Reg, lol.
This is a request from Gene Eric Mann
one of mine and Andy's older ones...we envisioned this a a soundtrack for a horror movie....Andy thought of the story because his son likes to go into the woods near his house and brng back sticks!!

OK, so I decided to release my covers here too since that seems to be commonplace and I have a bunch of arrangement material. Only my covers are of video game music. This piece covers a few tracks from one of my favorite SNES games, Secret of…

In the dark of night
everything can sometimes look bizarre
somebody somewhere is in trouble
somebody is having thoughts…
Geas sent me this great backer over ..... Elvis had been lounging around the cellar for days bored but this one sparked his interest and he thought he'd have a shot at this one....i got Les out to try the solo...cheers Geas

A tune for Halloween.
I wanted to do something creepy. It works.
All Alone
I turn your knob
and throw Spot a bone
I palm your panties
when your not home
I turn the lights off
and cut your phone
I feel your fears
when you all…
Aww, this is mighty fine.
You're tempting me away from the multi-track things I'm stuck on at the moment... mebbe I should try some 1 guitar 1 voice stuff again.
Two walkie talkies
Pull over the cops
Paid our monthly fees
Then the money stops
Tiny makeshift farm
Cabbage, turnip greens
Germans built this barn
Fit for royalty
Tumble in the weeds
Hummingbirds and frogs
Naked bumblebees
Multi-coloured…

I can never think of something "meaningful" to say about stuff I don't quite understand...
This kind of falls into that category
... I liked it quite a bit (will that do?)
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
That is killer....love that gnarly bass line.
Always a pleasure listening to your music. Great arrangement on the background vocals. I like , I like , I like this song...he he
I think this is a masterpiece! You have captured the essence. My wife brings order to my chaos too, 36 years now.
Well played. After reading your notes I've decided to be nicer to you. Just kidding.
Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice. And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.
Cool tune.

Oh yeah....guitar players heaven right here...nicely done harmonies.
I missed this one....Sweet playin Andrew. I love the sound of those double tracked rythym gtr....and the verb on the lead is perfect as well as tge playing.
Damn....thats a gem.
Back for another listen to this beauty to end the night.....Thanks
Beautiful. A real love song right here.
Del Amitri.... I only know their one big hit, I presume, here in America. But you may have turned me onto their music a bit more.
Fantastic and inspired.

wow........ very well done.. pardon but i have to ask about the story,, is feels so old english in nature,,, what is the background?? most well done!!
This is incredibly fine. The mix is ridiculously great - haunting and fabulous!
Fun lil blues tune....has a Brian Setzer vibe without the rockabilly hooha.
Oh yes. Very nice ballad. Fave!
Great mix mate top track.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Like it!
Like it.
I can't play a 4 minute solo FORWARDS and make it sound coherent, let alone backwards!! You seem to have managed it :)
Do more vocals!
Good, extremely good :)
Oh yes... a masterpiece!
Enjoyed it :)
Cool version
Ha ha! Excellent guys
Oh yes, both rock AND roll.
This kinda crept up on me while I was listening to it in the background. Nice one.
Remix? Sounds even better than 1st listen the other day...

Lovin this EP Superb stuff.

Crumbs, I'm gonna have to listen to more of your stuff. I love how you fling tortured guitars at it and it just works.
Wooo! This works - like it. Some tasty guitar playing.
Yep. This is the business.
Oh my goodness! YES!
Oh yes. Very tasty.
