A little white house, just off the highway, ghost of a black cat scratchin’ at the door. Old dry well out in the backyard, we just can’t use it anymore. There are some secrets here. Oh, there’s secrets everywhere. I know nothin’ more or less…
Fourteen days till my ship sets sail, fourteen days of nonstop hail, punchin’ holes in everything I see. Fourteen days of howlin’ wind and rain, fourteen days full of doubt and pain, gnawin’ my guts till finally I’m free. I can’t stop, I can…
When the bombing ends and all that's left is sand and bones and charred remains, what will you think then? Will you call it a win? Or will you lay down and die with all the rest? Its not too late to stop, call this death march to a halt. I promise…

A solar flare is the ejaculation of energy from the north pole or the south pole of this super concentrated point which has turned itself into a black hole because it has so much energy that it’s sucking in everything around it at such an exponential…
All guitars by my good friend Chris Mitchell. I had a chance to record this while I was in Dallas this past Summer. This is a companion piece to my song Secrets from the "Of Sound Mind" album, my RPM 2009 entry.
This is my complete entry for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. The album is called Radio and it's a suite of seven songs tied together with the sound of a radio being tuned. It's done.
Song about idolising people. Mr Supercool is anyone we think deserves our idolatry - could be a him, or a her, or even oneself. Mr Supercool cares nothing for anyone. He has no love.
Anyway - glad to be back messing with music again after…
Although I do like your concept and your lyrics very much, I'm sure it will come as no surprise that my favorite part is the psychedelic guitar breakdown in the middle of the song.... Actually though there are quite a few things to like about this track: The synth string pad, the drums (I am so *weak* in this area, and really appreciate what you've done here!), not to mention the brief woodwind interlude (very tasty!) before the final chorus line and then more psychedelic guitar to the out. I've clicked the fave button, but afaik it's still busted.
Love the shifting sections of this piece.... Excellent guitar throughout, obviously --- but the bed tracks are all just excellently put together. Even a tantalizing vocal section at the very end. Well done, all around!!
I think this year marks my fourth crack at NaSoAlMo, National Solo Album Month. This song marks the first time in those four attempts that I've actually finished a song within the month of November.
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…
New song. Wrote the guitar part first, lyrics came later. This is one of the first songs I've done more than one track on in quite a while, and also one that isn't dark (unusual for me). Anyway, enjoy!
unfinished track for a three part composition.
If you live in the Fort Worth, TX area and would like to perform this live, send me an email. I'm finishing up part 2 and will start on Part 3 soon. I would like to put together a large ensemble…
Yeah, I know, it's early. But the Banjo Hangout is having a contest for banjo renditions of this tune, and I decided to toss my hat in the ring, so to speak. Might win the 6-string banjo first prize, which I can't imagine having any use for, or…
Molensteen.
Ik zie een molensteen versleten na z’n lange reis.
Door onkruid overwoekerd, traag verslonden door de tijd.
Bij een stenen muur of wat daar nog van over is.
Vertoont het treurige feit van alles dat ooit was word uitgewist…

Ouch! My poor brittle heart! Such tender vox against an almost chiming bed of sweet music. Magical. Welcome back, Cave Street!
If I put aside Wake Up, My Skin, Blue, Nothin' to Lose, Do, and Funeral Chant, this is my favorite Cave Street Tune.
Hey, Mark - you got rhythm. Lovely track, Michael.
I really like this, Michael, vox, clapping, the lot.
Wonderful vocal! w;-)
Really comes alive with earphones.
Dreamlike! Nice warm vocal. I love the family sounds.
I wonder if the next to last song in this album had something to do with this song? hehe. Pretty trippy.

This is good stuff, the kind of song that sort of sucks you in and envelops you in it's own little sphere of sound. Excellent collab, gents!
Well it's an excellent song, RJ. Awesome guitar is a bonus!!
beautiful track, k
Great track, Nick!
Nice one! I liked the words a lot. Hope we can do some recording soon. - Michael
very meditative. looking forward to the rest.
This sounds really great! Very nice recording. Good luck on second place, but this might be too good!
Beautiful!
Epic stuff man, really like the drums on the section that starts about 2 minutes in.
Wow that guitar is LOUD and NASTY. Kick out the jams, Reggie!
Intense!!
It sounds like you are in tune with your instrument to me! ~:^)~
I haven't seen the commercials, but I love this track!
