really like the mix of the raw chug and the backing vocal woo type bits on this one. Tone of your vocal is an asset too, and you can really hear it on this one. A very natural advantage that! Like the more speaky part especially.
this is a song that came from the pain of dealing with idiots that just dont get it on a daily basis. newest mix tries to deal with vocal vs instruments imbalance.
theres alot of idiots out there to write about! I often feel lucky to have music to vent or else I dont know where I'd be.
Really catchy melody here. Think that ones gonna still be with me come tea time
The 2nd in the UU auction series. The person who won the auction wanted a song about the fellowship, the place we met on Sunday and the community. So I wrote this little kind of sing-a-long folk song.
I wrote it for a friend of a friend. It was originally about a woman, but although I liked the music a lot, the words didn't quite satisfy me. On a whim, I changed a pronoun here and there, and the song became a story.
Middle age sux. You wake up and realize you're not the rebel novelty of your self image. You've grown cowardly, protective and conservative. What the hell happened?
Lyrics influenced by a conversation with a friend whose daughter was in a really bad way. Kind of set the mood for large parts of the challenge for me this year.

Ultra cool! Dusty, rustic spook. Vocals are amazing. And the guitars make me want to spark up! ...and that's exactly what I'm a gonna do.
A hint of the Doors on this one. Nice groove.
Nice touch with the answers. Actually, the Be my lover line is pretty hooky. Build on that.
A little New Orleans blues sounding. Good work!
This is great. The playing is restrained, and yet this is precisely what lends the song its power.
Nice musical tension here, coupled with the minimalist lyrical observations. Really suggestive, quite an effective piece. Well done!
Love the TVZ, bless yer heart.
likin that vocal great backing vocals too thumping guitar yeeah!!!
bloody brilliant
I love the chords in the chorus in this.. dark, but brilliant. Especially good use of your vocal in the verse and the chorus is a real pay off. Sold.
