Recently, my wife and I discovered the TV show Portlandia, and it has become our Saturday morning ritual to watch the latest episode with our coffee. Anyways, I kind of got the theme song (http://www.ifc.com/fix/2011/02/portlandia-whats-that…
This evolved out of an exercise in a workbook I just got on music composition. The original task was to write a melody in the Dorian mode about water...
This track is actually 99.583333% M.T.C. But, I needed an easy project for July, since I didn't have a lot of time last month. He had published it as a "B-Side" called "Quarter of a 60th Spanish." For fun, I just added a few subtle twists. Probably…
Gather 'round the bonfire for some sh*t-kicking New England bluegrass, boys and girls! Feel free to sing along!
Massachusetts
Born so near the ocean I can taste it
Summer's so damn short you don't dare to waste it
I've seen the Northern…
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.
I FOUND LOVE
You know I love you more than I
Ever thought one simple man could
You know I need you more than I
Ever…
So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.

"Driftwood"

A song about meeting up with each other this year for some music and booze next week.
Lyrics-
i need some space
i need some time
just to rehearse
for the viking dance
what should i wear
what should i bring
what will we sing…

El vuelo del condor, (the flight of the condor) It's a song i wrote when i was living at Patagonia, i could pass hours watching them flying.
Music: Diego Cardenas (somno project)
Featuring Norm Harris on Percussion!
i hope you like it...
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...

Comments on Djörk's stuff
Sorry it took me 11 to check this out (no internet connection)...sounds good!
Groovin on this one tonight
This and djorklandia sound like movie music to me. Grand landscapes and epic travel shots.
Nice -- this sounds fantastic through headphones. I like how the bass is clearly separated out from the higher instruments.
:)
