I really debated uploading this one. It's kind of weak production wise, but it was part of the album. You may love it, hate it, but I decided to keep everything intact. Warts and all...
We all know someone like this. Sometimes I'm like this. Anyway, recorded using my Epiphone semi-hollowbody. I love the gtr sound on this one. Again, it's older, so the sonic quality isn't anywhere near what I do now.
Yes, the guitar does sound great on this track.
It takes me back to when my late husband had an Epiphone semi acoustic, I always preferred it to the others.
Well, this is why I don't play drums. It's the best Moon I could pull off. I keep hammering the gtr riff over and over, but it's because it was so much fun to play. Its structure is a little too meandering in hindsight, but oh well. For whatever…
So, I get this e-mail from a friend who had gone to NYC for a conference. At this conference she meets the love of her life, and the weekend turns into a steamy one spent locked in a hotel room. Slight problem...she was already married. She didn…
Turn this one up REALLY FREAKING LOUD!
Written, recorded and polished off in about 45 minutes or so. Clearly my British influence shines forth in this one, right down to the SG through a Vox amp tones and backward riffs here and there. (and…
Well, this one is b***s to the wall rock and roll, gfox style. ;P
I just wanted to do this basic loud chunka-chunka riff with the thumping kick-drum. However, the refrain (this song has no chorus) was something that I really liked singing. For…
This was supposed to be keyboard only, then the gtr part came and just kind of took it over. You should hear the original demo, it is very, very different. I happen to really like this song though, and for some reason love my little keys solo…

This song is one that got left on the cutting room floor back in early 2005. It's fun to play, but the drums are almost too mechanical (they're real) for my taste. I thought I would finally let it out of the attic, even though it doesn't have…

Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…

This song has a tale similar to Left Me Wondering. This was made up on the mic, both gtr and vox. Unlike Left Me Wondering however, I went back and overdubbed some backing harmonies and I also did a little extra GTR on it too.
What's fun about…
Thanks man...you've got some awesome songs yourself...like this one...great tune...kinda "Kinks"-y....I love the vocal harmonies on your stuff...
cheers,

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well...
It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink.

A long one, something of a centrepiece for the record. Open tuning and ebow fun.

Fancied trying some fast piano. This one sounds like the single to me.
This is the first piece that I recorded - just after midnite on Feb. 1st. with Anne Cozean in mind as vocalist. Anne and I have worked together before and she delivered a great performance across two tracks. I was thinking Portishead going in…
eyes all around
thought surveillance, the fighting on the ground

billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold

None of us knows where we'll be tomorrow,
Let alone 2 weeks from this date.
Will I still be in this place?

And if I'm still living here.

Great liquid groove; great change-ups and harmonies. Smooth...and amazing harmonies...
This is awesome. I love the chorus, especially the backing vox. Brilliant S-dude!
Great song, love the harmonies.
I was about to say this was nice and delicate, and then I glanced at the title again. Great minds I suppose? Wonderful playing.
Great sound on that acoustic. It's fantastic. Cool chord prog and cool song all around. Nice...
Nice guitar work, Rog. Cool song.
Great chorus...good movement on this.
So this is how you kick ***. Nice track, great tones here. Right in the pocket...
Such a great song, such great playing. The dynamics are brilliant.
Nice moody piece. Very cool.
Great song, great tones and great arrangements. Excellent hook, nice work!
This is a very tasty piece of guitar work.
This has a great tone and feel to it. Excellent playing, excellent playing.
Very cool.
Great melody! I like the backing synth tracks as well coupled with the crunching gtr.
Great instrumentation and use of space on this song. The vox is great.
Awesome.
Great song, great performance. Nice work.
Better than the original. I speak with authority here. ;)
Damn Alex, is there anything you don't play? This is great.
