this is the mix so far, pending a new vocal to replace the guide and a 12-string part. maybe a bit of piano? lyrics from the muted vocal are about seeing the ex you upended your life to help out in the arms of another. cheery! tik-tok…

i originally wrote this in 1987 after buying my first 4-track, but this version was recorded in early 2009. 2 tracks of acoustic guitar and one vocal track. Mark Cook from Herd Of Instinct did some button-pushing for me.

thick and hairy track stem transfer from a 16 year old multitrack tape. i plan on doing a few overdubs and a few brutal edits in the name of a new arrangement. i need more rock in my life. yes, there will be vocals.

Recorded in 2005. Joe Silence - guitar and vocal A very quickly recorded cover of the Neil Finn tune...I think it took 2 hours from setting up the first mic to rendering the mix?

Recorded in 2005. The keyboard sound in the second half is a backwards electric piano processed through a triggered filter (kind of like a Mutron III). Muted the vocals cos I'm not too pleased with the lyrics or performance.
