An odd tune - took time to grow on me but I like it. Still a little sick, hence the froglike vocals and negligent production.
A song about the Rock of Gibraltar
All done on the Boss Micro BR
Long Goodbyes
You say your life is disgusting…
The vodka, ahhh. One of 3 that I recorded to a dimming flashlight during a power outage.
One take into the Micro BR hole with some harmony and noodle overdubs.
Vodka
I want the vodka
'Cause I know it's gonna make me play better…

Where did this one come from? Found out behind the barn. Thats great harmonies. Hypnotic, dense, spook bro, real spook. This is very deadly Mark. Wild stuff.

Another one rebuilt after my freak SD card initialization fiasco. The excellent solo work was done by my buddy Gnasty - I love it!
This is the second part of a two part song. I'll get the other part up next hopefully.

"I'll know it when I see it"
Is what she finally said
"If there was some other way
I'd do that instead"
And blindly without question
I followed down that trail
That led into the hidden night
Beyond the parted veil

This song…
Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!
We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)
Washburn bass
voice with effects
drum loops sliced and diced
This is a pop dance tune about a woman seeking to find a good man to spend the rest of her life with, but she doesn't want a "wannabe", but she wants a real man with real love.
I'm not sure if I'll keep the song title. Anyway, this song is more about feeling I guess. At times the song feels happy, then creepy, then sad or dissonant. How does this song make you feel?! Thanks for listening!
Hey, bro - Good to hear from you! Yeah, the rhythm git was a little hot because I always plug it in direct - All I have to record with for electric songs is pretty much an old Epi SG and a Boss Micro BR. Gnasty's lead was mic'ed with an SM57.
Anyway, catch you on the flip!
Well, I realized while listening to so many other great rough cuts and demos (and how much I enjoyed listening to them), that it was about time I contributed to the process. Rather than posting only completed songs, I decided to put up the rough…
Comments on launched's stuff
creative and tech great mix...and ah yes, that solo...Download
I understand better now why you were a fan of "do".
What a great track Mark...epic stuff here my mang! Chilling...
"It's driving me bad, it's driving me..." One of my favorite Beatles as well.... This is a brilliant cover...tight skills bro!
Still workin with the track. I had to use my wife's ear tonight while mixing it. She's a great person for a second opinion. Sometime's i get to attached to it and can't hear the levels right. Should have something up tomorrow.
Actually I slipped in some Peter and the Wolf, because yes that can happen!! Thanks!
yes! i must of listen to this song on my ipod like 25 time driving last night. awesome stuff launched!
I dig it! It sounds like the year you spent making it was well worth it :)
FUCK, man. You should be playing BIG shows. You've got the skills. This has a hint of that Ozziness to it.
ever considered covering Dig A Pony? I can't imagine how good that would sound coming from you Mark.
yeah!
I remember the circumstances when you made this one. I love all yer songs Mark. Where does Baby Green Ernie fit into all of this?
Whoaaaaaaaaaa, what a solo, Gnasty solo, just gnasty

I like the Mark Lanegan style vox.
This is brilliant - I love the blend between your awesome guitar and Normy's fine cabinetry masterpiece!
Yes - I love it.
Oh, yeah! I dig it.
Deeelish - Very nice! Pro and radio worthy.
Love your stuff. Excellent songwriting.
Only a minute into it and already predetermined to be completely badass!!! Killer tune!
I love crazy improv fridays...
To bits, bro!
This is a great Fri afternoon jingle. Makes me want to drink a boatload of beer!
I'm really diggin' this album, bro!
Yes, NH is taking AT by storm! Very brisk and edgy one, bro! Got the blood pumping!

This sounds like it could be a lost song from "The Cooler" soundtrack. I dig it!
Not sure how I missed this - Very nice! Great harmonica and piano, and I like the guitar effect. It's similar to the "Grinder" patch on my Micro BR.
Yes, this is going to be a good one. Ha, B what? I just retune strings for that kind of thing!
Good stuff - Now I wish I had not listened to this first. I'll have to catch the album in its entirety asap!
Very swanky, bro - Love the theme too!
Always liked this one.
Diggin' through the archives!
