I recorded this one to a dimming flashlight on the 25th after a windstorm took out my power. I couldn't see the lyrics anymore so I ad libbed and hummed the rest out. My recording device is battery operated, which is cool.
This predicament…
A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…
Finally getting to this song Mark. Are you teh man or what? This is really deadly. I find this to be a very serious song, killer. I love the lyrics, the part about the doggies in heaven, thats the deal. Its as real as it gets. Real, real real. Great song Mark.

Second listening. Still like it. I've never been an eleven year old boy, but I have two boys, so I think I've seen them in this moment. Love when the guitar comes in. Love the vocals, too.
Wish I could write songs like this when I'm drunk. Hmmm... maybe I need to start drinking more. Excellent acoustic jam. This one has a sort of Adam Sandler feel to it. I think it's a combination of your voice and the lyrics. Well done!
Coolest song I ever heard. And to think that you nailed it on the first take! I was laughing through-out the song (well, except the part about your dog getting the blue tongue - I almost cried at that part).

That is something new to me...

Do or Die
(words and music by Tharek Mokbul)
Do or die, that’s what Everyone here is…
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat???
Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for.
Move along..............Move along.

I knew it!! There had to be a snap at the end, no question about it. A very accurate depiction of one of the little b*stards sneaking around my kitchen, eventually meeting up with its impending doom.
Only peanut butter never worked for me - I always ended up with a bare, unsnapped trap. Always had to go with american or cheddar packed tightly around the trigger :)
I've actually watched it a couple times. If I only had some for this wonderful soundtrack!
This is my first effort with real bongos. I've been so inspired by Norm's talents, that I had to give it a try. I borrowed a set of bongos from my brother Asa.

I had to play 18 holes of golf to get my hands…
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
I had not touched my keyboard for a long time - couple months? So it was inspiring to play it again. I set it up in the living room of the new house and played pianoteq on my laptop using a Just Intonation tuning (below). Actually I had to improvise…
Sank a solid 17.5 hours into this one, so there won't be a complete album out of this 24 hour day.
Had the structure floating around for a year; this is my first stab at it. There are definitely huge revisions in store.
Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…
Some more good fun with Brian Bazeley and Jarvis.
I added some drums and some horns to Jarvo's noodling.
There's probably room for vocals if anyone is feeling froggy.
Thanks Brian and Jarvis
Cant sleep....
Thought I'd write a Tune....
Had to be fairly Quiet on this, so as not to wake the Baby...
Hope you Like it.

This is the classic Launched style, the spook baby, its got it. I love this kind of sound you get here.
Finally getting to this song Mark. Are you teh man or what? This is really deadly. I find this to be a very serious song, killer. I love the lyrics, the part about the doggies in heaven, thats the deal. Its as real as it gets. Real, real real. Great song Mark.

You composed this very well..ESPECIALLY considering you were drunk! Thanks for sharing...you lush. hehe just kidding.
It is damn cool! That guitar melody is sweet.
Catchy, I'm gonna be singing this in my head the rest of the day...
Whatta cool song. Catchy and funny!
Yup, it's the coolest song I ever heard.

Killer guitar!! Kind of as a "There goes my girl" feel to it. Very cool!
As badass as electro can get! Pro and right on the money.
Wow.... WOW!!!!! I love this - 'Bout all I can say, bro! You rule!
Fantastic, bro! Great vocals - You sound like Anthony Keidis!
What this tune needs is more mousetrap!
Hey, you're back! Cool tune, bro!
I like the Moody Blues sounding wind on this. Very cool.
Very cool - I love it!

Freakin' cool, bud! Definitely Christopher Walken "More computer cabinet!" style! And, sweet debut on the bongos!! Norm will be proud!
Do it, Dave!
You cooked up a great tune with your new mandolin! Another example of your songwriting genius my friend!
Elegant melody - Well put together.
Sweet!
Awesomus!
Spartan with a complicated sound - That is pretty damn cool.
I love the amped open sound you guys have here. Very cool!
Very intense playing - I like it. Sounds like you may have had Stuart Copeland and Andy Summers locked away in your basement for this session as well.
Beautiful tune, bro! Love that picking, too. You've built up quite a set - Ear candy!
Great tune with cool guitar and vox. Love it. The percussion was somewhat distracting, however.
