Another one from the dusty special price bin! It started off as a Pilot cover, but it didn't end up that way.
Dave Berry added the excellent tele solos and the crazy cool noises at the end. Thanks bro, you rock!
I spent more time on this…
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…
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.

My only musical Christmas present. Tharek(Osckilo) sent me a wonderful Spanish/Arab sounding guitar track. All I had to do was sing. Sometimes that is the biggest treat of all, and I took full advantage of it. Thanks, bro!!
All done on the…
A Halloween collab we did last fall that I thought was pretty cool. Designed to scare old ladies and make babies cry :) I love the way the song peters off in the end.
All tracks recorded with the Boss Micro BR, mixed with Audacity and mastered…

gee.... I've recorded under the same influence! "Excuse me sir... but could you tell us, for all your listeners out there, what was your influence in making this music?" "Oh, I'd say it was vodka....".

Nice, Launched. I'm a fan of the sparce, (when I do it I call it"austere", "minimalist", pisses off my friends who believe a song has to have certain things in it to be bonafide, and I love doing that too!)And, thanks for the listen, and the comments. New Hampshire? I'm in Kittery Point. Maybe we'll collide at the listening party.

Aw, sorry to hear about your RPM - was wondering.
I love this track - your voice sounds especially soulful, and the melody tugs at the listener.
And great back story.
"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
Nice one mate dig it. Thanks for your recent comments mate. Great vocals well mixed. Top track.
I know this tune....I want the vodka!!! Great catchy song!!! Gnasty
Hey Launched, Love this tune man!! Great Groove!! Great Production!! Gnasty
Pure magic. Even in the face of adversity - the show must go on. Well done, nice track.
No objection to the BGE sequel. Nothing but encouragement from my end. Let me know if you need any help with anything.
Where does Baby Green Ernie fit in with all this?
I like your voice .
I like it hot.
Oh, shame about your RPM. This is a great song, produced under extreme conditions, I curtsy to you sir.
I guess I wasn't the only one who suffered a blackout during RPM. Thank the makers for acoustic instruments. Great job, in the dark.
some freakin' freakout shit going on!
Great tune...one of my favorites of yours. Has the Money Mark sound!
exotic and infectious...excellent collab!
Great spook factor...Count Floyd says: ahoooooooooooo!
this came out real nice...dark and brooding.
Fly on Baby Green Ernie, Fly on.
gee.... I've recorded under the same influence! "Excuse me sir... but could you tell us, for all your listeners out there, what was your influence in making this music?" "Oh, I'd say it was vodka....".

Haha, love the howling at the moon part, and your laugh, awesome!

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!
