Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…

As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…

My contribution to the Angie Fights Crime album "Sunny, Sorta..." AFC wrote the lyrics and chords, then gave me free reign to do what I wanted from there.
I tried some very out of character things with the guitar. I think they worked…

This is my contribution to the Angie Fights Crime project titled "Sunny Sorta"...." It's 12 songs written by A.F.C. and performed by 12 different artists.
I chose Honky Tonk Prison because I knew it would rock and roll :)

Another one from last nights session down the cellar.........Well it was only a matter of time before Reg had enough of her, she reminded him too much of Desire......now he's gone.......it was goodbye.........
Eerrgh! I *knew* that Desire was a big mistake for you. I'm afraid that she might haunt you forever. (What ever happened to her??) Nice dog-house bass.
I salivated over this $3,500 guitar last night. I had the "expensive guitar room" at Guitar Center to myself so I played and recorded on my zoom H2. Yes, this is guitar p0rn...
I hijacked Norbert Oldani's excellent piano improvisation and add some guitar to it.
His original is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5150711/PianoI911.mp3

This improvisation (chords, melody and lyrics) is complete fiction and any resemblance to anything at all is just a coincidence.

I had this mellow tune hanging around when I heard "Love is Life" by The Two Regs and thought I need to catch the other Reg while he's around.
Lucky for me he had the time, the voice, and the melody. We created this lovely tune.
I was electrified…
Reg has been reading a lot lately he's currently reading an interesting book called "Storming Heaven LSD and the American Dream by Jay Stevens" and so he decided to revisit A Toast to the Stone-age he did with Norm during Johnny's death and before…
Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
and all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around

I reverted my Woods acoustic from 18 edo back to normal 12 edo - and ran 2 tracks of it into guitar rig. Added 5 string bass - and then added the drum pad - which explains the totally odd percussion. The first track I did had an open mic (thus…
