Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
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…

Damn fine work Norm. Damn fine. Love the changes, the whole piece is incredible. Also love the comment reference to mty. python. ;) The speed at the begining is killer. Listened to, saved, donwloaded, and fav'd....i'll be jammin on this on for a while!

@Sis: LOL!
Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
---Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
--Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
--More witches.
--Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
--...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
--Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
--Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
--No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
--Bread.
--Apples.
--Very small rocks.
--Cider.
--Gravy.
--Cherries.
--Mud.
--Churches.
--Lead! Lead!
--A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
--If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
...A witch!

A Song About an old Saying......
Sh*t Happens......
Lyrics
T.Mokbul 2010
-In A Day-
Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…
I sent the tracks for this tune to a friend of mine who owns a professional studio. I gave him no instructions on how to mix it, as I wanted someone else's take on the music. He created a very dry, intimate mix, focusing more on the acoustic guitars…
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).
When I wrote this it was a cold cloudy and dark winter night here in vancouver but I was sitting in my room and was just in a sunny state of mind. I then picked up my Uke and started fiddlin around searching for a breezy chord progression, then…
well I thiiink it was one of the maaaany times in which we would go down to the pMundo beach by the river build a fire, burn one (a couple) down and jam out loud, where I came up with this beautiful chord progression. It was then about a week…
Dead to the World
Just a shade
A specter, a ghost
No place amongst the society of perfect being!
Dead to the World
Alien, unwanted
Not here, unseen
Untagged, uncounted
Lost, unwanted, despised, no home, no place, no Soul!
Dead…
Well, you already know I adore this one: 5/4 meter, an unforgettable & unique hook, wicked guitar licks and a killer percussion/bass groove. It’s just perfect.
I'm singing lead on this. It was recorded to 24 track, 2 inch tape, I'm thinking. I have those somewhere, but they've turned gooey. Sadly, it seems to go into the red during the chorus, but I can't fix that now. I have more stories about the…
The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
I thought this was a Hapi drum (or perhaps a Hang Drum), which I just love. Very nice work on it, Mark, as well as the djembe & dumbek. And Chris' guitar work makes even nicer. Strong work guys!
Mat and Jodi have been separated by a vast divide in time and space. AND YET! they can still create the distucto! as if by magic.
this track was part made in Brooklyn this morning and afternoon and simultaneously in Berlin this afternoon and…
walking down the street in the 1973, you're wearing yellow tinted shades, and a hat with a feather in it. Your switchblade is in your pocket, but you're not gonna need to use it today. Cause the sun is shining and folks are eating ice cream…
Well sure, you could call me a sucker for anything with a ukulele in it, but I REALLY like this one. Great percussion work. And the simple hook used to "respond" to the uke is my very favorite part. Excellent work!
these 2 "new" songs are a test to see if I now have what I need to successfully upload material. These 2 songs were recorded 20 years ago on a Tascam 4-track. The band is the Riptiles.

Way cool! Dig that shift at 4 minutes
He's a witch! He's a witch!
always dig long drum solos if interesting, and this sure is. DL'd to mess around with later.

Now this is one cool groove. Fantastic percussion!
Now this is an awesome song. Great vocals!
I really enjoy this one. Many thanks!
Simply beautiful. Thanks.
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).
Good one!
Nice work - I love the accordian in this one too.

Fantastic voice!
This is totally awesome. Very creative. Thanks!
Now that's what I'm talking about! Great stuff. I'd love to be able to get my hands on a Hang Drum - the Hapi sounds just like one here.
I thought this was a Hapi drum (or perhaps a Hang Drum), which I just love. Very nice work on it, Mark, as well as the djembe & dumbek. And Chris' guitar work makes even nicer. Strong work guys!
"... on your eyeball". ROFL!
I must be part Korean or something... I like it!
I want to see the video.
Ooh-la-la! Très bon!
LOL at the introduction here...

Rad. Way rad.
This is way hip! This is the sort of vintage surf guitar sound I had in mind for my "Surf Naked" percussion track. :)
