I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…
In Argentina they say "in Argentina everything may change - except the tango", but I couldn't resist adding some percussion to this beautiful nuevo tango by Vincent Voois, composed in the style of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla.
Check out Vincent…
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…
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
now where did i put that bottle of Rum...i've got the mint and the ice cubes............Damn i drank it already.....mint and ice just doesn't cut it but this tune certainly does ....great collab chaps ...i'll be back when i get another bottle......

Ok, so I'm just a percussionist, and if your only tool is a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. I get it. And I also get that our songs are our children, so we should be very careful about whom we let them play with.
When I first heard…
HaHaHa!
I am still laughing at you, the collective interweb. No idea, right? Then admit defeat. I am the only person on earth who can conquer this melody. (Not really vain, just looking for mathematical discussion.)
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
Chris, if I could play kit as well as MTC mixes it (or if anyone could) I would quit my day job. But, sincerely, thanks for thinking, even just for a second, that I could pull that off.
A love song for the heart break fest on the otherside.....
I DON'T KNOW
Baby don't leave
Don't leave me cold
The nights still young but it's starting to feel old
The day we met still burns bright in my mind
But I know that deep inside you…
Reg. I hate to hear you in such pain. You need a good week out with the boys some place close to the equator. When we bring you back, things will look much better. New clothes. New shoes. New hangover. New tattoo. New lease on life.

Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…

In the mean time
Knockin' at your door

In the darkness
I walk alone
Eternal solitude
My only home
And the path I follow
Towards the unknown
Is a path that's laid
For my steps alone
In the morning…

Don’t be so cruel. Give us more Peppermint Sky. Vicious, you are.

A A new toy! And a FANTASTIC one! I can't wait to hehear more of this.
I still love it!
Where was I with Bethan Mathis? Somewhere between hyperventilating and bliss. Great work, Goose.
...
Time for me to listen to this again.
More cello!
This is still epic and one of my all time favs.
Ha! You could never lose us...
Producer of Dark Side of the Moon! I like his music too, but this was perhaps his greatest contribution... Well done.
I love the bass work here...
Time for my annual comment. A key song in the soundtrack of my life.
Outstanding guitar work here.
How lovely to hear Bee again, whom I would happily throw over my shoulder, any day.
Fuck the mean time. In the meantime, I'm going to let heaven pour all over everyone I love. Thanks for reminding me.
Ahh. Like a warm bath, rare, but delightful, my moments with Street invigorate me.
