Live in the Living Room cover of Hawkwind's Master of the Universe
Done for the Songcrafters.org fest Live in the Living Room, I made this recording in one take. Which isn't how I usually work. My guitar was put through fuzz and distortion…

Go to the head of the class. John would have approved. Great job! I'm downloading so I can hear it in the other direction. Have you heard my "niaR" (Rain)? Be sure to check it out in both directions! Anyway, A+, dude!
Original song which has come about entirely this week. It's about how primitive a species we are to still buy into religion.
Thin veneer civilisation
Placed upon my ape
Flimsy film sophistication
on my head is drape
Can I hide realisation…
This song, Way it Goes, (odh original) forms the second part of a diptych with my other recent song, Storming Woman. They were both written around the same time, and both under the influence of early ZZ Top (and other things). They book-end…
Did this back in 2009.
Before me and Jim actually met each other...
The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.
Jim did the Lyrics in 5 mins over the net..
And here it is..

Track #3 from the "Someone Else's Hell" album.
Lyrics:
Familiarity breeds contempt
I'm tired of everybody thinking they know me
It's time for a change of pace my friend
A new scene to set on fire again
// I need something to be…
First track I produced on my DAW...just tryin' to get the feel of thing at the time (no manual...well...a manual, but it's in Japanese...so same thing). Anyway, it's pretty simple...programmed a drum track, threw down a fretless dub line...threw…
This has probably the least effert i've ever put into a song , i was sat at my computer falling asleep , when i had the urge to sing this beautiful George Harrison song , i could'nt be asked to get up and change guitars , so using my PRS Singlecut…

written on september the 3rd 2010 this is what i said about the song at the time.....
was saddened to hear…
I wish I could do quiet songs. Can't do it, everyone always ends up loud. It's a skill you obviously have though, Jim, this is just dreamy, I feel like lazy summer is already here...
Cover of the Joy Division classic, with a little drum'n'bass thrown into the mix
This version from September 2010
The youtube version is my original recording going back to 1997.
Thanks for the comments everyone. You're right,this is done with love and respect, Joy Division are one of my big influences, especially going to university Manchester (actually Salford) in the Eighties.
It's a cover of the Boston song, More than a Feeling. In a sort of euphoric house style. Which isn't my normal style by any means.
It's not a song which has been a big part of my life, I heard it in the Men Who Stare at Goats film and could…

Comments on odh's stuff
nicely done!
Zeppelin III had a lot of special songs and this was one of them - excellent choice and execution!
Excellent cover of a great song. Well done!
Nice : )
Remember this one too. Amazing effort by yourself!
I love this old song. Nice arrangement mate
Like it. Soft punk feel to it.
Nice version! Good job.
Verrrry nice, dude!
Awww dude this is great. Love the reverb'd guitar and drum machine combo. Great vocal delivery as well.
Very cool bud, good to hear from you. Cheers
Good point
Just heard in reverse -- neat, delicious, psychedelic, groovy, and cool.

Ah, beautiful!
I'm not familiar with the original to compare this version with, but I really dig what's happening here. Rock on!
This fits into a genre I like to call "Southern-Fried Boogie Blues," of which ZZ Top is the definitive masters. LOVE IT!!! Great job -- Rock on!
This ROCKS! Very clever, brilliant. Rock on!
Very delightful, very entertaining.
Lovin' that organ.
Comments made by odh
I enjoyed it. Like the bass and the subtle building on the arrangement. Not at all boring.
Really pleased I came across your stuff. You're my new favorite band...
I love the vibe and intensity. This is right up my 'street'.
Pink Floyd, Jan Hammer and Ennio Morricone - there's a supergroup I'd pay to see. Big sounds here, nice production
Something of the Dylan about it. Great mellow feel.
My kind of song. I think you're voice is good without the screaming too, has a kind a fragility which appeals. Good stuff...
Zombie, please, if you're offereing...
Nice pluckin'
Sehr gut, mag ich. Wicked
Great singing, nice cover
Lovely sounding instrument. Could use a flute accompaniment.
Moving piece. The shear weight of personal tragedy is overwheling and your music somehow seems to connect with it.
Beautiful
You've got a brilliant voice, very expressive. Loving the alt-country feel to your stuff.

New version uploaded. Fewer nits
Thanks for the comments everyone. I've got a better mixed version at home which I'm going to swap out for this one when I get a chance...
