Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…

This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…

Like anyone who happens to look, I see the signs of a failing economy all over the Country. This song is a effort to encourage folks to struggle for a more open and equitable system for the financial benefit of all of us.

It was about time I got on with musical expression. This song is about our interconnectedness. Our identity. Serious mystic stuff eh? Yeah - wait until you hear it - haha.

Collaboration with Freight Drive Reprobates (music) and Darkarma (lyrics).
Don't think it's my best, but it's been hanging around for so long, I needed to get it out so I can move on to the next one :)
Enjoy!

I can only listen to Mustang Sally so many times. But Genghis has the most incredible tone. I can't keep my ears of it!

Wait for the room to focus
Feeling around for closure
The whiteness of my skin
The pale reflecting eyes
The beaty of total darkness
Move to the door and open
Room after room of sorrow
Breathing through your mouth
Flooding from your eyes…

It belongs here.

One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!

Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell

This one was recorded back in 2011 but I never posted it. I took a listen to it recently and liked what I heard with fresh ears. It's another of my surf tunes which I enjoy making from time to time.

Thought I'd have a go at a soul number. FDR did some lead but the song was left all alone on my comp until today when I landed on it's lyrics while driving home. Thought I'd have a plumb at auditioning for the 3rd Reg, lol.

I wish you could see
The beautiful light
That surrounds you
It touches me, touching you
We look at these pictures

When we knew nothing

Forget everything…

I hear you
Calling my name
Like a whisper
And a scream
You haunt me
Forever
Twist your arms
Around my neck
In a dead embrace
Locked with love
You haunt me
You haunt me

From the walls
To see what
Was underneath

You’re taking me down
Breaking me down again
Circling around
Spinning toward the bottom
It’s a place we know
Where we always go
We can’t get lost
We know the way
Do we crave the dark
Long for misery
Embrace the end
To only rise again

There's a lot of weirdness going on here.

When I was a bird,
Clipped my own wings, so you wouldn't hurt.

Gene Eric Mann was kind enough to do noise removal for me. The hiss is all gone, which is awesome! The resulting track has an interesting ethereal quality. This might end up being rerecorded at some point, but this is an amazing improvement!

So 50/90 is an unnatural forcing of a crap ton of songs in a relatively short period of time. We're half way though and I've learned one thing. I've learned how easy it is to repeat something you've already done. This one sounds a LOT like…

This one feels forced. I don't know, it just isn't doing much for me. I like the part after the first solo where the drums ride on a crash cymbal, but the rest of it doesn't seem to gel. The lyrics are gibberish made up on the spot. The guitars…
