This is my punk version of Phil Collin's Against All Odds

Need some vocal ideas...

Rough cut - need some vocal ideas

This is the first original piece I've recorded. In 2001 when I was living in Toronto I met a girl called Amy Jones. She was and remains just a friend, but I thought her name sounded great for being part of a song lyric! So the song isn't about…

Radiohead have been my favourite band for a long time and this is the first song of theirs I really loved. I regularly sing this one at karaoke nights. The recording is me in my bedroom with my keyboard, and is based on the acoustic version from…

Shockingly I first became aware of this track while watching the 2009 film Watchmen (I'm a bit rubbish like that!). It is of course a beautiful Simon and Garfunkel song and although I get the accompaniment slightly wrong I think I've done a pretty…

Every male artist under the sun has a version of this classic Cohen track it seems. I am no exception! This one I only uncovered recently with a bad vocal track. I removed the vocals and stitched on some new ones, but it's a placeholder only…

So this was my attempt at being nostalgic. I grew up in the UK in the era of Britpop where soulful working class bands sang about not very much in Northern accents. The words are pretty much meaningless, the drum beat is repetitive, the piano…

I just stood back and listened to Amy, along with everyone else.

Been awhile since I've done some decent remixing, so I give you another NES classic. Castlevania. a game created for the NES by Konami back in 1986, with great music composed by Kinuyo Yamashita, was one of very few classics I managed to beat…
