Proof that a cheap electric guitar can be a substitute for a drum kit.

Again substituting a guitar for a drum kit but this time an acoustic.
Structurally, a more straight-forward piece, sounding more like a band than some of the other Ca Va? Oui, Ca Va! songs.

A badly-tuned kalimba, a toy drum and a novelty stapler... Pop genius.

This one was written after coming home in the harsh light of being out all night after learning someone I knew put a shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. I write this from his perspective...
'Nuff said.

Probably one of my better gtr riffs/rhythm parts in those days. The song is always borderline going off the tracks...but it was fun to play live.

The close friend of mine who helped engineer this session said my gtr sounded like a swarm of angry bees. That's the best compliment I can think of. This was a mayhem producer when played live. I barely was able to keep it together in the studio…

This one is a classic case of "Chasing The Demo".
In other words, I am not happy with it. The demo versions had a ton more feel and groove. This one sounds rushed and doesn't do the song justice. Oh well, such is life when you are on a budget…

This song was written long before it was recorded, though it stayed pretty much the same from day one of its creation until the studio about 4 years later. My favorite part is my guitar riffs near the end. My least favorite part is my crappy singing.
Uploaded
This song went through multiple iterations before coming out like this. It was a great song to play live. Did anyone catch the tip of the hat to "Fire and Rain" at the very end of the song?
Uploaded
That twanging sound at the beginning of the song is me putting my acoustic through an amp with all knobs on 10. Acoustics feedback at 440mhz, which is an A note. The song is in A. It kind of sounds like a high tension electrical wire.

The only song I ever wrote about an actual person I knew. She's heard it and she now sings all corny and gets the words wrong.

called this track 'dirty awakenings' because it sounds like dirty awakenings.

It's the "do no harm" mix.

Sometimes we stay in a relationship because we grow comfortable, and we're scared to leave. The fear of being alone fuels us to settle for the wrong one. This song is my reflection of one situation that I was in. "Let Her Go"

Using the microKORG, GarageBand drum kits, and a cheap acoustic guitar. Beware, it is far from done. The final version will likely be longer and less repetitive (if possible).
