Lyrics and music by Brian Vaughn. Guest guitar solo by Karl Ridgeway (0:38 and 1:14). Lyrics: Oh little girl won't you tell me what you were looking for when you came to this place? You've got friends, but not many of them like to be seen. Oh…

Garn/Landry (And I barely deserve any credit for this one at all) A while back, Jim recorded a rough version of this song, and upon listening to it, I was thrown back to a day from my youth. While vacationing in Vermont, a small twister throwing…

Jip and JB in the Jipster studio, sitting down with guitars and a few beers, and many laughs. It was almost abandoned at one point, but we pressed on. Here's the result. I don't think the mouse has a name.

This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…

A drone piece, recorded during equipment check for a live perf. A room recording, stereo amp setup.

This is a song I have just recently finished recorded over the summer in my basement using all live recordings of real instruments (intro vocals were recorded literally on a cliffside), and this is the first of more to come. It's a song about…

Flinch I'm guilty I took the bait again And here I am again Always with the same stupid grin And I didn't go as planned Few things do I've learned From the top I pulled it but I didn't see how far you'd go didn't I see you flinch…

New song about sad events in Japan. Meant with respect and sympathy --- I was out of town on the day When the wave swept our world away I've gotta find you, gotta get home Deep inside the exclusion zone I have to find you girl The most beautiful…

'...remotely 'Bird'-like experiment...' (Charlie Parker reference)

I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.

This is the first song I uploaded to share on the internet when I first donned the name Alpha_Alpha. Thanks to fellow 'lonetoners and SoOn friends Norm and Vaisvil for contributing to make this song really special!

One night I was seated in a lounge chair in my back yard when the thought ocurred to me. This is nice, but is this all there is? Is this the reason I work? Is this the reason I pay bills and worry about the future and make sure my kids do their…

Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!

A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing. The cover art in the mp3 is by thomwisdom: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomwisdom/2605283686/

*Electronic rock with jungle/drum-and-bass influence* I've never really felt that I was ever good enough But even I can be improved if I just stay tough My teeth are metal reinforced My eyes are plastic lens And daemons run inside my head…
