LYRICS:
Live to my potential
End my life in debt
Meet no expectations
except what I regret
I lost
what a cost
There's no way I would have won
I know
let it go
There's no point what's done is done
A much different version of an old demo. Sometimes things really do change.
LYRICS:
Been lost
for quite some time
who knew what to do
Living with
the runaround
Never had a clue
Suddenly
it all changed
Shook me to my core
I'll…
A guy I know told me I never write happy songs. I tried my best.
LYRICS:
It's just you and me here now
up here on a cloud
What do we care? When we're
drifting on castles made of air
You have nothing left to fear
up here in the…
Another cover of a rare throwaway song of Kurt's. I was shooting for the mellower Nirvana sonic palette.
LYRICS:
Well congratulations you have won
It's a year subscription of bad puns
And the make-shift story of concern
is to set it off…
A guy I know told me I never write happy songs. I tried my best.

I love the Foos almost as much as Nirvana, I owe more to that band than probably anyone.
Also, I like to COVER the rare stuff, so if you're not familiar with the song, it's because it was only performed live once at Lupo's in Providence, RI…

This is the closest I'd get to psychedelic rock, I don't even know what to call this kind of song, to be honest.
Technically this is a redo of an old demo song of mine, but of course things grew in the retelling.
The rock section of the…
I had to do a love song so . . . .
LYRICS:
So we were two
less than one now that we're through
It came to pass
nothing good could ever last
It's in the past
Why won't it die
The words are flowing now

This song's about why sometimes you have to live your life, even if other people don't like it. Yeah, and I like Shakespeare too.

I don't know why you won't speak to me
I could use a little sympathy
I don't know why there must be…
I really like the wide range of music you play. There's a lot to like in everything you do. Just making a comment on this one at random, but I have to say, it's a very pleasing piece and unique, too.
So I moved to North Carolina to be closer to family and it's been a good experience. However it was tough to leave some people behind. This song is about that.
BTW, there is a riff about 8 minutes in written by my buddy Chris Schugg

I recorded this back in February for the RPM... then I got all distracted by non-discontent and work. I finally decided to go ahead and just abandon the album - but here is the one decent track I made :)

Something new for ya. Had to piece this one together . . . wasn't much to go on since Nirvana was just messing around on this song, but that's part of the fun, extrapolating stuff.
For the record, I used the chords for the chorus that Nirvana…

I wanted to do a country song for my brother Mike, but I really don't know much about country music. This is the result.
Hope you like it, Mike.

I thought this was a cool title until I found out what it was.
This person is just using the site so he can get his podcasts on iTunes. I'm waiting for someone to give 'em the heave ho.
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
A Track recorded at Studio #20 in 1997 on an ADAT machine in the early hours of the morning. Now, for the first time, seeing the light of day once again!

This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Everybody asks me why I'm so happy

Buddy Holly's music has been very central to my life.
Sometimes I try to write a Buddy Holly song.
I really REALLY like this . . . . I really dig the hard sound. This rocks . . . very Beatleseque in a good way.
Surprised I never checked out your stuff before now.
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
Holy fuck, how cool where those amplified guitars!!!!! I would have never expected this song to take that turn.
Seriously, awesome job on outrocking most of the boys on the radio. Reminds me of Heart in a way.
I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…

Comments on Permanent Tourist's stuff
Those drums are great.....enjoyed .....certainly woke me up this morning
love all your stuff. thought "permanent tourists" was a good band name, so i googled/youtubed it, discovered your stuff. super good. great job!
This is nice. Has a 90's Seattle vibe to it. Little psychedelia as well. Nice harmonies with the voices.
this is a cover? I like this as an original. Great lyrics. Reminds me of the Who.
I simply love this song. Please keep it instrumental after you polish it. It is AWESOME! -Clyde
Not enough bands do instrumentals anymore. I love stuff like this.
good tune
love how you've done he vocal....Bravo
Never heard anyone cover this before! Thanks
I don't believe this is FF.
This is quite the trip! Well done!
Love it, mang. Ween meets Ten Benson. My kinda stuff!!
Love Nirvana but don't know this song - but you've captured such feeling in the vocal especially. Found this very moving.
Sub Bop grooves and dirt, that is a good thing.
I didn't but now I do and it's pretty cool Major Tom meets Kurt.
Like :)
Top piano work very cool.

Fantastic.
If someone has a problem with my personal views, stay the fuck off my music page!

Wistful. Right up my alley.

@ Guest . . . yeah I probably would. ;)
@ Zack Facco I write them out, and then I play/record each part twice.

Hmm- this sounds so familiar . . . .
Love your stuff, but when will there be something new?!?!? Grrr . . . . :)
I like the chord choice as well.
Where is this Rose, and where can I meet her?
More polychords make their appearance . .. you're a sneaky composer, almost like Ralph Vaughn Williams meets Isaac Albeniz, if that makes sense.
I really REALLY like this . . . . I really dig the hard sound. This rocks . . . very Beatleseque in a good way. Surprised I never checked out your stuff before now.
Wonderful tones . . . soothing

I dig it. (I'm not criticizing, but a tiny bit of reverb/echo on the drums would be perfect.)
Your stuff seems to getting more adventurous and progressive, and I really like it. Why no thumbs up icon?
This is very good. P.S. I'd really love to hear you do something with a heavier Sabbathy/AIC-type riff underneath.
